Election Fraud, Dirty Politicians, and Backroom Deals Aren't Anything New in City, Countywide Elections in the Houston Area


Democrat Political Consultant Dallas Jones (left), and all of his City Council Council clients must be closely monitored in the upcoming 2023 General Election. Why? Well, back on Saturday, December 12, 2020, Tarsha Jackson (above center) defeated Cynthia Bailey by overpowering her with a superior "ABSENTEE MAIL BALLOT" campaign. As a matter of fact, Tarsha Jackson got so many "ABSENTEE MAIL BALLOTS" that she didn't even need the early in-person votes, and election day in-person votes she received to defeat Cynthia Bailey in their December 12, 2020, runoff showdown in the Bayou City. Now, if you fast forward to the Tuesday, November 8, 2022, Midterm Election, the Harris County Republican Party has just discovered that the Harris County Elections Administrator (Clifford Tatum), has just reported that 9,307 more votes (than should be) based on the number of ballots that were mailed out and returned. According to the "OFFICIAL RECONCILIATION REPORT" that was just certified, 54,952 voters returned their mail-in ballots, but 64,259 mail-in ballots were counted. And according to the Harris County Republican Party, Clifford Tatum, the Harris County Elections Administrator hasn't even provided an explanation for the discrepancy.


Darlene "Koffey" Smith (Koffey El-Bey) isn't afraid of the dirty local politicians. In fact, Koffey has designated her treasurer as Elke Henderson and has agreed to challenge Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson for the Houston City Council District B seat on Tuesday, November 7, 2023, in the Bayou City.

Election Fraud, Dirty Politicians, and Backroom Deals Aren't Anything New in City, Countywide Elections in the Houston Area

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

To have any shot at restoring faith in local elections the dirty underbelly behind “ABSENTEE BALLOT HARVESTING” and other election-related crimes must be exposed and dismantled. That being said, truth be told, most of the fraud I’ve uncovered over the last 30 years or so, has been perpetrated by “BLACK PEOPLE” doing the bidding for themselves, and other members of their tribe.

There are about five “BLACK POLITICAL TRIBES” that are currently operating in Harris County, Texas. And Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson is a member of “TRIBE A” from what I’ve discovered. So, what I’ve done expose “TRIBE A” in the upcoming Tuesday, November 7, 2023, Houston City Council District B race is I’ve personally asked Darlene “Koffey” Smith to run against Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson.

Why has Darlene “Koffey” Smith been asked to run against Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson? Well, Councilwoman Jackson stole the Houston City Council District B seat from a woman named Cynthia Bailey, back on Saturday, December 12, 2020, by illegally appearing on the ballot. So, in essence, Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson is an illegitimate Councilwoman, who has been “ILLEGALLY OCCUPYING” the Houston City Council District B seat since she claimed it back on December 12, 2020, in a bogus runoff election where she should have never even been allowed to appear on the ballot.

When something or someone is illegitimate, they're not authorized by the law; or they’ve illegally laid hold of something that was not by accepted standards or rules.

I’m going to get into this a lot more between now and Tuesday, November 7, 2023, but Tarsha Jackson broke the law when she ran for the Houston City Council District B seat. For the record, Section 43.130 of the Texas Local Government Code says, “A resident of an area annexed for limited purposes is not eligible to be a candidate or to be elected to a municipal office.”

How was Tarsha Jackson allowed to steal the Houston City Council District B seat in the first place? Well, what you have to remember is that before running for the Houston City Council District B seat, Tarsha Jackson served as the director for (TOP) The Texas Organizing Project.

While serving as the Harris County director for (TOP), Tarsha Jackson helped many local Democrat politicians rise to power. So, in other words, Tarsha Jackson is responsible for local politicians like Mayor Sylvester Turner, Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee, and Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg, serving their public capacities right now.

By her admission, Tarsha Jackson served on the transition committees for Mayor Sylvester Turner and Kim Ogg, when they won office.

According to TOP’s website, back in 2018, TOP ran the largest program to date, reaching out to more than 900,000 voters in four counties (Harris, Dallas, Bexar, and Fort Bend), and through their efforts, they were able to turn out 465,405 voters, of which 270,474 were new midterm voters.

