The Timing Around What's Happening to Harris County Constable Alan Rosen Seems a Little Strange


“Do you see that guy in the law enforcement uniform above? Well, that guy is a Democratic Constable by the name Alan Rosen, right here in Harris County, Texas. I’ve always felt like Constable Alan Rosen would make a great Harris County Sheriff one day, if he was given the opportunity. And when Democrat Sheriff Ed Gonzalez announced that he was going to be leaving his post, to lead the (ICE) U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the first guy who came to my mind as a logical replacement was Constable Alan Rosen. So, I sat back and waited, and waited, and waited, for Harris County Commissioner’s Court to announce Constable Alan Rosen, as their choice to replace Sheriff Ed Gonzalez – but the announcement never happened. Why? Well, let me just say, a lot of stuff started happening really fast. Now, that being said, we have to slow down a little when we see someone getting castigated in the local media. But please understand that I'm not against the mainstream media. Hell, at one time, we could actually trust and depend on what we heard on the nightly news. However, with the 24-hour news cycle we’re living in these days – rather than getting news, in many cases what we’re getting is opinions, propaganda, narrative pushing, and hitjobs. Hell, I’ve even been accused of doing hit jobs – which I vehemently deny ever doing.”

AUBREY R. TAYLOR: "Businesswoman Georgia D. Provost recently shared a text message with me in response to whether Constable Alan Rosen would make a good Sheriff. Her text message to me read, "I think Alan Rosen would make an excellent Sheriff." 


Constable Alan Rosen Isn't Guilty of Anything Unless He's Proven Guilty in a Court of Law

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

I’ve been working in the news industry for more than 30 years. So, I should have a unique ability to see and recognize when someone isn’t getting a fair shake -- right?. And can also quickly spot, and detect, when someone is doing a hit job on a public figure. Now, with that said, please take a moment and go read Proverbs 18:17 in the Holy Bible, there’s a passage of scripture there, that you need to see. Better yet, I’ll share it right here, “The first one to plead his cause seems right,” the passage reads. And that’s very true. But the passage doesn’t stop there, it goes on to say, “Until his neighbor cometh and examines him.” Isn’t that so true? Man, in this age of social media, anyone can go out and say anything about a person and have their false statement of the facts go viral in seconds. Are you hearing me? I just said the entire life work of a person can be destroyed in seconds these days.


AUBREY R. TAYLOR: "Constable Alan Rosen is seen in the photo above praying with several faith-based, and community leaders. While researching for this report, I ran across information about his  Equity Driven community pieces of training that are primarily focused on Black Churches and active shooter training, Teen Dating Violence, Safety in Schools."


AUBREY R. TAYLOR: "Yes, that's Paul Wall, in the above photo with Constable Alan Rosen, the Harris County Constable for Precinct #1. Now, I don't think anyone will dispute the fact that Constable Alan Rosen, over the years, has been one of the strongest supporters of issues near, and dear to the Black community. That being said, in my opinion, Constable Alan Rosen actually cares about our young people and our entire community."

MEET CONSTABLE ALAN ROSEN

I recently had a confidential conversation with a very close friend of mine in my attempt to better understand hitjobs and get a better sense of where Harris County, Texas is headed, “If you want to see a political hit in motion, look no further than the office of Harris County Precinct 1 Constable Alan Rosen,” said my friend. “Somebody must have known they had to come big to upset his likely appointment to County Sheriff, given his popularity with the people.”

As I listened, everything my friend said, starting to make sense to me. All I could think about was the timing of it all. My friend went on to say, “It took getting him branded and tried by the lemmings in the press as the Bachelor Party Constable to try to overcome his stellar reputation.” I had to stop and think about that as my friend continued, “Who’s afraid he might integrate the Sheriff’s office as he has the Constable’s office where people of color have been made people in charge on his watch,” my friend asked. “People who know him well are shaking their heads at the disconnect between the salacious picture being painted and the person they know for building working relationships in this town’s many diverse communities.”

“If their desperate assassination attack on his well-known character is successful, will we witness the simultaneous death of his innovative programs to forge understanding between officers and young men who by necessity have been taught a healthy fear of law enforcement?”

“What a loss it will be if his signature back-to-school community partnership events in low-income neighborhoods can no longer deliver immunizations, well-woman care, school supplies, and the popular youth-officer basketball games where trust is built and education outcomes supported among those who stand to benefit most,” my friend explained. “Whoso doesn’t want law and a new order of community policing that they’d go to these lengths,” my friend asked. And to tell, you the truth, I really didn’t have an answer to any of the questions that were posed to me by my longtime friend. However, I do know, that I’m beginning to look at the whole situation that’s swirling around Harris County Constable Alan Rosen, from a totally different perspective. Especially after doing a little research of my own, into some of his innovative programs. So, dog-ear the page on this chapter, folks. Something tells me there’s more to this “party” story.



1. Building Bridges Program with hundreds of children from the community playing against officers in order to build relationships while providing wrap-around resources i.e. school supplies (partner with Target), Haircuts (partnering with Franklin Beauty School), College Fair partnering with Universities, and colleges like Prairie View A&M, TSU, UH, UT, HCC, and more.

2. Grassroots Constable Program that mirrors contract programs to decrease inequities in policing yet increase the communities’ desire the sensitive policing in areas such as Acres Homes, Kashmere Gardens, Fourth Ward, Independence Heights, and more.

3. “Meet the Citizen.” A Policy implemented a program to further enhance positive interactions with all citizens in his precinct.

4. Equity Driven community trainings focusing on Black Churches and active shooter training, Teen Dating Violence, Safety in Schools, and more.



5. Gun Lock safety as too many of our children are getting their hands on guns and Constable Alan Rosen hopes to decrease the senseless gun violence by always providing Gun Locks.

6. Recently got a grant for Community Oriented Policing.


Take a Quick Glance at the Biography of Harris County Precinct #1 Constable Alan Rosen

According to his website, Constable Alan Rosen’s law enforcement knowledge, ethics, business experience, training, and education help him manage and lead the Harris County Precinct One Constable’s Office to further success and growth.

First elected in 2012 and re-elected in 2016, Constable Rosen has spent more than 29 years in local law enforcement at the Constable’s Office and the Harris County Sheriff’s Office. He has worked in the Patrol Unit, Marine Patrol Unit, Warrants, Narcotics, and Mental Health.

