Precinct Ground Game Highlights and Photos from Friday, August 24, 2018 through the Eyes of Aubrey R. Taylor, Publisher HBC Newspaper



William "Bill" McLeod, LaShawn Williams, Jim Kovach, and Judge George Barnstone are just a few of the hardworking Democrats Houston Business Connections Newspaper© caught up with at the Precinct Ground Game Event held at the Richard & Meg Weekly Community Center located at 8440 Greenhouse Road in Cypress, Texas on last night, Friday, August 24, 2018.

The Precinct Ground Game Event Held at the Richard & Meg Weekley Community Center Was A Huge Success Last Night Says Aubrey R. Taylor, Publisher of Houston Business Connections Newspaper©

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

I decided to take a look-see at what the Democrats were up to on a Friday night last evening. The first person I ran into was Odus Evbagharu, the Communications Coordinator for the Harris County Democratic Party. From what I understand, Odus is also running the “COORDINATED CAMPAIGN” for the Harris County Democrats for the Tuesday, November 6, 2018, Midterm Election.

JUDGE GEORGE BARNSTONE

Once I made it inside the packed Richard & Meg Weekly Community Center located at 8440 Greenhouse Road in Cypress, Texas, I could not help but feel the energy. I’ve been around politics a long time. And I’ve never seen Democrats this enthusiastic about a Midterm Election. Look, like it or not, there’s something very different about 2018. Could it be their year to break through? If you ask Judge Barnstone he sure thinks so! “This is our year,” he said while eating a slice of pizza. In case you don’t know Judge Barnstone, he’s one of the Democratic nominees who have a vested interest in what happens in Harris County, Texas on Tuesday, November 6, 2018. He, Judge Barnstone is facing a major challenge from the same Republican he unseated back in the Tuesday, November 8, 2016, Presidential Election – a former judge by the name of Clyde Raymond Leuchtag -- who according to Judge Barnstone, is a very good friend of his. So, don’t expect for Judge George Barnstone and former Judge Clyde Leuchtag to run negative campaigns against one another. Nope, what you’re going to see in the race for Judge, County Civil Court at Law #1 is a good clean race between two honorable men who just happen to hold different political views.





BILL IS EXPECTING A BLUE WAVE

Next up, I immediately ran into William “Bill” McLeod. I can’t say enough about this guy. To be honest, he’s pretty much considered a living legend in the Harris County Democratic Party these days. Nope, he hasn’t won a campaign as of yet, but he’s hoping that the vision he’s put forth will produce a victory for him and other Democrats up and down the ballot in Harris County, Texas. Can he do it? Well, I’m sure if you ask Sophia Mafrige, the Republican standing in his way, she’s going to say no. But according to Bill, there’s a “BLUE WAVE” heading straight toward Harris County, Texas on Tuesday, November 6, 2018. “We are going to win big-time on Tuesday, November 6, 2018,” says William "Bill" McLeod, the 2018 Democratic nominee in the race for Judge, County Civil Court at Law #4. “We've got something for them this year,” Bill proclaims.

I also ran into several other precinct chairs, activists, volunteers, and 2018 candidates. They didn’t have much time to talk, however, as they were too busy stuffing bags, eating pizza, drinking soda, laughing, and working their butts off. And I’m talking about the good old-fashioned type of sweat-equity work – these guys were really getting after it last night.

WHAT’S ALL THE EXCITEMENT ABOUT?

Well, according to their Facebook page, the sole purpose of this group is to promote KINDNESS among ALL Democrats who are working towards electing Democrats throughout Harris County Texas - up and down the ballot for the betterment of Harris County. So, to this end, the Harris County Democratic Party has adopted the mission of promoting equality, empathy, and social justice for all who live in Harris County Texas. “Promoting equality is paramount,” says William “Bill” McLeod. “We are the party of inclusion…everyone is welcome in our party,” he says.

