Let's get REAL...By State Rep. Ron Reynolds – House District 27 in Fort Bend County

OPINION by STATE REP. REYNOLDS

1. "She locked up black men!" - Kamala didn't lock up black men. She was a prosecutor in a racist criminal justice system that TARGETS black men /minorities. There's a difference. She did her job and she is no more culpable for incarcerating black men than EVERY SINGLE EMPLOYEE of the criminal justice system. Please find me a prior candidate that isn't guilty of buttressing racist practices to some capacity (Stop & Frisk, Super Predators, Busing, etc...)

2. "She's not qualified." Kamala is more qualified to be VP (and president) than Barack was to be president when he ran initially and more qualified than both the current occupants of the Oval office.

3. "They only picked her because she's a black woman and they are pandering!" Congratulations!! That's called influence!! Get used to being considered if you ever want true representation. Who do you think they've been pandering to for the past 244 years?

4. "She's not black enough." She's blacker than the last 45 VPs and 44/45 last presidents. Also, I'm still waiting for my copy of the "How to be Black and Influence People Yo!" manual that everyone else seems to have received at birth.

5. "Her politics do not align with mine!" Yet you found a way to vote for prior candidates whose politics obliterated your community. If you believe in democracy, her politics are more closely aligned to yours than 45.

6. "This has nothing to do with her being a woman. She's just not the right woman for the job!" The right woman for the job is the woman that is qualified, available and chosen for the job. Also, not acknowledging her gender is akin to "I don't see color."; wholly dismissive.

7. "I just don't like her." You don't know her and she probably doesn't like you either. The only thing you need to like is if she is better for you than the current occupants.

8. "She attacked Joe Biden during the debates and now they’re friends? FOH!" You know Barack's Secretary of State was Hilary Clinton who he ran against in the prior election right?

9. No one above the age of 21 is morally fit to run for office. If you lived in the U.S., you've propped up institutions that are not in your best interest on countless occasions. In other words, NO ONE is in a position to judge moral aptitude, not even the 99 percenters who complained about the 1% on Facebook using their Iphones they ordered on Amazon. #irony

10. "She doesn't inspire me!" Are you voting for a motivational speaker or a politician that will help normalize current conditions?

 "Keeping it real" is not a skill.  It just means you are easily susceptible to your own emotions. Everyone's so eager to tell the world how they really feel but this is not a feeling competition. This is politics. After you're done pretending to like your boss to get that promotion and pretending to like someone to get sex, money or attention, you turn around and decide to "keep it real" because you are ..."honest?" In the illustrious words of Nikki Giovanni, "Lie to Me."

Sidebar; She was not my first choice. Now I'm riding for Kamala. Plain and simple. Until there is equal representation, we don't have the luxury of division so in the illustrious words of Issa Rae "I'm rooting for everybody Black!" Sidebar Complete. #TeamReynolds #ElectionsMatter #DumpTrump

Thoughts from Chris Daniel on Covid-19 and Maintaining Your Voter Registration 

OPINION by CHRIS DANIEL 

In these trying times, we are all experiencing new hardships--including loss of income and even eviction. You still have the right to vote. Covid-19 might have affected you personally or your family, but you will still have a chance to shape the future of Houston and Harris County by voting.

Recently evicted, homeless, etc.? --you have certain rights under the law regarding your right to vote. Those rights are determined by whether you were registered before or after your involuntary change in address.

Registered beforehand? Notify the local voter registrar about your change in status and where you intend to live next. You will receive a new, corrected certificate. You will be able to vote with your new precinct information 30 days after your notice has been received. Meanwhile: You may vote a full ballot with your former precinct information if your registration has not become effective with your new precinct information in time for the current election.

Didn’t get a chance to register? The law is clear that you have the right to register to vote so long as you meet the residency requirements, even if that is a shelter, church, park, etc. The key is to provide a mailing address that you can easily receive mail at in addition to the approximate physical address you maintain your current (hopefully temporary) residency. Your new registration card will have both the approximate physical location and the mailing address where you are sending the card. 

The goal is to maintain your precious right to vote. Some may still find themselves on the voter suspension list. If your registration is in “suspense”, you can still vote. Your voter registration is NOT cancelled. “In order to maintain the accuracy of the voter roll, voters put on suspense who have not provided the voter registrar with a new Harris County address are to be removed from the voter roll in accordance with Sec. 16.032 of the Election Code. The Election Code specifies that a suspended voter is to be removed (purged) from the voter roll on the November 30, of the even year after the voter has been on suspense for two general elections. The voter registrar maintains a list of suspended voters purged from the voter roll.” 