Constable Rosen has saved taxpayer money every year in office by bringing a business approach to managing the budget. During his first year in office, he created the first Precinct One Special Response Group (“SRG”), the S.W.A.T. – Certified Tactical Response Team, and the Game Room and Human Trafficking Task Force. As a leader in emerging technology, Constable Rosen led Precinct One to become the first Harris County law enforcement agency to deploy body cameras for deputies. One of his first official acts as Constable was to ensure that all personnel received mandatory ethics training. Rosen was the first constable in Harris County to assign an employee to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s Anti-drug Task Force.

Constable Rosen has initiated groundbreaking and unique collaborations between law enforcement and the community. We organize and implement a Teen Leadership Summit to help bridge the gap between law enforcement and local youth. Weekly, we host a “Been There, Done That” program which focuses on restorative justice for people affected by human trafficking and prostitution. Precinct One brings a unique approach to fighting human trafficking by offering social service wrap-around services for the women and girls who are victimized. We work with local non-profits to help coordinate a reunification with the victims and their families. Our employees offer support to the victims throughout the course of court proceedings. Additionally, we hold seminars to help parents, educators and others more readily recognize signs of human trafficking.

Under Constable Rosen’s leadership, the Precinct One Constable’s Office was three times awarded the Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) Outstanding Law Enforcement Agency of the Year and was also recognized as the National Night Out Rookie Agency of the Year. Additionally, during Hurricane Harvey, Harris County leaders tapped Constable Rosen to manage the security for the entire NRG shelter for all residents of Harris County.

Constable Rosen established the first homeless outreach team for the department. He believes deeply in being a social service law enforcement agency that routinely aids the homeless and opens warming centers for them during cold weather events.

The constable was awarded the Presidential Volunteerism Award for 2009, 2010, and 2011. He is the recipient of the Greater Heights Chamber of Commerce’s Government Advocate of the Year award for 2013. He is proud to have received the Acres Home Chamber of Business and Economic Development Inc.’s Empowerment Award in Community Politics for 2014. He is the recipient of the Chauncy Glover Project’s Heart of Houston Award and the Crime Stoppers Johnny Klevenhagen Award. In November of 2017, Constable Alan Rosen also was chosen as “Elected Official of the Year” by the LGBT community and its F.A.C.E. Awards which honor First Achievers in Community Excellence. In 2018 he was the proud recipient of The Latino Learning Center’s Humanitarian Award and was recognized by “K9s 4 COPs” as a Public Service Honoree with the “Texas Strong Award”.

Constable Rosen is a former co-chair of the Harris County Criminal Justice Coordination Council, which is responsible for reforming the Criminal Justice System in Harris County. He served or is serving on multiple local civic boards and committees, including MD Anderson Cancer Center Advance Team board of directors, the Greater Houston Visitors and Convention Bureau board of directors, the Houston Police Department – Citizen Review Committee, the Beth Yeshurun Day School Board of Directors (development chair), Beth Yeshurun Synagogue (security committee) and the Greater Heights Area Chamber of Commerce board of directors. He also serves on the Seven Acres Jewish Geriatric Home board of directors and currently co-chairs the Harris County Law Enforcement Technology Committee.

He is a Senior Fellow of the American Leadership Forum, a Life Member of the 100 Club of Houston, and a Life Member of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.

Constable Rosen earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice from UH-Downtown, graduating with honors. He is deeply committed to keeping families safe, aggressively addressing crime issues, and improving the quality of life for all residents of Precinct One. He and his wife and children are proud residents of the precinct.

AUBREY R. TAYLOR: “Hey, don't forget to check out my girl Attorney Nyanza Moore's new radio show every Thursday from 10:00am to 12:00pm on 953 Jamz.com - Houston’s first Digital Radio Station as well as Houston’s #1 Digital Radio Station. 


AUBREY R. TAYLOR: "For those of you who don't know, this photo of Demetria Smith, a local businesswoman and political activist, and myself sitting on a couch was taken at the state capital in Austin, Texas after the hearing on HB-6. Now, this powerful photo has a whole lot of crooked politicians, and their cohorts like Carroll G. Robinson and Dr. Candice Matthews with the Texas Coalition of Black Democrats shaking in their boots. And it also has LGBTQ community activists and homosexual Democratic Party operatives like John F. Miller, viciously attacking me. However, I plan to remain steadfast, unafraid, and vigilant as I fight to protect my "CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED RIGHTS" to freely speak my mind, and freely publish my truth without fear or favor to any man, woman, or homosexual.

Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar Discusses What Freedom Means to Him

COMPTROLLER GLENN HEGAR: “Freedom is anyone’s opportunity to achieve their goals without fear of an oppressive government standing in their way. It’s the idea that you get to choose how to run your business, what religion to practice, what moral guidelines you want your children to follow, and many other personal decisions that government shouldn’t be regulating. It is about living in a society without over-burdensome and forced government mandates that try to dictate the details of daily life and instead is when an individual is the sole arbiter of their decisions.

In Texas, we have shown that the more liberty, or freedom, you give the people, the more likely they are to achieve success. This is why Texas continues to lead the nation in fastest-growing cities and job growth. As Americans, we are given the privilege to follow our dreams and are allowed to do so without fear of an oppressive government holding us back.”



Former Texas Supreme Court Justice Eva Guzman Stepped Down from Her Bench to Run Against Ken Paxton in the 2022 Republican Party Primary

AUBREY R. TAYLOR: "This is what freedom is all about in my opinion. Anyone who want's to run for office should be able to run without having to kiss the ring of local politicians. "I’m running to be your next Attorney General because it’s time for leaders to show up, stand up, and speak up for what’s right. Simply put, it’s time for justice." I totally agree with former Texas Supreme Court Justice Eva Guzman -- It's indeed time for justice in Texas!


Judge Lucia G. Bates Discusses What Freedom Means to Her

JUDGE LUCIA G. BATES: “Freedom to me means that I can express myself and opinions while exercising diplomacy. Having the freedom to pursue positions that have been historically unheard of and unattainable. Freedom allows me to enhance my creativity and appreciate my uniqueness, unabashed. Freedom also means overcoming obstacles despite lacking what others perceive as absolute, allowing me to continue my daily responsibilities of serving my community while being compassionate and keeping my integrity intact. Freedom allows me to compete with myself and always remembering who paved the way to make my impossibilities possible.”


