The District B runoff between Tarsha Jackson (left) and Cynthia Bailey (right) is about to come down to mail-in ballots. At this point, there are 12,916 mail-in ballots sitting somewhere waiting to be returned. Not one mail-in ballot was received on the first day of early voting, or the second day of early voting. Where are they? Are the mail-in ballots sitting with harvesters? Or are the mail-in ballots simply not going to be returned at all? Not sure, but what we had better not see, is for one of these candidates receive thousands of mail-in ballots. Why? Well, neither candidate received over 500 mail-in ballots back when they faced off on Tuesday, November 5, 2019, in the general election. In fact, Tarsha Jackson only received, 499 mail-in ballots back in 2019, and Cynthia K. Bailey only received 203 mail-in ballots back in 2019. And with (14) fourteen candidates on the ballot back on Tuesday, November 5, 2020, there were only 1,809 mail-in ballots cast in the Houston City Council District B race. So, to see either Tarsha Jackson, or Cynthia K. Bailey go from 499 mail-in ballots, and 203 mail-in ballots back in 2019 to several thousand mail-in ballots in 2020 is going to raise some serious red flags.
Only About 149 of the More than 98,919 Registered District B Voters Cast Ballots in the Runoff Yesterday, November 30, 2020
AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©
What we are seeing in terms of turnout is very disappointing whereas the long-awaited Houston City Council District B runoff election between Tarsha Jackson and Cynthia Bailey is concerned. Get this, as best I can tell only about 149 of the 261 voters who turned out to cast in-person ballots yesterday, did so in the Houston City Council District B runoff. Is it voter fatigue? Voter apathy? People just don’t give a damn? A lack of media attention? Look, whatever the case, we must do better than what we are seeing take place right now as African Americans. We can’t just vote in presidential elections and not care about local races. We can’t have the largest single-member council district turning out only 149 votes when there are more than 98,919 registered voters living in an area. How did I come up with this turnout number? Well, the District B runoff race isn’t the only race that people in the Houston-area are voting on right now. What we know for sure is that there are currently (6) six runoff races underway right now in the Houston-area and only 261 voters showed up yesterday, Monday, November 3, 2020. And we have two runoff races going down in Missouri City, Texas. So what we are looking at, is that we have the runoff Houston City Council District B between Cynthia K. Bailey and Tarsha Jackson. We have the runoff for Baytown City Council Member for District 5 between Thomas Parent and Jacob Powell. We have the runoff for Baytown City Council Member for District 6 between Mike Lester and Susan Cummings. We have the runoff for Humble City Council Member for Place 4 between Arliss Ann Bentley and Paula Settle. We have the runoff race for La Port Council Person for District 6 between Gary Rohr and Robbie McLarrin. And last, but not least we have the runoff race for the City of Nassau Bay Mayor between Bob Warters and Ashley Graves. That being said, when you factor in all of these runoff races, the total runoff turnout for Houston City Council District B, could not have been more than 149 people yesterday – which is pathetic. But don’t take my word for it, let me break it down for you.
STRICTLY BY THE NUMBERS
Voters who are casting their ballot in the District B runoff can vote early at any of the early voting locations, so the numbers I’m giving you are only meant to serve as an overview of what I believe took place yesterday, Monday, November 30, 2020. Okay???

Only 20 people showed up at the Acres Homes Multi-Service Center on Monday, November 30, 2020, to cast their ballot in person.

REPORT SUMMARY
Where are the 12,916 mail-ballots? In my opinion, some of those mail-ballots should have been returned already. In case you don’t know, not one, of the mail-in ballot was returned on Wednesday, November 25, 2020 – the first day of early voting, nor was any mail-in ballots returned on Monday, November 30, 2020 – the second day of early voting. Are we about to see a mail-ballot dump? Will the District B runoff race be won strictly by “ABSENTEE-MAIL BALLOT” voting? I’m not sure at this point, but I certainly hope not!!! Anyways, through the first two days, there hasn’t been one mail-ballot returned so far – and this is concerning. Where are they? Why haven’t any been returned yet? That’s all I have to say about this race right now.