A voter whose status is on suspense is eligible to vote in an election provided that the voter completes a Statement of Residence either when voting by mail or at the polls prior to voting (within the same county as the voter’s current registration) or (if the voter has moved to a new county) completes a Limited Ballot application during Early Voting at the main early voting polling place. A voter on Suspense who has moved within the same county would be allowed to vote on Election Day by returning to the precinct in which the voter previously resided and completing a Statement of Residence at that time. A voter may also complete a Voter Registration Application to update his/her address prior the Registration Cutoff deadline for any election and send the newly updated application to the Voter Registrar in the county in which the voter resides.--Texas Secretary of State

Don’t let Covid-19 deter you from keeping our country free and our democracy safe. See you at the polls!

Jeralynn Manor, a newcomer to politics burst on to the political scene and handily defeated the incumbent, Judge Larry Weiman in the race for District Judge, 80th Civil District Court in Harris County, Texas, back during the March primaries. Manor’s personal wealth and crossover appeal should serve her well when it comes to reaching out to voters beyond her base between now and Tuesday, November 3, 2020. She must defeat veteran attorney Sharon Hemphill, to achieve her dream of becoming a member of the judiciary. In case you haven't heard, GERRY WAYNE MONROE, the self-proclaimed "5 STAR GENERAL" has issued a "DUAL ENDORSEMENT" for Jeralynn Manor and Sharon Hemphill. According to political consultant, Antonio Maldonado, there’s no doubt that Jeralynn Manor is the right choice for Harris County, Texas voters, in the race for District Judge, 80th Civil District Court. “Jeralynn came out of nowhere and she trampled over Judge Larry Weiman and it wasn't easy,” says Antonio Maldonado, reflecting back on how Jeralynn Manor basically man-handled her Democratic rival back on Tuesday, March 3, 2020. However, what a lot of folks don’t realize is that Jeralynn Manor took out an incumbent Democratic judge who was widely considered by many in the political world as the toughest to unseat. And while she made it look easy – it wasn’t as easy as she made it look. According to Maldonado, “She (Jeralynn Manor) has proven that she has what it takes to take out an incumbent, and I feel confident that she can also take out her opponent (Sharon Hemphill) in November,” he went on to say. Why are so many people so high on Jeralynn Manor, a rising star in the Democratic Party? Well, for some folks, it’s her compelling life story -- for others, it’s her courage. But truth be told, I think many people are starting to gravitate to Jeralynn Christen Manor because they see a bit of themselves in her. After all, she’s one step away from reaching her lifelong dream of becoming a judge – and that’s a beautiful thing if you ask me. But nothing has come easy for Jeralynn along the way. She’s had to claw and scrap her way to where she finds herself right now! Yep, believe it or not, she’s much more than a pretty face -- she’s a born fighterand someone with the intestinal fortitude of a lion. A lot of folks don’t know this, but to unseat Judge Larry Weiman, this young progressive had to wage a come-from-behind victory. In case you don’t remember, Judge Weiman, along with his impressive list of endorsements actually had the upper-hand on Jeralynn Manor, after the “ABSENTEE BALLOT,” phase of the voting process back in the 2020 Democratic Party Primary. Judge Weiman, as a refresher had 12,102, absentee ballots, for 50.99% of the vote, and Manor, only had 11,634 absentee ballots, for 49.01% of the vote. But his lead didn’t last long, as 53,909 Democrats flocked to the polls to cast their vote early for Jeralynn Manor. Comparatively speaking, only 37,042 Democrats voted early for Judge Larry Weiman. So, the trampling that Antonio Maldonado is alluding to came in the final vote tally, as Judge Larry Weiman was left having to figure how a newbie to politics foiled his 2020 bid for re-election. How bad did Jeralynn Manor beat Judge Larry Weiman? Well, the “OFFICIAL CANVASS REPORT” shows that 149,388 Democrats cast their ballot for Jeralynn Manor, to give her an astonishing 60.43% of the overall vote. And as for Judge Larry Weiman, he only managed to receive 97,826 votes, for 39.82% of the vote.



Judge R.K. Sandill is being challenged by Nile Copeland in the race for District Judge, 127th Civil District Court in Harris County, Texas, on Tuesday, November 3, 2020. In case you haven't heard, GERRY WAYNE MONROE, the self-proclaimed "5 STAR GENERAL" has endorsed Judge Nile Copeland. According to political consultant, Antonio Maldonado, he believes that Harris County, Texas voters should cast their vote to re-elect Judge Ravi K. Sandill on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, in the race for District Judge, 127th Civil District Court. “Judge R.K. Sandill has done a wonderful job on the bench representing all the constituents with equality, and as my Mama Always used to say, "If it ain't broke, then don’t fix it,” he says.