State Rep. Senfronia Thompson Discusses What Freedom Means to Her

STATE REP. SENFRONIA THOMPSON: “In the United States, freedom is heralded throughout our land because of the liberation from the British, the freedom granted to slaves after the Civil War, and our sovereignty as a nation after various battles. For me, freedom is more than being emancipated on paper. It is about being free in all aspects of life. It is about being free from the control of another.

We know freedom is not free. Many have paid the price for the rights and comforts that we possess today, and we must ensure that the rights we have attained are not eroded.

I want my children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and other families, to grow up without being judged by the color of their skin, who they love or where they grew up. As a state representative, that is why I am so passionate about making laws that protect the lives of all Texans. I want us to celebrate our own expressions of religion without fear of bombings or retaliation because our beliefs may differ from the convictions of others. I want us to be able to express our love, our speech, our thoughts, as well as our votes without suppression.

Ideologically, we are free, but we must continue to fight for the preservation of our freedom.”


Political Analyst Jacquie Baly Craig Discusses What Freedom Means to Her

POLITICAL ANALYST JACQUIE BALY CRAIG: "My parents migrated to America many years ago to give their only child a better life and a chance of achieving the American Dream. As a result, freedom embodies having the opportunity to pursue a great education, pursuing a promising career and becoming an accomplished business owner and entrepreneur. I am blessed to achieve these goals and so much more. But Freedom does not stop there. It also encompasses being a dedicated public servant and giving back to our wonderful community that has given so much to me. I am now a proud mother of two very accomplished young men. Freedom now has new meanings as they follow in my footsteps in public service and help make our community even better than it is today. Creating a positive legacy and promoting good will, our freedom as Americans will continue for many generations to come."

Judge Sandra J. Peake Discusses What Freedom Means to Her

JUDGE SANDRA J. PEAKE: “What does freedom mean to me?  Freedom today looks much different to me than it used to.  Freedom is a feeling of optimism, of the confidence that adversity can be overcome, that the people around you are able to define the dream of freedom for themselves individually, and, to be able to visualize, actualizing those dreams for themselves and their families.  Freedom is reflected in a feeling of hope and empowerment in organizations that I am proud to be a member of as the organizations strive to serve the communities in which we live, raise our families, worship and work in.  It also means that I can experience freedom in seeing progress.  Improvements in our justice system, housing, educational achievements demonstrated by graduations at various levels, scholarship opportunities, employment opportunities, and a more equal playing field while competing for even greater opportunities.  All of these things point to significant progress and greater freedoms for more people and improving the quality of life for all. Visible and steady progress towards these goals means freedom to me."

Judge Michelle Moore Discusses What Freedom Means to her

JUDGE MICHELLE MOORE: “Freedom to me means being your true authentic self. It means to live life on your terms without restrictions or being confined to what others think you should be. Freedom to me means being able to pursue your dreams and make your own life choices without the fear of condemnation.”

 

Jessica K. Swain, a Houston Area Realtor® Discusses What Freedom Means to Her

JESSICA K. SWAIN: “Freedom means, to me, the ability to have CHOICES, Options, and Variety!!! Without freedom we would all be the same and that’s boring!!! Freedom means that I can be unapologetically ME while at the same time appreciating the differences in YOU!! Freedom is not a privilege but a Right that we all should be able to enjoy!! Ultimately, freedom = the ability to experience God’s abundance both mentally and physically of which I feel we All Were born to do!”

Dr. Nissi Hamilton Discusses What Freedom Means to Her

DR. NISSI HAMILTON: "Well, to me freedom means the ability to correct some of life's worse problems to achieve God's perfection. And when God's perfection is achieved, there's nothing more to add and then there's nothing more to take away...FREEDOM -- There's nothing no one else can take away from me!!!"



Mayor Kevin Cole Discusses What Freedom Means to Him

MAYOR KEVIN COLE: “Freedom – I believe freedom is the ability to say or think according to ones’ beliefs without duress. I also believe we all have the free will for our own pursuit of happiness in this world. I have lived my life in a way to be in a position to have freedom of my time, freedom of my thought, freedom to live my faith and long for everyone to do the same.”


Five Star General Discusses What Freedom Means to Him

FIVE STAR GENERAL: “Freedom, generally, is having the ability to act or change without constraint. A person has the freedom to do things that will not, in theory or in practice, be prevented by other forces. Outside of the human realm, freedom generally does not have this political or psychological dimension. Freedom means African Americans not being murdered unjustly by law enforcement. Freedom is a quality education for every person. Freedom is when Black America is paid reparations. When that is done Blacks will enjoy financial Freedom in my opinion.”



HCRP Chairwoman Cindy Seigel Discusses What Freedom and Liberty Means to Her

HCRP CHAIR CINDY SEIGEL: “They are two of the most beautiful words in the dictionary. It means that I have the personal freedom to make decisions on how I am going to live my life. They mean that I and my daughters have the opportunity to make our lives into whatever we want with hard work. However, along with freedom and liberty goes personal responsibility. That means working to ensure that we continue to have freedom and liberty now and for future generations because without America standing for freedom and liberty - where do people go?”


ELECTION INTEGRITY

SB 1 provides $34 million for reimbursements to counties for the purchase of new auditable voting machines and an increase of $1.4 million for the training of county election officials.

HB 574 increases the penalties for conducting fraudulent activity in elections.

HB 1128 specifies which individuals may be lawfully present in a polling places and other areas where election activities are taking place.

HB 1264 helps ensure the integrity of elections by shortening the amount of time in which voter registrars and the secretary of state must be notified of deaths.

HB 2283 prohibits election administrators from accepting large donations from private individuals and organizations for the purposes of administering elections.


Former Mo City Mayor Allen Owen Discusses What Freedom Means to Him

HONORABLE ALLEN OWEN: “It has been said that freedom is a powerful word in and of itself. It can and does mean a lot of different things to different people. In democracy and government, it means having the right to speak, to act, to be independent, and to be yourself. I believe that I was given that freedom by our forefathers and by those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in serving our Country and those still serving today. Freedom comes with sacrifices and is not to be taken lightly. I am fortunate to live in a Country that has freedoms. As we are seeing in today’s times, that is not true for everyone. Freedom to worship, to vote, to hold office, to own a home, get an education, and to live without the fear of persecution is freedom by definition alone. I pray that those freedoms will continue for many years to come and wish that other nations and countries had those same freedoms. Maybe someday they will.”


Dr. Steven F. Hotze has signed on as one of the "TITLE SPONSORS" of the "Proud Americans Celebrating Freedom Together" series in his business capacity. Details of the “TITLE SPONSORSHIP” agreement between Hotze Health & Wellness Center and Aubrey R. Taylor Communications are undisclosed at this time.