Former City of Houston Police Chief C.O. Bradford and Many Other Honorable People Have Endorsed Cynthia K. Bailey Over Tarsha Jackson in the Runoff Election for District B
AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©
You don't normally see former Houston Police Chief C.O. Bradford handing out endorsements. So, that makes the fact that he's formally endorsed Cynthia K. Bailey over Tarsha Jackson as the "BEST CHOICE" that much more special. In my opinion, the fact that Cynthia K. Bailey has earned the coveted endorsement of former Police Chief and Councilman C.O. Bradford should say all any open-minded District B voter needs to know.

Local Businessman Eric Carr and Many Other Business Leaders Have Endorsed Cynthia K. Bailey in the Runoff Election for District B
AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©
I was overjoyed to discover that former professional boxer Eric Carr had endorsed Cynthia K. Bailey over Tarsha Jackson in the runoff race for Houston City Council District B. It is always a good thing to discover business people who aren't afraid to flex political muscle. I've been telling folks for the last year or so, that Cynthia K. Bailey is a redeemed businesswoman who is one of the best in her industry. And the fact that businessmen like Eric Carr are standing with her is proof positive that Cynthia is the right choice. In case for some reason, you don't know, before entering the business world Carr was a heavyweight professional boxer. So, I'm sure he knows a winner when he sees one. Get this, as an amateur prizefighter, Carr racked up 56 wins with only 6 losses. And along the way spared with the likes of Tommy "Hit Man" Hearns, the former WBC Continental Middleweight Champion Kid Fire Parks, and 1984 Olympic medal winner Frank Tate, who went on to win a World Middleweight Championship.

Pastor Rudy and Juanita Rasmus have endorsed Cynthia K. Bailey Over Tarsha Jackson in the Race for Houston City Council District B
AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©
Like the shirts say, Houston City Council District B residents should vote like their lives depends on it! I was overjoyed when I saw that Pastor Rudy and first lady Juanita Rasmus were throwing their support behind Cynthia K. Bailey in the December 12, 2020, runoff election. That being said, the turnout must get better going forward. Why? Well, on Wednesday, November 25, 2020, the first day of early voting, only 238 people turned out to vote. And that number is split between (6) six runoff races for the Houston area. We have the runoff Houston City Council District B between Cynthia K. Bailey and Tarsha Jackson. We have the runoff for Baytown City Council Member for District 5 between Thomas Parent and Jacob Powell. We have the runoff for Baytown City Council Member for District 6 between Mike Lester and Susan Cummings. We have the runoff for Humble City Council Member for Place 4 between Arliss Ann Bentley and Paula Settle. We have the runoff race for La Port Council Person for District 6 between Gary Rohr and Robbie McLarrin. And last but not least we have the runoff race for the City of Nassau Bay Mayor between Bob Warters and Ashley Graves. That being said, when you factor in all of these runoff races, the runoff for Houston City Council District B, more than likely didn't have but about 74 votes or so cast on the first day.

