Judge Robert Johnson (left), Judge Julia Maldonado (second from left), Jimmy Leon (top center), Johnny Teague (bottom center), and Judge Jeralynn Manor (right), are all people who value, respect, and appreciate your vote, prayers and support. However, when you look at how volatile and divisive politics has become in Texas, "POLITICAL PARTY BOSSES" would make you believe, that the letter in front of their name is all that matters when deciding whether you should cast your ballot for these people or not. But all of that has changed with the abolishment of straight-ticket voting in the Lone Star State.
Judge Jeralynn Manor is the presiding judge for the 80th Civil District Court in Harris County, Texas. From the time Judge Manor was a child, she wanted to become a judge. And back during the 2020 Presidential Election she threw her hat into the ring and challenged Judge Larry Weiman, her fellow Democrat, who held the 80th Civil District Court bench at the time. Needless to say, Jeralynn went on to handily defeat Judge Weiman, and then also went on to defeat Sharon Hemphill, the Republican nominee as well. Now, what every candidate running for office on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, needs to understand is that God is not a respecter of persons. What God has for you is for you! And just like God's plan for Jeralynn Manor's life came true, so can yours.
Judge Robert Johnson (left), is the presiding judge for the 177th Criminal District Court in Harris County, Texas. And Judge Julia Maldonado is the presiding judge for the 507th Family District Court in Harris County, Texas. Just so you know, I've admired and respected both of these members of the judiciary for many years. And back during the 2020 Presidential Election, my "EDITORIAL BOARD" endorsed both of these duly-qualified judges. That being said, I'm pleased to inform you that Judge Johnson is running for Judge, Court of Criminal Appeals, Place 6 on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, in the Midterm Election. And Judge Julia Maldonado will be on November 8, 2022, Midterm ballot seeking to become the Texas Supreme Court Justice for Place 9.
Jimmy L. Leon is a Conservative who values your vote, prayers, and support. In case you haven't heard, Jimmy is running against Congressman Al Green for the 9th Congressional District of Texas on Tuesday, November 8, 2022. Now, if you live inside the boundaries of the 9th Congressional District of Texas, please understand that Jimmy L. Leon is the candidate who respects your vote. How do we know? Well, people who respect your vote will ask for it!
Pastor Johnny Teague is a Conservative who is running for the 7th Congressional District of Texas. In case you don't know, the "CONGRESSIONAL SEAT" that Johnny is running for is currently held by Lizzie Pannil Fletcher who happens to be a Democrat. However, what you need to know about this particular "CONGRESSIONAL SEAT" is that it's flippable on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, in the Midterm Election. Now, that being said, if you live inside the boundaries of the 7th Congressional District of Texas, please understand that Pastor Johnny Teague is the only candidate running for this district (at this time) who values and appreciates your vote. How do we know? Well, because candidates who respect your vote will ask you for it!
Choosing the Right People to Vote for in Local Elections Has Become A Lot More Difficult Over the Course of the Last Decade
AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©
Over the course of the last several decades, politics has become more and more volatile and divisive. I mean, at this point satan himself could sign up and run for office and win. That being said, we cannot continue to blindly cast ballots for candidates because of their political party affiliation. Why? Well, as least as far as Harris County, Texas is concerned, we've got people running for office as Republicans who are really Democrats, and people running for office as Democrats who are really Republicans. So what's the solution? Research every candidate on the ballot, and then chose the best candidate in every race whom you believe will fight for your interests.
HOLDING PRESS CONFERENCES
Being able to call a "PRESS CONFERENCE" and being able to get the local media to show up, isn't fighting for us. Just so you know, coming around and giving out turkeys at "THANKSGIVING" is nice, but members of Congress should have to do more than that to earn your continued support. And giving your child a "CHEAP BICYCLE" at "CHRISTMAS TIME" is a really good gesture, but that does not mean that you should continue to vote for someone over and over again without holding them accountable. So, members of congress should be measured more by the number of laws they pass, rather than how many press conferences they hold.