Thoughts on Freedom and Liberty

Steven F. Hotze, M.D.

The Bible clearly teaches that “All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23). This means that everyone has chosen to violate God’s standards, as written in the Scriptures, and is enslaved to sin and under God’s righteous judgment. God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to redeem us from the penalty of our sins and to give new life to anyone who would accept Him.

“For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death.” (Romans 8:2)

Biblical Christianity instructs us that in Christ we are free to practice whatever is good, right, honorable, holy and pure. Our liberty in Christ Jesus does not give us license to do as we please. “Live as free people, and do not use your freedom as a covering for evil, but use it as a servant of God.” (1 Peter 2:16)

Atheistic Communism rejects God and His law, and exists in direct opposition to the revealed truth in the Bible. Communism exalts the totalitarian state and its rulers as the final arbiters of right and wrong. Biblical Christianity exalts God as the Sovereign Ruler of the universe. His laws and standards have the ultimate authority on how an individual should conduct himself.

Freedom and liberty for an individual, and for society at large, can only exist as we submit under the Sovereignty of Almighty God. “His Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom, and His dominion rules throughout all generations.” (Psalm 145:13)

Where God’s law is forsaken, there is tyranny. “Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, but those who keep the law strive with them.” (Proverbs 28:4)

Opposition to tyranny is obedience to God. Christians must demonstrate the liberty that they have in Christ by opposing the forces of evil and wickedness that are seeking to destroy both Christianity and our American Constitutional Republic.

Congressman Kevin Brady Discusses What Freedom Means to Him

CONGRESSMAN KEVIN BRADY: “Freedom is everything. But what Freedom will never be is free. Freedom is a precious gift that our veterans and our fallen have secured for us and continue to secure for us.

Being an American is about being free.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Junior said “we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom.” He was so right that “a man can't ride you unless your back is bent.”

As Americans we must always stand proud and tall for freedom and against injustice. We must have faith to take the harder path with the greatest rewards. Being a servant leader will never be the easy path, but it is the most rewarding path.

Serving my constituents and my state in Washington, DC is an honor that I do not take lightly. It’s my duty to preserve freedom for all Americans. As Dr. King said “The time is always right to do what is right.” That time is now.”

Angelique Bartholomew Shares Her Thoughts on Freedom to her

ANGELIQUE BARTHOLOMEW: “As an African American Female being asked what freedom means to me is a challenging question to address. Freedom symbolizes a multitude of things. As a woman, Freedom is the right to choose and control my own destiny, make choices and participate in society on any level without any ceiling. As an African American it means to be able to perform at my greatest potential and not worry that I will be judged or overlooked for my skin color and hair texture before having the chance to prove that I am great!

                Freedom is not personalizing the many misconceptions that strangers or family members may have of who they envision me to be and being sure of who I AM. Being Free is in so many ways to, just be authentically you.

                Freedom is continually breaking chains that have locked away my confidence; breaking my own invisible mental and emotional limitations. Freedom is learning but even more important, unlearning the ways of the world. Being on the receiving end of growth and change. Even Rosa Parks road the back of the Bus before making History. Freedom to Me is making my mark in History.”

Judge Toria J. Finch Discusses What Freedom Means to Her

JUDGE TORIA J FINCH: “Notwithstanding of the fact that the literal meaning of freedom is defined as the state of not being imprisoned or enslaved, when I think of what freedom means to me personally, I immediately think of sacrifices. Freedom never stands alone in my mind, but it is accompanied with thoughts of longsuffering and sacrifices. Since the beginning of time, the freedoms that we at times carelessly possess, whether it is the freedom of physical liberties, the freedom of thought, the freedom of religion, the freedom to love, or the freedom to simply exist in a space and time without inequality or injustice, it all has been achieved at the expense of the many sacrifices of those that came before us, and the many women and men that continue to fight for us on the grand stages of the battlefields of the world and our local communities. Although, easily taken for granted, freedom is something that if we don’t continue to vigorously protect, we stand to lose, because unfortunately freedom is just not free.”

Justice Ken Wise Discusses What Freedom Means to Him

JUSTICE KEN WISE: “Freedom means the ability to achieve whatever you want and live however you want based on your own talent and willingness to work hard. The United States of America was founded on this ideal. Our founders desired a society with a very limited government designed only to protect the nation and foster the commerce that would help everyone succeed. Our founders wanted to avoid a big government, which restricts freedom. Our founders want to avoid oppressive and voluminous laws, which restrict freedom. I pray for a return to the idea that each of us can succeed if we respect each other, work hard and develop our talents.”

Judge Shannon Baldwin Discusses What Freedom Means to Her

JUDGE SHANNON BALDWIN: “Freedom means the ability to have choices without restraint. Typically, I’ve always associated freedom of choice with education. The better education, the better your choices are and the more freedom you achieve. While that is true, I’ve learned that we still have a long way to go to achieve real freedom.

Our society must strive to achieve freedom of ALL of our marginalized communities. We should eliminate homelessness, focus on mental health and wealth should not determine a person’s value. One’s sexual preference or identity should not be life threatening!

Your rights end where the next person’s rights begin!”

State Rep. Mary Ann Perez Discusses What Freedom Means to Her

STATE REP. MARY ANN PEREZ: “Freedom means something different to all of us, but for me—the definition is very clear. Freedom is the ability to adequately provide for my children, having the right to make my own choices, and being entrusted to hold leadership roles within my community. Freedom, to any individual, is a hard-sought goal and the ability to achieve it by whatever means necessary. Freedom is not found without struggle, determination and sacrifice but it is a fight that’s worthy of the journey. Freedom is having the capacity to enrich your community and be involved in the electoral process.”

Judge Nikita Harmon Discusses What Freedom Means to her

JUDGE NIKITA HARMON: “No idea is more fundamental to me as an American and as an individual than freedom. Freedom means the power or right to act, speak, or think freely without governmental hindrance or restraint. It means that you can have your own opinion and that you can share that opinion with other people even if they don’t agree with you.

Freedom does not mean the absence of authority or the right to do whatever one pleased—far from it. However, it entails the privileges enumerated in the Bill of Rights—freedom of speech, the press, assembly, and religion.”