Cynthia Bailey was born and raised in the historic Settegast neighborhood in Houston, TX. She has dedicated her life to serving her son and the people of District B.
Cynthia’s passion for serving her community began in 1996 when she established Impacting Houston, Inc. (formerly Sure Thing, Inc.) a nonprofit organization geared towards redeveloping and empowering disadvantaged youth. She is affectionately known as “Miss Bailey” by the thousands of children she has mentored over the past 20 years through her organization. The community-based organization provides leadership training programs, after school activities, educational field trips, exposure to cultural events, and team building activities for children and teens while also providing several workshops and programs for adults.
For years, Cynthia has been an active voice in the community and has collaborated with Houston leadership on several community issues including campaigns to fight flooding, ensure the appropriate use of Rebuild Houston funds, elimination of Red Light cameras and HISD school funding bonds. She currently leads the District B HOT Team which is responsible for trash and debris clean-up left by illegal dumping. Under her leadership, illegal dumping has decreased by 20% since 2017.
Cynthia’s work and life experiences motivates her to fight for better opportunities for youth and adults throughout District B. Cynthia believes we must heal our entire community in order to provide real opportunities for the citizens of District B.
She is committed to solving neighborhood issues while creating job opportunities. Cynthia understands the need to work with the public and private industry to attract and retain business. She will work with the City of Houston Economic Development team to advocate for better incentives programs and greater access to economic opportunities for the residents of District B.
Cynthia understands that we must work together to solve neighborhood issues. We must provide basic services focused on neighborhood beautification. She will fight for reliable transportation, effective drainage systems and dependable infrastructure to increase quality of life for all District B residents.
Cynthia is an active member in several civic and political organizations including the Settegast Neighborhood Association, Northeast Houston Democrats, New Progressive Civic Club and Houston Black American Democrats.
When not working to solve neighborhood issues, Cynthia enjoys fishing, traveling and outdoors sports activities. She is also an active member of St. John’s Downtown.
Cynthia Bailey worked hard to earn her second-place finish in the race for Houston City Council District B, on Tuesday, November 5, 2019. In case you don’t know, Cynthia K. Bailey is the right choice on Saturday, December 12, 2020, in the runoff race for Houston City Council District B in my opinion.
THE BRAINS
I’m the President/CEO of Aubrey R. Taylor Communications, the publisher of Houston Business Connections Newspaper©. In case you don’t know, I have 30-years of experience in marketing, branding, investigative reporting, public relations, opposition research, and political consulting. I’ve assisted in branding Republican and Democratic candidates in statewide elections and local municipalities throughout the State of Texas. Over the years, I’ve also assisted in branding and marketing (through my various publications) such corporations and institutions as Shell Oil, The City of Houston, Texas A&M University, Texas Southern University, Prairie View A&M University, Chevron, Waste Management, Nationwide Insurance, Momentum Jaguar/BMW, Channel 11, Channel 13, State Farm Insurance, and Allstate Insurance to name a few.
EXPERIENCED REPORTER
I would have you to know that not everyone who has been accused of a crime or enters a guilty plea in connection with a crime is guilty of the crime they're accused of committing. Neither is everyone who goes to trial to fight charges that are leveled against them and get's convicted are guilty. Look, over the years, some very bad things have happened to people of color in our criminal justice system. So to this end, please understand, that during my career, I’ve gone into the Harris County Jail and Texas prisons on numerous occasions (on secret assignments) working in conjunction with the owner of one of the largest locally owned private security, and investigations firms. The man who was funding my investigations back then (who mysteriously died) also was the godfather of one of my sons, and the backer of one of my publications. That being said, I can straight-faced assure you that I’ve seen some of the injustices that are occurring in the Texas penal system up close and personal. While on the inside, I interviewed (face-to-face) some of the hardest criminals you can imagine for my research. I also discovered first-hand that many of the people who should be locked up are walking around free, and not all of those who are locked behind bars are guilty of the crimes that they, in some cases pleaded guilty to – for whatever reason. So, let me assure you that I know a criminal when I see one. And we have a handful of local elected officials who are straight-criminals and must be stopped!!!
PEOPLE OVER POLITICS
Based on my direct observations over the years, I can attest to the fact that our current criminal justice system is more about “HAVE’S AND HAVE NOT’S” to a greater degree than most people realize. That being said, sure, in some cases, the skin color of the person being accused of a crime plays a role in who gets indicted and eventually convicted of crimes and those who go free. However, at the end of the day, from observing the system from the inside, and out; having money, good legal representation, and access to influential people are unfortunately key determining factors when it comes to who will spend the rest of their life walking around with an “X” on their back and who doesn’t. So, to this end, we must endeavor to change our criminal justice system and political landscape by “TAKING POLITICS OUT” of the way our judges are selected in the Lone Star State – that’s very important to me!