JUDICIAL CANDIDATES
On Tuesday, November 8, 2022, the voters of Harris County, Texas will have some very important match-ups to consider in local and statewide judicial races. So, what we don't need to have is a situation where voters are going to the polls and "BLINDLY CASTING THE BALLOT" for candidates simply because they have a "D" or "R" in front of their name. Why not? Well, because the people we elect to "JUDICIAL POSITIONS" are supposed to be the best and brightest among us. Our judges are supposed to be "HONORABLE PEOPLE" who are lovers of our "CONSTITUTION" and possess the ability to treat everyone who enters their courtroom with the "DIGNITY AND RESPECT" that's afforded to them as a human being.

CLOSING THOUGHT
As we prepare to press forward toward Tuesday, November 8, 2022, in Harris County, Texas, let's make it our business to "PUT PEOPLE OVER POLITICS" in the down-ballot races. The definition of insanity is to continue doing the same thing over and over again and expecting to get a different result. That being said, we have continued to "BLINDLY SUPPORT" some of the same people for decades, but haven't gotten anything for our loyal support. So, I believe that the time has come for us to say, "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH" and endeavor to identify "PUBLIC SERVANTS" who truly care about us and the issues that are near and dear to us.

Polls Show That Beto “O’Rourke Will Have A Tough Time Defeating Gov. Greg Abbott
AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©
The fight for Texas is going to be fierce. And believe it or not, Deirdre Gilbert, a “RISING POLITICAL STAR” is actually “IN THE DRIVER’S SEAT” right now. How? Well, with polls Gov. Greg Abbott (Republican) with a sizable lead over Beto O’Rourke (Democrat), in the Lone Star State. So, no matter how you look at it, Deirdre Gilbert running as an "INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE" for Governor of Texas on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, is going to cause some serious problems in urban areas across the State of Texas -- especially since there won't be any straight-ticket voting.
MEET DEIRDRE GILBERT
Deirdre Gilbert has earned her M.A. in Educational Administration, and her B.S. in Political Science and Mass Communication (Cum Laude) from Prairie View A&M University; she is a native Houstonian, a graduate of the public school system attending elementary, middle, and high school graduating from Madison high. Deirdre has resided in Harris County for over 40 years before settling in Fort Bend County for over 10 years. Deirdre is an educator with 26 years of experience working in Houston, Aldine, and Fort Bend School Districts and is a former Houston Independent School District teacher’s union representative.
Her mother was a key influence in her life. She was a community activist and the first black woman to run for Constable in Harris County. Deirdre is best known in the community and around the country for her fight, both personally and publicly, for justice for those of medical negligence. After losing her only child, Jocelyn, because of medical negligence, Deirdre confronted the medical community and the state agencies that support it. She stood not only for herself and in memory of her daughter, but on behalf of people around the state and across the country who have felt powerless in the wake of such devastating loss.
Deirdre has worked tirelessly in her own community of Sienna Plantation, further, she’s worked on issues such as denial of voting rights in local elections within Missouri City, and MUD District issues. She has spoken before the Texas Legislature and U.S. Congress in Washington D.C on civil rights. Deirdre has helped to shape legislation regarding whistleblowers, medical malpractice, and education. Deirdre is not afraid of a battle and is willing to speak for those who are unable to speak for themselves. In addition to helping those in her community, state, local and national, she also works for a non-profit that helps veterans find employment.
Deirdre has been capturing the attention of media nationally for some time. In 2007, she released her first book entitled, “Can I Just Have a Little Bit? A Little Bit of What?” Her recent work, “Momma Help Me Please,” was inspired by the first love of her life, her daughter Jocelyn.
Deirdre is an avid speaker at book clubs, churches, and professional, civic, and community organizations.
She has been featured in Beautifully Said Magazine and African American Newspaper; mentioned in Harper’s Magazine by Ralph Nader a strong advocate for justice, received professional recognition in Women on the Move section of the Houston Business Journal, and featured in Bronze Magazine several times and in Saved Magazine along with other powerful women in ministry such as Joyce Meyers. Deirdre was mentioned in Washington Post, Stat News, and several online publications regarding her stance on medical malpractice. This journey has led to the first Blog Talk Show “Life” Radio Show that focused on “victims” of medical malpractice and then rebranded with another show called “Med/Mal Radio Show-What’s Your Verdict and just recently Malpractice Diaries-MD –We Tell the Secrets they Keep.