So, in essence, to make a long story short, what appears to have happened with the Tarsha Jackson situation is that she was allowed to illegally obtain the Houston Council District B. How? Well, what appears to have happened is that the (Democrat) Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg, and (Democrat) Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee turned their heads, and allowed Tarsha Jackson illegally run for the Houston City Council District B seat.

The Texas Organizing Project PAC (TOP PAC) is the political arm of the Texas Organizing Project (TOP). In case you don’t already know, TOP PAC ran the largest voter turnout program in the state in the 2020 general election that specifically targeted infrequent and low-income voters of color according to their website. Get this, after Commissioner Rodney Ellis made a $150,000 donation (which was after he'd already given $100,000 to TOP), what they did was turned right around and gave then gave Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis an in-kind contribution of $4,264.58 a few days later on 1/22/2020. Then on 2/22/2020, (TOP) Texas Organizing Project turned around and donated $121,329.04 to Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis in the form of canvassing and phone banking services. Are you following me? I know that these shenanigans were designed to help Commissioner Ellis win his March 3, 2020, Democratic Party Primary battle against former Judge Maria T. Jackson; but what else was this exchange of monies meant to accomplish? My question is this, "How did that $250,000 donation given to (TOP) Texas Organizing Project play into the Saturday, December 12, 2020, Houston City Council District B runoff election?

Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson has been "ILLEGALLY OCCUPYING" the Houston City Council District B seat since she was allowed to violate the law as local elected officials like Mayor Sylvester Turner, Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee, and Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg turned their heads the other way. You "CLICK HERE" for important deadlines and filing requirements.


If you look back, prior to the Tuesday, November 5, 2019, City of Houston General Election, Commissioner Rodney Ellis donated over $250,000 to TOP -- Texas Organizing Project. In case you don't remember, TOP endorsed Tarsha Jackson in the race for Houston City Council District B. Meanwhile, Commissioner Ellis's chief consultant (Dallas Jones) was busy supporting the eventual third-place finisher, Renee Jefferson Smith. However, after Renee Jefferson Smith didn't make the runoff, Commissioner Rodney Ellis then donated a cool $1,000 to Tarsha Jackson's Campaign.

The Black Community Should Be Asking Local  Blacl Leaders Some Very Serious Questions About the Last District B Runoff Election 

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

In case you don't remember, Tarsha Jackson took money directly from Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis. Nope!!! I'm not making this up! 

Let me break everything down for you. Once Renee Jefferson Smith (the third-place finisher) didn't make it into the runoff, Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis almost immediately seized upon the opportunity to use his power to influence the outcome of the Houston City Council District B runoff race in hopes of putting another one of his cronies on Houston's City Council -- and he succeeded at doing just that with Tarsha Jackson's victory over Cynthia Bailey on Saturday, December 12, 2020, in the Bayou City.

Do you remember me talking openly about the collusion between Rodney Ellis, Dallas Jones, Tarsha Jackson, and Renee Jefferson Smith? Haven't you been paying attention to my reports? Remember back in early December of 2019, when Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis took issue with Harris County Clerk Diane Trautman’s claim that she had no legal option other than to remove the contested Houston City Council District B runoff race between Tarsha Jackson and Cynthia Bailey from the ballot? 

Remember when Diane Trautman (the Harris County Clerk at the time) said, “Due to a legal challenge contesting the outcome of the Houston City Council District B race, the Office of the County Attorney advised me that the District B race could not be on the runoff ballot, per the Texas Election Code.” 

Do you remember when she (Diane Trautman) went before Commissioner's Court and made that bold statement? Now, think back!!! Remember how Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis appeared to be all upset at Diane Trautman (who was still the Harris County Clerk at the time) for pulling the Houston City Council District B race from the runoff ballot? 

Well, did you know that Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis donated $1,000.00 directly to Tarsha Jackson’s campaign back on Thursday, November 14, 2019, and another $1,000.00 directly to Tarsha Jackson's campaign on November 15, 2020 -- a few days prior to the Saturday, December 12, 2020 runoff between Tarsha Jackson and Cynthia Bailey? And what about Lance Gilliam, one of Commissioner Rodney Ellis's wife's partners donating $1,000.00 directly to Tarsha Jackson's campaign back on October 20, 2020 -- did you know about that? 

You see, Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis knows how to get things done in Harris County while putting on the appearance that his hands are clean.