Judge Kevin Patrick Yeary Discusses What Freedom Means to Him

JUDGE KEVIN PATRICK YEARY: “Freedom is the power to act according to one's own judgment. It carries with it the duty to be responsible for one's own actions. It includes the ability to seek one's own path in life, the right to choose the good or the bad, and the ability to prosper or fail. It requires the will to accept consequences, be they good or bad.

Real freedom, understood properly and exercised appropriately, leads people to a sense of gratitude and to a spirit of charity and joy.”

Dr. Carla Brailey Discusses What Freedom Means to Her

DR. CARLA BRAILEY: “Harriet Tubman once said, “Home is where freedom is...” My parents migrated, as a newly married couple, to Houston from a small rural town called Abbeville in Louisiana. They were free to pursue opportunities and they found great opportunities in the form of employment and their first home. In my parent’s home, I remember growing up as a young girl feeling free to develop my intellectual potential and to be expressive with a voice. And when freedom transfers to our intellectual being, it finds our soul and spirit and nurtures peace and passion, love and legacy, heart and happiness, fire and fantasies, vulnerabilities and victories, and dreams and destiny. At the same time, freedom will manifest as a core attribute to develop our moral compass, to seek justice for humanity, and to recognize prejudice and bias.

In the end, it is freedom that advances our potential and guides our journeys. If we do not develop the strengths of freedom, both our minds and our souls are enslaved.”

Judge Bert Richardson Discusses What Freedom Means to Him

JUDGE BERT RICHARDSON: “I was raised in a military family and understand firsthand the sacrifices that others have made so as citizens of this State & Country we enjoy freedoms in many aspects of our lives that others throughout the world do not have. At an early age my uncle (my father’s brother) was killed in a crash of a F-106 USAF fighter jet. Not long after that my father left for Vietnam and flew over 160 missions as a fighter pilot. During that year many of his fellow pilots did not return home from that war. I knew several of the children from those families. My brother recently retired from the USAF and is a veteran of over 300 air missions in the Middle-east conflicts with the Special Ops Squadrons. I have heard many stories of those brave soldiers he protected during his flights. Without such sacrifices throughout our Country’s history, we as American citizens would not enjoy the blessings to worship according to the dictates of our own conscience, or enjoy the many benefits and opportunities offered in our country to better ourselves through education, hard work and to support our families. I have lived overseas for over 10 years and am painfully aware of the fact that others do not have these great opportunities available to them.”

Judge Genesis Draper Discusses What Freedom Means to Her

JUDGE GENESIS DRAPER: “Many of us think of freedom as being free from physical confinement, but true freedom is being free from oppression and having the opportunity to reach your full potential. Our right to assemble, right to vote, right to free speech and right to religion all serve one purpose…to guard against oppression. As we celebrate Juneteenth and the physical freedom it granted, let us also celebrate the power in our voice, our vote and our values. It is the use of these tools that opens the doors of possibility for our children and our children’s children.”

 Judge Kyle Carter Discusses What Freedom Means to Him

JUDGE KYLE CARTER: “We are all endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights, the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Freedom is the ability to exercise those rights. However, this freedom is not something that just happens. Our forefathers made it possible for us to experience the American dream of freedom and we must, as part of our generational duty continue to fight against those who would take our freedoms away and to ensure opportunity exists for all Americans. As President Franklin D. Roosevelt aptly stated "In the truest sense, freedom cannot be bestowed; it must be achieved."

 Diane Trautman Discusses What Free Means to Her

DR. DIANE TRAUTMAN: “Freedom comes in many forms – the ability for each of us to practice our chosen faith, share our differing opinions, and vote for candidates that represent us. Elections are one way we celebrate freedom beyond Independence Day, and I believe each citizen should earnestly exercise that right and responsibility in every election, large or small.”

Judge Angela Graves Harrington Discusses What Freedom Means to Her

JUDGE ANGELA GRAVES HARRINGTON: “Freedom is the absence of mental or physical enslavement. Freedom is the ability to boldly walk into your destiny without being tied to the expectations or doubts of others. Freedom is the realization of one’s full potential and the right to exist in authenticity. Freedom is “an absolute equality of personal rights.” Freedom is, quite simply, being free.”

Judge Beau Miller Discusses What Freedom Means to Him

JUDGE BEAU MILLER: “We have a complicated relationship with freedom in this country, because the Enlightenment values on which we were founded, while progressive at the time, only applied to land-holding men. Women, people of color, of differing cultural and economic backgrounds, of different sexual orientations, and people of diverse faiths all had to fight not just for liberty, but for basic equality. “We, the people,” means everyone.

What freedom means to me is the upholding of laws that advance personal freedoms, and which embrace the joyous diversity we all share.

It is how a person acts that gives their true measure: acting without prejudice, discrimination, or harm, but acting with openness, generosity, and goodness.

As the Transcendentalist Theodor Parker so memorably said, who inspired Martin Luther King, Jr. and I believe his words now more than ever, “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice”. Justice and the law are freedom.”

Judge David C. Newell Discusses What Freedom Means to Him

JUDGE DAVID C. NEWELL: “At the risk of stating the obvious, "freedom" means a lot of different things to different people. People find its meaning in the inspirational words of Martin Luther King, Jr. or maybe even a popular song. But one thing that I have observed about freedom is that people, including myself, do not seem to think specifically about what it means to them on a regular basis.

If you look at the dictionary definition it can mean the quality of being free as in the absence of necessity, coercion, or constraint in choice or action. It certainly means that to me as I often marvel at little things many of us take for granted such as the ability to catch a quick bite to eat at a fast-food restaurant. But I also see it quite often in the big things like the ability to vote for who will be my voice in passing the laws that will govern my daily life.

And that leads me to another definition of freedom, that of a political right. It is a great paradox that our freedoms are based upon our responsibilities as citizens of the United States to participate in the process of self-governance. You can feel that responsibility not only in those little reminders such as a notice for jury duty, but also in the eyes of soldiers returning from foreign soil where they fought to bring freedom to others and preserve it for us at home.

So perhaps that is what freedom means most to me. Those dictionary definitions and real-life examples serve as humbling reminders of how truly blessed I am to live in a country with so much freedom that I rarely have to question my access to it. And they also serve to obligate me to exercise that freedom in a way that preserves that liberty for my family, my friends, and my fellow citizens.”