Since 2011, Deirdre Gilbert has not backed down from her challenges, founding non-profits such as the National Medical Malpractice Advocacy Association (NMMAA), serving as its National Director, and Executive Director of the Jocelyn Y. Dickson Foundation. NMMAA is a non-partisan educational organization that was created to promote transparency, accountability and integrity in the medical profession. Through NMMAA’s educational endeavor, she advocates high standards of ethics and morality to ensure non-abuse of the powers entrusted to the profession by the American people. Under her direction, these non-profits have gained support from members of Congress, garnered attention and recognition among state lawmakers, and sparked open dialogue and inquiry into medical negligence. With her husband of 7 years, Mr. Kurt E. Gilbert, beside her, she has spoken boldly before Medical Boards, Government Agencies, the State Legislature, and the US Congress calling for repeal of TORT Reforms, review of the Information Act as it relates to medical doctors, greater accountability in the hospital industry, and Justice for All who fall victim to healthcare abuse. The core of her message is consistent, Justice for All.
Deirdre achieved a milestone twice, first when she was asked to speak at the Whistleblower’s Summit in Washington, DC 2016, and again in 2019 when she provided testimony at the Senate Judiciary Committee Hearings about the devastating effects of medical malpractice. She has spearheaded the nation’s 1st Medical Malpractice Conference that convened medical professionals, attorneys, civil rights leaders, social justice organizations, patient safety advocates, and legislative leaders. Her third milestone was when she threw her hat in the political ring and decided to run for Justice of the Peace, Pct. 2, Fort Bend County, TX. Deirdre assisted with having H.R. 614 resolution filed in the Texas Legislature, recognizing Medical Malpractice in the State of Texas. In addition, Deirdre created a new initiative, “The Medical Malpractice Right to Justice Project’s mission to assist those harmed by medical negligence and whose cases were never heard in a court of law, to bring these cases before a court based on evidence ranging from misstated/understated or erroneous death certificates, misstated/understated/overstated or erroneous expert reports, altered or falsified medical records, the existence of individual, hospital, physician, and institutional agencies conflict of interest.
Deirdre Gilbert was instrumental in getting the 1st proclamation in 2013 recognizing July as Medical Malpractice Month. Since then, the organization has been given recognition from the State of Missouri’s Governor Jeremiah W. Nixon, the State of Colorado’s Governor John Hickenlooper, and the State of Georgia’s Governor Nathan Deal. The organization has also received several congressional, state, and local recognition. Deirdre created the first PSA that aired on Harkins movie screens across the states in September 2016, promoting and educating the public on “Preventable Medical Mistakes.” In 2019 NMMAA received the 1st Enrolled House Resolution 86 (R) HR 614 by the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas Legislature recognizing July as Medical Malpractice Month.
Deirdre Gilbert was vital in the creation of the first chapter of attorneys in the State of Louisiana and Virginia that have acquired lobbyist that handles the legislative needs of NMMAA. The lobbying action is geared toward bill drafting and legislative reform to help those harmed by egregious acts of medical malpractice.

DEIRDRE GILBERT: "The message is that "VOTER FRAUD" is not going on, and that is far from the truth. January 6th happened, but that's not the story. Ballot harvesters are stealing elections through a variety of means. Voter Fraud is not just a ONE-PARTY issue." You can "CLICK HERE" for a closer look at this advertisement."
"Now is the time when our love for America must prevail. It is incumbent upon us to elect "PUBLIC SERVANTS" who understand that they work for us. We need "ELECTED OFFICIALS" in office who love "OUR CONSTITUTION" and the ideals that our nation was founded upon by our forefathers. We must make it our collective effort to "PUT PEOPLE OVER POLITICS" and do what's best for America during this crucial moment in time."
Favoritism and Party Politics Have No Place Inside Our Harris County Courtrooms
AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©
At the end of the day, the judicial races are the most important races on the ballot. That said, who we allow to put on that black robe and occupy judicial benches (especially in Harris County, Texas) matters a great deal. Over the years, through straight-ticket voting, and folks going into the polls playing "Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe" we've allowed a few bad folks to slip through the cracks. Now, I'm not trying to play party politics in any way, shape, or form, with my words. All I'm trying to say is that nobody is perfect, but if we make it our goal to elevate people who fear God and have a backbone into positions of authority, every one of us will be afforded the opportunity to live our best life.