Judge Michael Gomez is being challenged by Will Archer in the race for District Judge, 129th Civil District Court in Harris County, Texas, on Tuesday, November 3, 2020. In case you haven't heard, GERRY WAYNE MONROE, the self-proclaimed "5 STAR GENERAL" has endorsed Judge Will Archer. According to political consultant, Antonio Maldonado, Harris County voters should cast their vote for Judge Michael Gomez in the race for District Judge, 129th Civil District Court. “He is always out and about in the community. He is one of the only Hispanic male judges on the bench,” say Maldonado. “Judge Gomez has done an excellent job representing the Hispanic community,” he says. “We are Proud of him!”



Judge Jaclanel McFarland is being challenged by former Judge Sheri Y. Dean in the race for District Judge, 133rd Civil District Court in Harris County, Texas, on Tuesday, November 3, 2020. In case you haven't heard, GERRY WAYNE MONROE, the self-proclaimed "5 STAR GENERAL" has endorsed Sheri Y. Dean. According to political consultant, Antonio Maldonado believes that Judge Jaclanel McFarland should be re-elected in the race for District Judge, 133rd Civil District Court. “If it ant broke don't mess with it. She (Judge McFarland) has done a good job, and I say leave her right where she is,” he says.



Cheryl Elliott Thornton is no stranger to politics, she’s run for office several times before – only to come up short in hotly contested runoff elections. However, Elliott Thornton found lightning in a bottle back on Tuesday, July 14, 2020, when she soundly defeated the embattled incumbent, Judge Alexandra Smoots-Thomas in what was one of the most lopsided contests we’ve seen in Harris County, Texas in recent years. However, her fight to become a member of the judiciary isn’t over just yet. On Tuesday, November 3, 2020, Cheryl Elliott Thornton, must face off against former Judge Michael Landrum on November 3rd in a fight for District Judge, 164th Civil District Court in Harris County, Texas. In case you haven't heard, GERRY WAYNE MONROE, the self-proclaimed "5 STAR GENERAL" has endorsed Cheryl Elliott Thornton. According to political consultant, Antonio Maldonado, he’s not endorsing either of the candidates in the race for District Judge, 164th Civil District Court in Harris County, Texas.



Judge Ursula Hall drew several challengers from within her own party back on Tuesday, March 3, 2020, in the race for District Judge, 165th Civil District Court in Harris County, Texas. While she emerged triumphantly, she’s not out of the woods just yet. To win her bid for re-election she must now defeat veteran attorney Bruce Bain, who has already launched his campaign to convince registered Harris County voters (beyond his base) to cast their ballot for him, regardless of their political party affiliation. And now that straight-ticket voting has been abolished in Texas – expect for Bruce Bain to give Judge Ursula Hall all she can handle on Tuesday, November 3, 2020. And please don’t forget to remind everyone you know to do their research on both these candidates in this hotly-contested judicial race and cast their vote for the “BEST-QUALIFIED CANDIDATE” who values, respects, and appreciate their support. In case you haven't heard, GERRY WAYNE MONROE, the self-proclaimed "5 STAR GENERAL" has issued a "DUAL ENDORSEMENT" for Judge Ursula Hall and Bruce Bain. According to political consultant, Antonio Maldonado, he believes that Judge Ursula A. Hall should be re-elected in the race for District Judge, 165th Civil District Court. “Ursula has proven that she is a fighter for her people and the constituents of Harris County,” said Maldonado. “She took out incumbent Judge Josefina Rendon back in 2016, and she crushed her Democratic challenger Megan Diac, back in March 2020 and she won't stop there,” according to Maldonado. “Judge Ursula Hall has proven twice over that she is a fighter, and that she has what it takes to knock out the competition -- both in her own party primary and in the general election,” he went on to say. “It is a privilege to know her (Judge Ursula Hall) and to endorse her,” he says.



Judge Elaine Palmer has never lost a race in her political career since taking the bench as the presiding judge for the 215th Civil District Court in Harris County, Texas. She has faced challenges from within her own party in the past. However, nobody has come close to beating her yet. Judge Palmer has withstood negative articles in the daily newspaper, and attack ads run against her on radio and television stations. However, through it all, she maintained the judicial temperament, grace, and poise all members of the judiciary should posses. And above all of that, she’s done an excellent job for the people of Texas. However, to remain on the bench Judge Palmer must hold off veteran attorney Fred Shuchart, who has his sights set on foiling her bid for re-election on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, in Harris County, Texas. Smart money will be on Judge Elaine Palmer in this race, but don’t count out Shuchart. In case you haven't heard, GERRY WAYNE MONROE, the self-proclaimed "5 STAR GENERAL" has issued a "DUAL ENDORSEMENT" for Judge Elaine Palmer and Fred Shuchart. According to political consultant, Antonio Maldonado, he believes that Judge Elaine Palmer should be re-elected in the race for District Judge, 215th Civil District Court. “What can I say about Judge Palmer, she has been an exemplary role model for all of the new young Black American judges on the bench,” says Antonio Maldonado.  



