*RACE ANALYSIS BY AUBREY R. TAYLOR
"In the race for District Judge, for the 174th Judicial District Court Hazel B. Jones (Democrat) benefited significantly from the fact that the Harris County Democratic Party won the straight-ticket voting battle by 70,035 votes over the Harris County Republican Party. The Democrats received 471,290 straight-ticket votes countywide, while the Republicans only received 401,255 straight-ticket votes countywide. In the end, the margin of victory for Hazel B. Jones was 54,773 votes. This means that Katherine McDaniel (Republican) made up 15,262 votes with non-straight ticket voters; but the deficit she faced after the straight-ticket voting was just too much for her to overcome," says Aubrey R. Taylor, publisher of Houston Business Connections Newspaper.
AUBREY R. TAYLOR: "Candidates endorsed by Houston Business Connections Newspaper out performed those endorsed by the Houston Chronicle editorial board on Tuesday, November 8, 2016 in the General Election."