If you look closely at Tarsha Jackson's Campaign finance report from the period of 7/1/2020 through 12/2/2020 what you are going to find is a lot of powerful names. Now, if you take a moment to do your own research into some of the individuals who were donating money to Tarsha Jackson's Campaign you will gain a pretty good understanding of why a whole bunch of people turned a blind eye to the fact that Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson was "INELIGIBLE" to even run for the Houston City Council District B seat. 

Now, I am not going to list all of the people who supported Tarsha Jackson, but I am going to give you a glimpse into a few of the names listed in her report that was received back on 12/4/2020 by the City of Houston. 

Now, remember, during this period, Tarsha Jackson received $39,445.00 in total political contributions and spent $46,330.62 on her campaign. Steve Moore, John Peavy, Gladys House-El, Joanne Witty, Judge Charles Silverman, Jeff Cohen, Brandon Dudley, Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia, David Lee, Amber Mostyn, Houston Federation of Teachers, Mustafa Tameez, Attorney Silva Mintz, Harris County Treasurer Dylan Osborne, Houston Apartment Association, Greenhouse International Church, Bobby P. Singh, United Food and Commercial Workers, and State Rep. Senfronia Thompson. Now you don't have to be politically astute to see that Tarsha Jackson benefited greatly by having Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis in her corner. 

But did you know that when Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson was with (TOP) Texas Organizing Project she assisted Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg in her campaign? Could this be why everyone turned a blind eye to the fact that Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson was not even "ELIGIBLE" to run for the Houston City Council District B seat in the first place? 

ELECTION CODE

Sec. 43.130 of the Texas Local Government Code says, “A resident of an area annexed for limited purposes is not eligible to be a candidate for or to be elected to a municipal office? Remember, (TOP) Texas Organizing Project endorsed Kim Ogg in her initial run for Harris County District Attorney back in 2016, but went against her in 2020, saying that Kim Ogg was not progressive enough.

Democrat Political Consultant Dallas Jones is one of those people you're either going to love or hate. But he is not as effective as some folks believe that he is in Harris County, Texas politics. Who is Dallas Jones? Well, this Dallas Jones dude is nothing more than a puppet for Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis and his cronies.

The District B City Council Race Was Always About Power, Money, and the Influence of Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

In case you don't know, Democratic Political Consultant Dallas Jones bills himself as a "Political Analyst, Nation Builder, and Leadership-Shaper," according to his Facebook page. I’m not too sure if he’s all of that…but I digress. That being said, from what I've gathered about Dallas Jones – he’s a shrewd businessman -- and one of Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis' puppets. So, I would like to take this moment to remind you that there’s nothing wrong with him working for/with multiple candidates in any given election cycle. However, at first glance, it may not be clear what his direct connections were to the Houston City Council District B race way back in 2019 -- but I'm going to do my best to paint a picture to help you clearly see his involvement. So, do me a favor and make yourself a mental note of the fact that Elite Change, Inc. is Dallas Jones’ baby – he owns the company. And who do you think is one of his ‘BIGGEST’ clients? You guessed it – Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis -- that's who!!!

FOLLOW THE MONEY

Back on 2/17/2020, Commissioner Rodney Ellis paid Elite Change, Inc. which is owned by Dallas Jones $2,100.00 as a consulting expenditure according to Commissioner Ellis' campaign finance report.

Back on 2/10/2020, Commissioner Rodney Ellis paid Elite Change, Inc. which is owned by Dallas Jones $1,500.00 to provide campaign field team support. Then on the very same day, Commissioner Rodney Ellis turned around and paid Elite Change, Inc. the amount of $7,000.00 as a consulting expenditure according to Commissioner Ellis' campaign finance report.

Back on 1/14/2020, Commissioner Rodney Ellis paid Elite Change, Inc. which is owned by Dallas Jones another $7,000.00 as a consulting expenditure according to Commissioner Ellis' campaign finance report.


Renee Jefferson Smith is the woman who was running around filing lawsuits when she finished third and didn't make the Houston City Council District B runoff.