Dawn Deshea Rogers is perhaps one of the most passionate and outspoken judicial candidates on the entire Tuesday, November 3, 2020, general election ballot. She has the courage of a lion; but also has a compassionate side that should serve her well as a member of the judiciary. However, to become a judge, she’ll have to defeat veteran attorney Dan Lemkuil in the race for District Judge, 334th Civil District Court in Harris County, Texas.  In case you haven't heard, GERRY WAYNE MONROE, the self-proclaimed "5 STAR GENERAL" has endorsed Dan Lemkuil. According to political consultant, Antonio Maldonado, he’s not endorsing either of the candidates in the race for District Judge, 339th Criminal District Court in Harris County, Texas.

Natalia “Nata” Cornello and Arlene Hecht are facing off in the race for District Judge 351st Criminal District Court in Harris County, Texas, on Tuesday, November 3, 2020.  In case you haven't heard, GERRY WAYNE MONROE, the self-proclaimed "5 STAR GENERAL" has endorsed Arlene Hecht. According to political consultant, Antonio Maldonado, he believes that Natalia “Nata” Cornello” is the candidate Harris County voters should elect in the race for District Judge, 351st Criminal District Court. “Natalia has proven she has what it takes to make it to the top,” says Maldonado. “She has fought her way through the Democratic Party Primary, and I am confident that she won’t stop there,” he explains. “Nata has charisma, smarts, and personality, and we need more Mexican American, Hispanic judges representing us,” he went on to say. “It is an honor to endorse her for Judge of the 351st Criminal District Court here in Harris County,” said Maldonado.



Judge Julia Maldonado is being challenged by former Judge Alyssa Lemkuil in the race for Presiding Judge, 507th Family District Court in Harris County, Texas on Tuesday, November 3, 2020. In case you haven't heard, GERRY WAYNE MONROE, the self-proclaimed "5 STAR GENERAL" has endorsed former Judge Alyssa Lemkuil. According to political consultant, Antonio Maldonado, he believes that Judge Julia Maldonado (no relation) should be re-elected in the race for Judge, 507th Family District Court in Harris County, Texas. “Judge Julia Maldonado is a Guerrera -- a fighter,” he says. “She has been one of the first and only female Mexican American Chicana Judges of The Family Court to serve on the bench in Harris County,” he went on to say. “She fights for the rights of the children and knows single-handedly what it’s like to be a single mother and put herself through law school,” he explains. “She stands up for the rights of single parents and for the rights of grandparents too,” according to Antonio Maldonado. “She has done a wonderful job of keeping familias together,” he went on to say. And in his opinion, “She has been one of the best Family Court Judges in Harris County!”



Judge Lesley Briones has done a very good job serving the people of Texas since taking over the bench she now holds from former Judge William “Bill” McLeod, who accidentally triggered his own resignation. But he wasn’t done after his gaffe, as he tried to redeem himself and reclaim his position as a member of the judiciary, back on Tuesday, March 3, 2020, but lost in one of the most lopsided contests on the entire primary ballot. Now, to remain on the bench as the Judge for Harris County Civil Court at Law No. 4, Judge Lesley Briones will have to hold off former Judge Clyde Raymond Leuchtag on Tuesday, November 3, 2020 – which won’t be easy. So, please remember to remind all of your family friends, and neighbors who live in Harris County, Texas to scroll down their ballot and vote in this race.  In case you haven't heard, GERRY WAYNE MONROE, the self-proclaimed "5 STAR GENERAL" has endorsed former Judge Clyde Raymond Leuchtag. According to political consultant, Antonio Maldonado, he’s not endorsing either of the candidates in the race for Judge, Harris County Civil Court at Law #4, in the upcoming Presidential Election.



