2018 Primary Election Information Featuring Wendy Bould Wright, Governor Greg Abbott, Judge Loyd Wright, Other Distinguished Republican and Democratic Harris County Leaders You Should Get to Know 

REPORT by AUBREY R. TAYLOR

Yes, it’s that time again. And the first day to file for a place on the 2018 Democratic or Republican Primary ballot for precinct chair candidates in Texas is Tuesday, September 12, 2017. For those of you who plan to run for Judge, U.S. Congress, U.S. Senate, Governor, State Representative, State Senator, Justice of the Peace, or another office during the 2018 MIDTERM ELECTION CYCLE the first day you can officially file your intent for a place on the ballot is Saturday, November 11, 2017. So, if you plan on winning a Democratic (nomination) or Republican (nomination) your intent must be filed by Monday, December 11, 2017 at 6:00 PM to have your name placed on the MARCH 2018 PRIMARY BALLOT in the State of Texas.

KEY PRIMARY INFORMATION 

Make no mistake about it, putting a strong slate of potential nominees together for the 2018 MIDTERM ELECTION will be crucial for the party that expects to claim victory on Tuesday, November 6, 2018 in Harris County, Texas. So don't forget that we saw a Republican sweep back in THE 2014 MIDTERM ELECTION and a Democratic sweep back in THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION in Harris County. So, 2018 should be very competitive and interesting in Texas – especially since this is the last election when “STRAIGHT-TICKET VOTING” will be allowed in Texas thanks to HB25 which goes into effect on Tuesday, September 1, 2020. In case you haven't heard, back on June 1, 2017, Governor Greg Abbott signed into law House Bill 25, which eliminates the straight-ticket voting option in Texas for all races beginning in 2020.

SELECTING THE BEST DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN NOMINEES ON TUESDAY, MARCH 6, 2018 IS IMPERATIVE FOR BOTH MAJOR POLITICAL PARTIES


FEATURED 2018 PRIMARY JUDICIAL RACE: Judge Judy Warne (Republican) will not be running for re-election in 2018 in the race for District Judge, 257th District Court. However, Melanie Flowers a well-known Republican leader will be running for District Judge, 257th District Court in the Tuesday, March 6, 2018 Republican Primary in Harris County, Texas. But Flowers won't be alone, former Republican Judge Alyssa Lemkuil (507th District Court) will also be making a bid for this bench. ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE: A very well-known Democratic leader by the name of Sandra Peake will be running for District Judge, 257th District Court in the Tuesday, March 6, 2018 Democratic Primary in Harris County. However, we are unsure at this time if Sandra Peake will have a Democratic opponent in the Tuesday, March 6, 2018 Democratic Primary. But don't forget that Houston Business Connections Magazine© will be publishing a "2018 DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY SLATE" and a "2018 REPUBLICAN PRIMARY SLATE" for the upcoming primaries. So, in the mean time, here are a few of the "DISTINGUISHED HARRIS COUNTY LEADERS" you should get to know in the coming months!

GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT WILL BE THE MAN TO BEAT ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2018 IN THE STATE OF TEXAS


GREG ABBOTT -- GOVERNOR OF TEXAS

Our primaries in Texas (in general) and Harris County (in particular) will for the most part be about two people – Governor Greg Abbott, and whomever the Texas Democratic Party can convince to challenge him. However, after the beating Gov. Abbott put on his last Democratic rival, former state senator Wendy R. Davis back in 2014, no big names have officially stepped up to the plate to challenge him as of yet. Oh, I forgot, the Democrats do have Jeffrey Payne, the owner of a gay bar in Dallas, Texas. Payne has publicly stated that he plans to challenge Gov. Abbott in 2018. And according to published reports, he plans to loan his campaign at least $2 million dollars to help his cause. But he’ll need a lot more than that to win in Texas. Anyways, in case you’ve forgotten, Gov. Greg Abbott received 2,796,547 votes for 59.27% of the vote back on Tuesday, November 4, 2014 statewide in Texas. The Democratic nominee, Wendy R. Davis received 1,835,596 votes for 38.90% of the statewide vote. To round out the 2014 MIDTERM ELECTION field of gubernatorial candidates Kathie Glass (Libertarian) received 66,543 for 1.41%; Brandon Parmer a member of the Green Party received 18,520 for 0.39%; and Sarah M. Pavitt a write-in candidate received 1,062 for 0.02% of the statewide vote in Texas.

REPORT by AUBREY R. TAYLOR

In case you haven’t heard, Houston Business Connections Magazine© has assigned a “STRATEGIC VOTER POWER RANKING NUMBER” to (56) fifty-six candidates whose names appeared on the Tuesday, November 8, 2016 “GENERAL PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION” ballot in selected countywide races in Harris County, Texas. What does this SVPR# actually mean? Well, the SVPR# will help us to better advise our new clients as to who they should run against in the Tuesday, November 3, 2020 “GENERAL PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION” in Harris County, Texas. The SVPR# also shows us where some of our existing clients stand with regards to “NON-STRAIGHT TICKET VOTERS” in Harris County. So, when coupled with other factors, the SVPR# gives us a unique way to gauge which potential Harris County candidates may have trouble winning their re-election bids without some serious branding and marketing assistance outside of their political party’s coordinated campaign in "2020" when HB25 becomes the law of the land in the Lone Star State. And finally, the SVPR# gives us a pretty good indication of which potential candidates (and incumbents) would be tough-to-beat without “THE STRAIGHT-TICKET VOTING OPTION” being a factor.

Houston Business Connections Magazine© Readers are Encouraged to Always Vote Strategically

So, who are “STRATEGIC VOTERS” in Harris County, Texas? Well, based on research by Aubrey R. Taylor Communications, the publisher of Houston Business Connections Magazine© “STRATEGIC VOTERS” in Harris County, Texas are: (1) Voters who do not vote a “STRAIGHT-TICKET” on Election Day. (2) Voters who always “DO THEIR HOMEWORK” before going to the polls on Election Day. (3) Voters who cast their ballot with a “SPECIFIC PURPOSE” in mind on Election Day. (4) Voters who endeavor to elect the “MOST QUALIFIED CANDIDATES” up and down the ballot on Election Day. (5) And finally, voters who “CLEARLY UNDERSTAND THEIR VOTING POWER” and know how to use it at the ballot box on Election Day. 


How Will "Strategic Voters" Impact 2020 and Beyond in The State of Texas?

What impact are “STRATEGIC VOTERS” going to have on the Tuesday, November 3, 2020 “GENERAL PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION” in Harris County, Texas? Well, a definitive answer to this question is tough to pinpoint at this time. However, what we do know with complete certainty is that the impact our “STRATEGIC VOTERS” are going to have when they go into the voting booth will be the difference between winning and losing for many 2020 Republican and 2020 Democratic candidates up and down the ballot in Harris County, Texas – especially since the signing of House Bill 25 will be in full effect. In case you don’t already know, HB25 will “OFFICIALLY” become law and end the practice of “STRAIGHT TICKET VOTING” in the State of Texas on Tuesday, September 1, 2020. However, as a result, some people believe the passage of HB25 is going to somehow disenfranchise minority voters – BUT THIS DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE THE CASE BASED ON OUR RESEARCH – because all minority voters will have to do to guard against being disenfranchised in 2020 is to simply go into the voting booth and cast their ballot – just like every other registered voter in the State of Texas will have to do for the candidate of their choice! So, the onus will be on each specific candidate along with the help of their own political party to educate, empower, motivate, mobilize and encourage their base to go to the polls and support their nominees.


Who Will "Strategic Voters" Cast Their Ballot for in Harris County, Texas?