HARRIS COUNTY STRONG

A FIGHT FOR TERRITORY

Make no mistake about it, Tuesday, November 6, 2018, won't be business as usual as it pertains to Midterm Elections in Harris County, Texas. Nope, we are looking at an election turnout of epic proportions in my opinion -- a serious fight for territory. So whether you are looking to see a  “BLUEWAVE”, flow through Harris County, or hoping for a “REDSTORM” to blow through town, you had best believe that your vote will matter. So, I’m imploring every open-minded Texans to pray for our “PUBLIC SERVANTS” and to “FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT” by becoming more actively engaged, mobilized and involved in the process of electing "DULY-QUALIFIED" candidates who value, respect, and appreciate our vote, prayers, and support at the ballot box. And please, please, please, don't forget that the early voting period will begin on Monday, October 22, 2018, and end on Friday, November 2, 2018.

Judge Jackson is one of the Top Democrats on the 2018 Democratic Statewide Ticket says Aubrey R. Taylor, publisher of Houston Business Connections Magazine©

One of the top statewide Democratic candidates on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, Midterm Election ballot in Texas, Judge Maria T. Jackson should garner votes from non-straight ticket voters from both major political parties, independents and Libertarians too in my opinion. In case you don’t already know, only two Democratic candidates received more statewide votes than Judge Maria T. Jackson back in the Tuesday, March 6, 2018, Democratic Primary. The #1 statewide Democratic vote-getter was Justin Nelson (888,444) who is running for Attorney General. The #2 statewide Democratic vote-getter was Kim Olson (883,575) who is running for Agriculture Commissioner. And our very own Judge Maria T. Jackson (878,581) was the #3 statewide vote-getter back in the Tuesday, March 6, 2018, Democratic Party Primary in Texas. So, if you're out there looking for a candidate who is experienced, fair, and ready to administer blind-fold justice in cases brought before the highest court for criminal appeals in the State of Texas – look no further than Judge Maria T. Jackson on Tuesday, November 6, 2018.

Attorney Shannon Baldwin Believes that You have a right to be treated Fairly and with Respect says Aubrey R. Taylor, publisher of Houston Business Connections Magazine©

Attorney Shannon Baldwin also believes that a judge is the one who is responsible for setting the tone of the entire courtroom and its staff. To this end, she furthermore believes that for true change to occur in our judicial system we must start at the top. And according to her, a good judge ensures that nothing happens in a courtroom that violates anyone's rights but also notes that the Harris County Courthouse has not been known as a good place for defendants.

Judge Michelle Slaughter, Pictured with Lt. Col. Allen West is Expected to Roll to Victory on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, says Aubrey R. Taylor, publisher of Houston Business Connections Magazine©

I'm expecting for Judge Michelle Slaughter to roll to victory over her Libertarian Party challenger on Tuesday, November 6, 2018. After all, she's already faced her toughest challenge, which was to win the Republican nomination. And she did so in good-fashion over two worthy fellow Republicans back in the Tuesday, March 6, 2018, Republican Party Primary. So, as a refresher, Judge Michelle Slaughter received more votes than both her Republican Party Primary opponents combined by garnering 669,949 statewide votes, while Jay Brandon received 389,753 statewide votes, and Dib Waldrip received 208,179 statewide votes respectively. Again, I'm expecting for Judge Michelle Slaughter to handily defeat Mark Ash, her Libertarian challenger. So, if you're out there looking for a constitutional conservative judge and originalist who has presided over thousands of felony criminal cases and well over a hundred felony criminal jury trials ranging from state-jail felonies to capital murder cases you should look no further than Judge Michelle Slaughter2018 Candidate for Judge, Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, Place 8 on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, in the Lone Star State.

According to Scot “dolli” Dollinger, in Texas, even fair-minded Republicans vote for some Democrats and vice versa. So, he wants all his Republican and Democratic friends whom he loves dearly, to know that there’s absolutely no shame in voting a mixed ballot – it’s okay to vote the person, not the party, especially when it comes to judges. Dolli also wants all of you guys to remember, it’s a two-way street, and to be fair to everyone. In case you don’t know, Scot “dolli” Dollinger will be competing against Sharon Hemphill in the race for the 189th Civil District Court in Harris County on Tuesday, November 6, 2018.