Commissioner Rodney Ellis and Democratic Political Consultant Dallas Jones Have their Fingerprints all Over the Houston City Council District B Race

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

Can anybody out there tell me why Dallas Jones went to Renee Jefferson Smith out of the goodness of his heart and donated $10,000.00 worth of his precious time to help her try to win the Tuesday, November 5, 2019, Houston City Council District B race? Is that what we’re supposed to believe happened? Get this, Renee Jefferson Smith out of the goodness of her heart (I guess) paid Elite Change, Inc. -- that's owned by Dallas Jones $9,000.00 out of her campaign account for all of his hard work. Does that make any sense to you? If so, you are “Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs” my friend. Anyways, I guess it’s a coincidence that Commissioner Rodney Ellis paid Elite Exchange, Inc. $17,600.00 for consulting and field support services during pretty much the same time frame. Now, I’m not sure what all of this means, but that’s some creativity right there if you ask me. Doesn't that sound like Dallas Jones was double-dipping in the runup to the Tuesday, November 5, 2019, general election?

Gerry Monroe (far left) filed a formal notice requesting that Harris County Attorney Christian D. Menefee (center), or Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg (far right) file a Quo Warranto Lawsuit in the very important eligibility matter involving Houston City Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson. The document that was filed by Gerry Monroe, served as his formal request for an immediate investigation into the eligibility of Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson, to serve as the District B Councilwoman.

Below is the complaint that Was filed by Gerry Monroe with the Harris County District Attorney and Harris County Attorney

Monday, January 25, 2021 

Kim Ogg 
Harris County District Attorney 
500 Jefferson St Suite #600, Houston, TX 77002 

Christian D. Menifee 
Harris County Attorney 
1019 Congress, 15th Floor, Houston, TX 77002 

Re: Quo Warranto Lawsuit – Council Member District B 

Dear County Officials, 

Kim Ogg, Harris County District Attorney, and Christian D. Menifee, Harris County Attorney for the City of Houston, I am Mr. Gerry Monroe, and this document shall serve as a formal request for an immediate investigation into the eligibility of Ms. Tarsha Jackson, to serve as a representative on City Council for District B. 

This issue stems from the reading of the Texas Local Government Code with the applicable portions being as follows: 


(b) A resident of an area annexed for limited purposes is not eligible to be a candidate for or to be elected to a municipal office. 

It has been determined by Tarsha Jackson’s admittance on her application to run for elected office within the City of Houston, that her address of 922 Sawgrass Ridge Ln, Houston, Texas 77073, which matches her homestead address, is located in an annexed part of the City of Houston. According to the Texas Election Code, her residency status makes her “ineligible” to be run and certainly to be elected to a municipal office, particularly the one where she now sits. 

Further, as a resident of a city’s “limited purpose” jurisdiction, although residents of her area are allowed the privilege to vote in our local elections, they, including Ms. Jackson, do not pay city taxes according to Sec 43 of the Texas Local Government Code, and as indicated with the Harris County Appraisal District. 

Myself, as well as citizens of District B, are concerned that someone who will be in charge of making decisions concerning how our city taxes are being spent, and allocated, should be someone who equally shares that responsibility and as the other council members do. 

My personal concern is how this same scenario can disqualify someone from participating in running for a city council seat and be disqualified from the seat even after her name has been placed on the ballot such as what happened with Michelle Bonton, who was disqualified for the same reasons of living in an annexed area for limited purposes. So why is Tarsha Jackson who is similarly situated now qualified? 

Attorneys, there appears to be a “strong” necessity for a “Quo Warranto” lawsuit to be filed in this matter and should be done so immediately. According to the Texas Civil Practices and Remedies Code at Title 3. Extraordinary Remedies Chapter 66, reads as follows: 

CHAPTER 66. QUO WARRANTO 

Sec. 66.001. GROUNDS. An action in the nature of quo warranto is available if: 

(1) a person usurps, intrudes into, or unlawfully holds or executes a franchise or an office, including an office in a corporation created by the authority of this state; 

(2) a public officer does an act or allows an act that by law causes a forfeiture of his office; 

Sec. 66.002. INITIATION OF SUIT. (a) If grounds for the remedy exist, the attorney general or the county or district attorney of the proper county may petition the district court of the proper county or a district judge if the court is on vacation for leave to file information in the nature of quo warranto. 

(b) The petition must state that the information is sought in the name of the State of Texas. 

(c) The attorney general or county or district attorney may file the petition on his own motion or at the request of an individual relator. 