Judge Genesis Draper posses all of the tools needed to serve on a higher court if she chooses to do so in the future. She’s as impressive as they come. I’ve actually visited her courtroom on a number of occasions and find her to be tough – but respectful. She’s stern – but compassionate at the same time. Judge Draper is the real deal folks. She’s one of those special kinds of judges who posse the uncanny ability to be tough on crime, but nurturing at the same time. And nope, you won’t find her running around in cliques, or trying to legislate from the bench either. Nope -- not Judge Draper. Why? Well, this presiding judge for Harris County Criminal Court at Law No. 12has her act together. And if you ever meet Judge Draper you’re going to quickly come to realize that she’s a “GOD-FEARING WOMAN” who does not play any political games from her bench. However, to remain on the bench, Judge Genesis Draper will have to hold off former Judge, Linda Garcia on Tuesday, November 3, 2020. So, please remember to remind all of your family friends, and neighbors who live in Harris County, Texas to scroll down their ballot and vote in this race.  In case you haven't heard, GERRY WAYNE MONROE, the self-proclaimed "5 STAR GENERAL" has endorsed Linda Garcia. According to political consultant, Antonio Maldonado, Judge Genesis Draper is the right choice in the race for Judge, Harris County Criminal Court at Law #12, in the upcoming Presidential Election.



Judge Darrell Jordan, the presiding judge, for Harris County Criminal Court at Law No. 16, will have to hold off former Judge, Bill Harmon to remain on the bench when this pair faces off on Tuesday, November 3, 2020. If Democrats sweep Harris County, expect for Judge Darrell Jordan to win. But if this becomes a tight race, don’t sleep on former judge Bill Harmon. Back in 2016, Judge Darrell Jordan enjoyed a 70, 367, straight-ticket vote advantage over his opponent. However, now that straight-ticket voting has been abolished Judge Jordan will have to do some serious campaigning to hold off his challenger. So, please remember to remind all of your family friends, and neighbors who live in Harris County, Texas to scroll down their ballot and vote in this race.  In case you haven't heard, GERRY WAYNE MONROE, the self-proclaimed "5 STAR GENERAL" has endorsed former Judge Bill Harmon. According to political consultant, Antonio Maldonado, he’s not endorsing either of the candidates in the race for Judge, Harris County Criminal Court at Law No. 16, in the upcoming Presidential Election.



Jerry Wayne Dugat will be seeking to unseat Judge Eric William Carter in the race for Harris County Justice of the Peace, Precinct 1, Place 1, on Tuesday, November 3, 2020. In case you haven't heard, GERRY WAYNE MONROE, the self-proclaimed "5 STAR GENERAL" has endorsed Jerry Wayne Dugat. According to political consultant, Antonio Maldonado, he believes that Judge Eric William Carter is the best choice in the race for Judge, Harris County Justice of the Peace, Precinct 1, Place 1. “Eric William Carter is a great judge and he leads by example,” says Antonio Maldonado. “He is fair and open-minded,” Maldonado went on to say. “If it ant broke, then don't fix it,” he proclaims.



Judge Russ Ridgway could have his hands full trying to hold off Israel Garcia in the race for Harris County Justice of the Peace, Precinct 5, Place 1, on Tuesday, November 3, 2020. Why? Well, for starters, Judge Ridgway trailed his Republican rival Mike Wolfe by a hefty margin back in the Tuesday, March 3, 2020, Republican Primary and was forced to a runoff election that he eventually won; but showed many vulnerabilities in the process of winning his party’s nomination. If you look at the sheer vastness of the Harris County Justice of the Peace Precinct 5, Place 1, it will become evidently clear that a candidate like Israel Garcia can run strong across the entire precinct. Some political pundits believe that Precinct 5, Place 1, is a Republican stronghold but I beg to differ. Why? Well, first off, there were 613,677, registered voters living in this precinct back on Tuesday, March 3, 2020. However, only 14,947, of those registered voters went to the polls and cast their ballot for Judge Russ Ridgway, in his bid for re-election. So, I strongly encourage you to keep a close eye on this race as the 2020 election cycle continues to unfold. And in case you don’t know, Israel is from Austin, Texas where he was born and raised and attended public schools according to his website. He is a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin where he earned a B.A. in Government. He earned his Juris Doctorate from the famed, Thurgood Marshall School of Law in Houston, Texas. So please remember to remind all of your family, friends, and neighbors who live in Harris County, Texas to scroll down their ballot and vote in this race.  In case you haven't heard, GERRY WAYNE MONROE, the self-proclaimed "5 STAR GENERAL" has endorsed Judge Russ Ridgway. According to political consultant, Antonio Maldonado, he believes that Israel Gracia is the right choice in the race for Harris County Justice of the Peace for Precinct 5, Place 1. “We need more Hispanics to step up and that’s what he has done,” says Antonio Maldonad, speaking of Israel Garcia.