Constable Herschel Smith Discusses What Freedom Means to Him

CONSTABLE HERSCHEL SMITH: “When I think of freedom, I imagine all the slaves and activists who fought and died for me. Now I have the freedom and right to act and speak as I want without physical hindrance or enslavement. One may ask are we really free though? I would say good question because in order to really be free we have to break chains from the inside by freeing our minds from bondage and be bold enough to take that first step. We have the right to stand up for ourselves and what we believe in. Standing up for ourselves allows our light to shine so that others can imitate that power. As a veteran who served in the U.S. Army, I have seen the good and indifferences in people of all dimensions. I now understand that we are so much more alike than different, but in most cases our circumstances determine the outcome of the choices we make. I am empowered because I have the ability to make choices and face the consequences of my decisions – which is my responsibility. Freedom for me begins from within. So, let’s start there and not allow anyone to take that away from you.”

Councilwoman Martha Castex Tatum Discusses Freedom Means to Her

COUNCILWOMAN MARTHA CASTEX TATUM: “Freedom is a beautiful and powerful word. The meaning of freedom for each person is shaped by their environment and their sphere of influence. My parents encouraged me to never stop learning and to value education and life lessons. I was encouraged to sacrifice and work hard during my early years so I would have a knowledge base leading me to recognize the importance of being free from enslavement of the mind, potential bad jobs, unhealthy relationships, unnecessary debt or anything that threatens your peace and hope. Freedom is also about knowing when to push and pull for yourself and others. It is the limitless thoughts that allow you to live without boundaries while being keenly aware that decisions have consequences. Freedom is my desire to inspire others to limitless thinking and the preservation of being free.

Freedom is a state of mind and we were chosen to be free. In the words of Nelson Mandela, “For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.”

Trustee Danyahel Norris Discusses What Freedom Means to Him

DANYAHEL NORRIS: “The word “freedom” is generally defined as a lack of any restriction. In the social and personal context, it means so much more. In the social context, it means the ability for each person to pursue their dreams and passions, without any hindrances. I believe it’s what the founding fathers had in mind when they included the phrase “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” in the Declaration of Independence. While there are a variety of things that have derailed these plans for many in our society, like slavery, racism, poverty, and a variety of other factors, I believe it is the society we should strive to be. A society which removes any hindrances from citizens as they use their God-given abilities to make this world a better place.

Personally, the word freedom represents even more. It represents a long line of ancestors who came to this country several generations ago. Some willingly, and some in bondage. I think of my 4th great-grandmother, Judy Crocker, who was born a free negro around the same time and same county as Nat Turner. I think of my parents, who were the first generation in their families to go to college. I think of long conversations between myself and my wife, regarding the dreams we are still pursuing. Last, but not least, I think of my children’s dreams and aspirations, as they grow and prepare to make their mark on this world.”

Judge Ramona Franklin Discusses What Freedom Means to Her

JUDGE RAMONA FRANKLIN: “Freedom reminds me of a beautifully handcrafted quilt. Each patch in the quilt symbolizes the uniqueness of one being permitted to live the way a person chooses to live without unlawful restraints. One patch that is crafted in the quilt of freedom stands for one to live in the United States with the opportunity to lawfully speak his or her mind without being censored. Another patch that is crafted in the quilt of freedom is the right of religion. The third patch that is crafted in the quilt of freedom allows a woman the right to make decisions for her own body. The fourth patch that is crafted in the quilt of freedom allows a law-abiding citizen to live anywhere they desire to live. The fifth patch that is crafted in the quilt of freedom is the ability to receive an education. The sixth patch that is crafted in the quilt of freedom is the ability for one to think as one wants without constraints. The last patch that is crafted in the quilt of freedom is the right of choice. Freedom symbolizes the complete handcrafted quilt that has all of its unique and beautiful patches woven together.”

Dr. Cynthia Lenton Gary Discusses Freedom and What it Means to Her

DR. CYNTHIA LENTON GARY: “According to the dictionary, freedom is the act of being free or at liberty instead of being in confinement or under physical restraint. In January of 1941, Franklin D. Roosevelt addressed what freedom means to him during his State of the Union Address. He said that every American has four basic freedoms: freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from want and freedom from fear. However, in my opinion, Nelson Mandela stated it better. He said, “For to be free is not merely to cast off ones’ chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.” Freedom entitles us to quality of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It presents us with opportunities that were non-existent for our ancestors. I can recall being in the fifth grade; my parent, my siblings and I went to visit my uncle in Fort Polk, Louisiana. My sister was a baby at the time, and she needed more milk. We stopped at a store and on the door was a sign that read, “COLOREDS ENTER IN THE BACK”. That sign worried me because in my heart I thought because we were living in America, a country known as the land of the free, the owner of that store should not have been allowed to put that sign up. From that day, I was determined to pursue a field of study that very few African American considered. I received my bachelor’s degree in Chemistry/ Mathematics and worked as a Chemist for many years.

As an African American female, and a citizen of the United States, I was able to receive a quality education that resulted in a bachelors, a masters and a doctorate degree. The lack of confinement and the lack of being restrained by racism and inequality also gave me the opportunity to be the first African American female to service on Missouri City council, the first African American female appointed to Fort Bend Independent School District board of trustees and it gave me the opportunity to service on the board of directors of the Houston Galveston Area Council (H-GAC). I have been blessed with many other opportunities that would not have existed had I not been free. As the mother of sons, I can proudly say that freedom of education and opportunity is why all my sons are college graduates who are working to pursue their dreams to ensure a successful future. I thank GOD for the most important characteristic of our lives and that’s FREEDOM.”

Judge LaShawn A. Williams Shares Her Thoughts on Freedom Means to Her

JUDGE LASHAWN A. WILLIAMS: “I cannot help but think of Freedom in two contexts: one as a free black woman, descendent of slaves; and the other as having freedom of thought and spirit... both essential to who I am and how I live. As a free black woman in what I consider to be the best country in the world, I appreciate what it took to create our system of government, for me to be an elected official now, to love whom I choose, to care for my body as I choose, and to be able to worship the God I serve in the way that I choose. So, I am conscious of protecting all that has been won, lost and yet to be, in the name of freedom in the world. In terms of my freedom of mind and spirit, I try to live my life free from mindsets that restrict or vex my spirit. As we celebrate Independence Day, I do so gratefully and fully appreciating that I am entirely free! We cannot celebrate freedom without Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who said: “Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic…Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.” Therefore, we are free to love, fight for justice and pursue “power correcting everything that stands against love,” and I would add freedom.”