(d) If there is probable ground for the proceeding, the judge shall grant leave to file the information, order the information to be filed, and order the process to be issued. 

Sec. 66.003. JUDGMENT. If the person against whom the information is filed is found guilty as charged, the court: 

(1) shall enter judgment “ removing” the person from the office or franchise; 

(2) shall enter judgment for the costs of prosecution in favor of the relator; and 

(3) may fine the person for usurping, intruding into, or unlawfully holding and executing the office or franchise. 

I am addressing this letter directly to you as the statute “clearly” states that either of you has the responsibility to file this suit on behalf of the citizens of this county. If you choose not to do so, you must inform the citizens on why you will not as you are in a position to protect them from such situations. 

To date, there have been articles in the media, Houston Chronicle, Houston Business Connections, etc., putting forth this issue and as of this date, nothing appears to be getting done about it. This notice shall formally place yourselves, as an appropriate party who is in the utmost position to take action to remedy this situation, on notice. If appropriate actions are not taken, letters to the Justice Department shall ensue after the attorney general’s office is apprised of this horrendous matter. 

It is time that the City of Houston politicians behave fairly and just, and stop doing whichever way they please and in disregard its citizens, especially the most vulnerable. 

We are watching this matter very closely and expect swift action. It does not matter how many times this is done only that it is done properly. We are therefore asking that this matter be addressed swiftly and that the process of her removal from this seat if the judge so determined, be done quickly, and expeditiously to minimize further embarrassment to the City of Houston and citizens of District B. 

Thank you for professionally addressing this matter. 

Sincerely, 

GERRY MONROE, ADVOCATE

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

I’m thankful to God for His goodness, mercy, and grace today! In case you don’t know, I wasn’t born into the greatest of situations. However, throughout it all, I’ve persevered through every challenge, and can proudly say that I’ve cleared every obstacle that’s been placed in front of me, with God’s help.

As I look back over the last election season, it pleases me greatly to inform you that my “2022 MIDTERM ENDORSEMENT CARD” outperformed every other non-partisan card in the entire state of Texas. And just for the record, three out of the four awesome “GOP JUDICIAL CANDIDATES” who won their races in Harris County, Texas were all endorsed on my “2022 MIDTERM ENDORSEMENT CARD” on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, in Harris County, Texas.

PRESSING FORWARD

As I prepare to press forward into the “2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION CYCLE” I would like to inform everyone that my courage is unwavering. And just so you know, my commitment to “PUTTING PEOPLE OVER POLITICS” has grown stronger, and more tenacious. That being said, “MY WAR ON CORRUPTION” in Harris County, Texas will continue, as God’s plan for my life continues to unfold.

"GAME-CHANGER."


Judge Sandra Peake (Democrat), was a bonified, seasoned attorney before she ever ran for a judicial position. That being said, she also ran for local judicial positions several times before winning. If you ask me, Judge Sandra J. Peake is the embodiment of what it means never give up. And on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, I am proud to say that I endorsed Judge Sandra Peake, as I've always done, and she won her bid for re-election, over Leonel Leo Farias, II, by a wide margin. Comparatively speaking, Judge Sandra received 548,215 votes, for 51.90% of the vote, and her opponent, Leonel Leo Farias II, only received 507,991 votes, for 48.10% of the vote.

"GAME-CHANGER."


Paula Goodhart (Republican), was endorsed by me over Judge Ronnisha Bowman (Democrat), in the race for Judge, County Criminal Court at Law No. 2, in Harris County, Texas, and she emerged victorious by a slim margin of 4,889 votes with 1,058,707 votes cast in their race.

"GAME-CHANGER."


Leslie Johnson (Republican), was endorsed by me over Porscha Natasha Brown (Democrat), in the race for Judge, County Criminal Court at Law No. 3, in Harris County, Texas, and she emerged victorious by a very slim margin of 267 votes with 1,059,382 votes cast in their race.

"GAME-CHANGER."


Jessica N. Padilla (Republican), was endorsed by me over Je’Rell A. Rogers (Democrat), in the race for Judge, County Criminal Court at Law No. 14, in Harris County, Texas, and she emerged victorious by a slim margin of 14,290 votes with 1,053 votes cast in their race.