Judge Sedrick T. Walker Discusses What Freedom Means to Him

JUDGE SEDRICK WALKER: “At its core, freedom means the ability to speak your mind and live your life as you see fit. However, in our constantly evolving society, the notion of freedom applies in so many different areas. The pursuit of achieving freedom for everyone is a centuries-old battle that continues today. As a criminal court judge, I deal with the issue of freedom in its most literal sense on a day-to-day basis. As we pause to celebrate our freedoms, I believe it’s important that we reflect on the steps our ancestors took to fight for the liberties we currently enjoy.”

Dr. Pretta VanDible Stallworth Discusses What Freedom Means to Her

DR. PRETTA VANDIBLE STALLWORTH: “Freedom is Catharsis – LIBERATION! The greatest challenge in public service is the freedom and courage to stand up for what is just, fair, and right. As public servants we must have freedom and courage to speak on behalf of the people. A good public servant must be the voice of the people, must address the needs of the populace, and must remain steadfast in the work of community relief.

As a public servant I choose to exercise my blood-bought freedom by engaging in catharsis for my community. I choose courage -- to liberate my people. While I’ve chosen to liberate my people, I’ve come to the full realization that my choice comes at a great price. My chosen path makes me a moving target, a political pariah if you will. However, being a moving target does not matter to me. I believe the work of community relief must be done, and I’m committed to doing it. The needs of the populace must be addressed, and I’m making it my mission to address them.

Choosing the path of public service requires freedom and courage. Freedom and courage bring about catharsis (the process of releasing, and thereby providing relief from, strong repressed emotions) in my opinion. Catharsis is necessary for the education of the community. Education leads to the liberation of the minds of the people.”

Judge Linda Dunson Discusses What Freedom Means to Her

JUDGE LINDA DUNSON: “Freedom means being truly unshackled. Unshackled so that my mind can dream dreams; Unshackled so that opportunity is an open door; Unshackled so that I can embrace humanity in all of its gore; Unshackled so that I am seen instead of looked at; Unshackled so that I am not one of a few; Unshackled so that I can love freely; Unshackled so that I may serve my God without offending; Unshackled so that wealth, health and justice are not kept from me; Unshackled so that "all men are created equal" is a truth instead of an ideal; Unshackled so that the chains are forever shattered to the point that I don't ever even remember being shackled…That's FREEDOM.”

Dr. Rhonda Skillern Jones Discusses What Freedom Means to Her

HCC TRUSTEE RHONDA SKILLERN JONES: “Freedom is POWER. It is a state of mind and body, an individual's mental and physical power to act, speak and think without hindrance, restraint or control. It is our right as Americans granted by the Constitution and protected by our brave sisters and brothers in the military. Freedom means every person regardless of their beliefs, affiliations, physical presentation, affinities and or life station can and must have full self-governing authority over their life and life choices. It is the ability to define ourselves and live in our truth unabashedly and without conforming to prescribed constraints. The goal of freedom is independence and the key is education. America must ensure it lives up to its promise of freedom by ensuring each and every person is afforded the opportunity to exist independently on their own terms and provided the education to do so. My freedom comes from the confidence my parents instilled in me to be unafraid to live my life bold and unafraid. My mother set an example of what it is to exercise your freedom as a black woman in this country. My father raised me with the fortitude to stand up to infractions against my rights. They never stopped reinforcing that education in this country makes the difference in one's ability to experience freedom in its purest form. I live in those principles and pass them down to my own children and those around me. If freedom is to be realized, it must be actively exercised.”

Kathy Blueford Daniels Discusses What Freedom Means to Her

KATHY BLUEFORD DANIELS: “Freedom means not being imprisoned or enslaved -- mentally or physically. To believe that blacks, browns, and LGBTQ+ people receive equality. That everyone is able to achieve prosperity and greatness without hindrance or judgment from others. Freedom means assurance that our black and brown children are provided equal educational opportunities as children attending suburban schools. Freedom means our legal system and the religious beliefs of others does not “continue” to the minimize Constitutional Rights of those based on skin color or economic status. Freedom also means picking up the baton from those who bled and died for future generational opportunities. As a Gold Star aunt, I know freedom is not FREE!”

Community Leader Travis McGee Discusses What Freedom Means

COMMUNITY ACTIVIST TRAVIS MCGEE: “Freedom means a lot of things to a lot of different people, but freedom should mean the same for all people. When I think of freedom I think of affordable housing, livable wages -- innocent until proven guilty. I think of fair, quality, equitable education with options of affordable higher education. I think of a better quality of life for every man, woman, and child regardless of their race, color, or creed without the fear of deportation. Freedom is transparent leadership for “We the People” vs. “Sellout” or dictatorship for everything, but “We the People.” Freedom is the right to be afforded a fair trial in a court of law regardless of one’s economic, geographic or demographic status. Freedom is representation equal to taxation. Freedom is a world without racism, classism or anything else that discriminates and/or causes division among us. Freedom is a judicial system that is for all people vs. continuous injustice for “just us”. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, “Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor it must be demanded by the oppressed.”

Councilman Mike Knox Discusses What Freedom Means to Him

“Give me LIBERTY or Give me Death!” These words are attributed to Patrick Henry from a speech he made to the Second Virginia Convention on March 23, 1775. What was he talking about? Are these words relevant today?

The words Freedom and Liberty are often used interchangeably in conversation, and I will use them interchangeably in this article. Realistically they amount to the same thing. Both mean, in the broadest of terms, the absence of hindrance, restraint, confinement, or repression. Both Liberty and Freedom mean you can do whatever you want to do. Did Patrick Henry mean that Americans should be completely without restraint – I don’t think so.

Our Founding Fathers were avid readers of philosophy, logic, and apologetics. They studied Socrates, Aristotle, John Locke, and of course, the Bible. Many were in the habit of discussing serious issues like Freedom and Liberty as a source of evening entertainment. They came to understand that Freedom and Liberty meant individuals were free to do as they pleased provided; they did not hinder another person’s Freedom or Liberty. To put it in modern language, “your freedom to swing your arm ends where my nose begins.”

These founders of our country recognized that government authority (laws) inevitably leads to the tyranny of the people and places humans in an unnatural state of servitude to the will of the ruling class. They set about inventing a new form of government — not a Democracy, but rather a Republic.

Our founders understood that Democracy was flawed because it depended on the rule of the masses or majority rule. They understood the majority would always favor the larger group over the individual. A Republic, on the other hand, is based on the rule of law designed to protect the freedoms of the individual over the will of the majority. Unless, of course, the Republic was taken over by a despot, tyrant, or king. Their solution was brilliant. A democratically elected governing body, which could be managed by the majority, confined by the law enacted by the people through their elected representatives. The purpose of the whole exercise was to free the individual to have the liberty to pursue their definition of happiness through the exercise of individual free will.

We have all been engaged in this grand experiment for well over two hundred years, and we have not perfected it yet. Some would argue we have steadily yielded our Liberty to gain safety and security, that we are stifling free speech with political correctness and are losing the ability, as a nation, to disagree without being disagreeable. It seems our schools have stopped teaching the classics in favor of the convenient. Perhaps all this is true. However, I like to think these struggles are not new to the United States and that Liberty and Freedom will ultimately prevail.

Freedom and Liberty are, to me, the light at the end of the tunnel. The goal to which we must constantly struggle to achieve.

Americans have died in places near and far attempting to obtain this “Holy Grail” we call Freedom. From the first person killed in the Boston Massacre, Crispus Attucks, to the next person who gives their full measure of devotion in service to this nation and all who have sacrificed in past conflicts so we can continue to seek Freedom, Americans would rather have Liberty than life itself. So, it would appear to me, Patrick Henry’s words in 1775 are as true today as they were then.

I, for one, agree. Give me Liberty or Give me Death!”


For the record, Community Activist Gladys House, on behalf of The Community Development Corporation of Freedmen’s Town, presented Aubrey R. Taylor, the publisher of Houston Business Connections Newspaper©, with “THE COMMUNITY GRASSROOT ADVOCACY AWARD” on Wednesday, June 16, 2021. “Businessman Aubrey Taylor expresses the need to know the political aspects of society,” said Gladys House. “His publication carefully researches the backgrounds of politicians and those seeking elected office to ensure they represent the best interests of the people,” she said.

We Must Allow Information to Flow Freely in These United States of America

“If you ask me, I think many Americans are becoming more and more less free in these United States of America, and something needs to change and change with the quickness. Look, it’s not right for one group of people posses the ability to freely speak their minds on political issues, and another group of people to have their voices suppressed. And when it starts happening to members of the press, like me, it becomes an even greater problem. After all, why do we need a United States Constitution, if we’re not going to abide by it? Everyone reading this message right now enjoys the right to freely speak their minds. However, as the publisher of a bonified newspaper, I am doubly protected!!! I have a right to freely speak my mind, according to the First Amendment of our United States Constitution, but I also have a “FREEDOM OF THE PRESS RIGHT” to publish information that I see fit, so long as it’s true, accurate, and does not infringe up the rights of anyone else. And if I slander, or harm anyone in any shape or form, with my words, the place where that harm to be addressed is inside the courtroom. So, LET FREEDOM RING, all across these United States of America.”

Nominating the Wrong Candidates on "SUPER TUESDAY" Could Have Disastrous Consequences in the November 2022 General Election in Harris County

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

Make no mistake about it, who the people of Harris County, Texas choose to give another term to in 2022 must be about substance, job performance, judicial temperament, competence, and whether or not our members of the judiciary are following the law with their rulings. And that being said, in 2022, it is incumbent upon the voters of Harris County to evaluate the job performance of each and every sitting "ELECTED OFFICIAL" on a case-by-case basis and not as a group based on their political party affiliation, ethnicity, or gender. 

THINKING ABOUT RUNNING?

If you are a candidate planning to run for office in 2022, you have to select the right candidate to run against. And the second most important thing to understand is that you have to select your race early, to avoid ending up in a crowded field of candidates on "SUPER TUESDAY" in Harris County, Texas. So, if you need assistance trying to determine which race to enter, please call (281)788-3033, and I will do my very best to answer any questions you may have.

The “Sisterhood Series” Features 70 Powerful Texas Women You Should Know Who Are Doing Their Own Thing

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

I would like to take this moment to introduce our “SISTERHOOD SERIES” to you. This empowerment movement is being launched to highlight a few powerful Texas women who are doing their own thing in legal, political, and public relations fields throughout the Lone Star State. Now, while this powerful group of women is being brought to you as a corporate body, our “SISTERHOOD SERIES” should not be misconstrued as identity/gender politics in any way, shape, or form. Why? Well, all of the featured women in this series are (in their own unique way) some of the best and brightest women in America. So, recognizing these women as part of our SISTERHOOD SERIES” is our way of applauding each of them for their courage, tenacity, and ability to compete in what has traditionally been a man’s world.

TRUTH OF THE MATTER

If we’re honest with ourselves, we all know that women are still fighting an uphill battle in politics as well as inside boardrooms across America. So, let's not forget – it wasn’t long ago that women were guaranteed the right to vote. In case you don’t know, the 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote was only the beginning of a much longer fight that women are continuing to fight on the campaign trail, in board rooms, and while living their everyday lives.

A VERY UNIQUE BOND

Each segment of our “SISTERHOOD SERIES” will highlight a “FEATURED SPONSOR” on the cover, and sixty-nine sitting incumbent Democratic and Republican members of the judiciary inside. So, as a community of women, each of the sixty-nine women featured as the “BODY OF THE SERIES” are linked together by their common successes in the rough and tumble world of Texas politics. Now, you can bet your bottom dollar, that some of these women will be endorsed by Houston Business Connections Newspaper©, in 2022 and 2024 “ELECTION GUIDES” when they appear on the ballot. However, unfortunately, some of these women will not make the cut. So, please do not forget that the deadline to run for political office in the “2022 MIDTERM ELECTIONS” is on Monday, December 13, 2021, in Texas. And, if you are a woman or man who is planning to run for office in 2022, you must sign up by Monday, December 13, 2021, at 6:00 pm. So, if you are not sure, what position you should run for in the Democratic Party Primary or Republican Party Primary, please call (281)788-3033, and I will try to assist you in any way I can.

MINISTERS OF JUSTICE

Every judge in America takes an oath of office and solemnly swears that they will administer justice without respect to persons and that they will do equal right to the poor and to the rich alike. So, the “MINISTERS OF JUSTICE” you see listed below, have all promised to faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon them under the United States Constitution and the laws that govern us as a free nation when they were elected. And each of them did so before the LORD God Almighty. Now, that being said, nowhere in their promise was their political party affiliation, sorority, socio-economic status, or ethnicity mentioned. So, let’s do our best going forward, to elect the “BEST AND BRIGHTEST” women and men who are committed to handing out even-handed justice to every person who enters their courtroom.
