Top 10 Ranking of Democrats Indicates that Turning Texas Blue Without the Black Vote Won’t Happen in the 2022 Midterms 

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS© 

Sure Joseph R. Biden, whom it appears will win the presidency, barring some overturning of the election by courts, performed well in Texas back on Tuesday, November 3, 2020. However, what everyone missed, perhaps by design, is the fact that Judge Staci Williams finished with the highest vote total that any candidate has ever received running statewide in the Lone Star State. And not far behind her was former Judge Elizabeth Frizell. I wonder if being from the Dallas area had anything to do with it? What do they have in the water over there? And get this, Mary “MJ” Hegar only managed to finish in the #7 position when ranked against the performances put up by her fellow Democrats. And that’s after Mary “MJ” Hegar raised $24,024,713, spent $17,212,222, and still has about $6,859,973 in the bank. Can you imagine what would have happened if the “DEMOCRATIC ORGANIZATIONS & LEADERS” who anointed Mary “MJ” Hegar as the chosen candidate to take on Sen. John Cornyn had put that kind of loot behind state Senator Royce West?

So, while the push for the Hispanic/Latino vote is very important as the 2022 Midterms Election cycle gets underway – DON’T GET IT TWISTED!!!

Anyways, here are your “TOP TEN DEMOCRATS” based on the “Unofficial Returns” that have been released by the Texas Secretary of State.

#1 – Joseph R. Biden (Democrat) received 5,211,406 votes running statewide in the Lone Star State back on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, in the general election. In case you don’t know, he finished behind President Donald Trump (Republican) in the Lonestar Star State who finished with 5,860,096 statewide votes. However, the vote has not been certified and declared official just yet. 


#2 – Judge Staci Williams (Democrat) received 4,943,344 votes running statewide in the Lone Star State back on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, in the general election. While she did not win her race and become the first African American woman to serve on the Texas Supreme Court, she did make history by garnering more votes than any other woman of any ethnicity in Texas history. In hindsight, it’s beginning to look more and more like the Texas Democratic Party missed a golden opportunity by not hitching their wagon to Judge Staci Williams (African American) who was running against Texas Supreme Court Justice Jeff Boyd (one of my Republican clients) in the race for Texas Supreme Court, Place 7, and former Judge Elizabeth Davis Frizell who was running against Judge Bert Richardson (one of my Republican clients) in the race for Court of Criminal Appeals, Place 3, back on November 3, 2020. In case you don’t know, Judge Staci Williams, one of the senior-most African American judges in the state of Texas, pretty much used up all of her finances having to fight a tough primary battle against a fellow Democrat, by the name of Brandy Voss – who was highly-favored and supported by many Democratic groups in her quest to defeat Judge Staci Williams. 


#3 – Elizabeth Davis Frizell (Democrat) received 4,923,597 votes running statewide in the Lone Star State back on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, in the general election. She ran against Judge Bert Richardson (Republican) in the race for Judge, Court of Criminal Appeals, Place 3, and lost. *Please note that the results of this race have not been declared official by the Texas Secretary of State yet. 


#4 – Judge Tina Clinton (Democrat) received 4,883,012 votes running statewide in the Lone Star State back on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, in the general election. She ran against Judge Kevin Patrick Yeary (Republican) in the race for Judge, Court of Criminal Appeals, Place 4, and lost. *Please note that the results of this race have not been declared official by the Texas Secretary of State yet. 


#5 – Kathy Cheng (Democrat) received 4,862,837 votes running statewide in the Lone Star State back on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, in the general election. She ran against Justice Jane Bland (Republican) in the race for Justice, Texas Supreme Court, Place 6, and lost. *Please note that the results of this race have not been declared official by the Texas Secretary of State yet. 


#6 – Amy Clark Meachum (Democrat) received 4,852,857 votes running statewide in the Lone Star State back on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, in the general election. She ran against Chief Justice Nathan Hecht (Republican) in the race for Chief Justice, Texas Supreme Court, and lost. *Please note that the results of this race have not been declared official by the Texas Secretary of State yet. 


#7 – Mary “MJ” Hegar (Democrat) received 4,844,433 votes running statewide in the Lone Star State back on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, in the general election. She ran against U.S. Senator John Cornyn in the race for U.S. Senator and didn’t come close to beating him. In fact, to put it bluntly, she got her butt kicked and should have never been the Democratic nominee in the race for the United States Senate in the first place. How can I say this? Well, State Senator Royce West, whom Mary “MJ” Hegar defeated back on July 14, 2020, in my opinion, should have been the Democratic nominee. However, because Mary “MJ” Hegar had a compelling story, and perhaps for a few other reasons, that I don’t care to talk about at this point beat state Senator Royce West (African American) with the support of a bunch of Democratic groups and organizations. And the fact that she was endorsed by the (DSCC) Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee without any consideration of the fact that there were several duly-qualified Black candidates competing for the Democratic nomination was very disappointing and disrespectful. Did you know that according to (opensecrets.com) U.S. Senator John Cornyn raised $30,754,633, spent $29,862,946, and still has $3,803,468 in the bank? And get this, Mary “MJ” Hegar spent too much loot to only finish in the seventh position in terms of the number of votes she received. Hell, just imagine if Judge Staci Williams or former Judge Elizabeth Frizell had received a fraction of the support that Hegar received. How much money did she receive? Well, according to (opensecrets.com) Mary “MJ” Hegar raised $24,024,713, spent $17,212,222, and still has about $6,859,973 in the bank – that’s quite a hall for a candidate to only finish seventh in the ranking when compared to her fellow Democrats. 


#8 – Brandon Birmingham (Democrat) received 4,825,705 votes running statewide in the Lone Star State back on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, in the general election. He ran against Judge David Newell (Republican) in the race for Judge, Court of Criminal Appeals, Place 9, and lost. *Please note that the results of this race have not been declared official by the Texas Secretary of State yet. 


#9 – Gisela D. Triana (Democrat) received 4,786,649 votes running statewide in the Lone Star State back on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, in the general election. He ran against Justice Brett Busby (Republican) in the race for Texas Supreme Court, Place 8, and lost. *Please note that the results of this race have not been declared official by the Texas Secretary of State yet. 


#10 – Chrysta Castañeda (Democrat) received 4,752,743 votes running statewide in the Lone Star State back on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, in the general election. She ran against James “Jim” Wright (Republican) in the race for Texas Rail Road Commissioner and lost. *Please note that the results of this race have not been declared official by the Texas Secretary of State yet. 

SUMMARY REPORT 

It is evidently clear that any shot to turn Texas Blue will only be realized by the Texas Democratic Party and other Democratic organizations hitching their wagons to the campaigns of the right “AFRICAN AMERICAN CANDIDATES” and then putting the “FINANCIAL MUSCLE” behind those particular candidates. Contrary to the narrative and spin that Hispanics/Latinos are the future of the Democratic Party, it is imperative for “DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP” to take a hard look at how Judge Staci Williams and former Judge Elizabeth Frizell ran with very little money back on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, in the general election.

THE BRAINS

I’m the President/CEO of Aubrey R. Taylor Communications, the publisher of Houston Business Connections Newspaper©. In case you don’t know, I have 30-years of experience in marketing, branding, investigative reporting, public relations, opposition research, and political consulting. I’ve assisted in branding Republican and Democratic candidates in statewide elections and local municipalities throughout the State of Texas. Over the years, I’ve also assisted in branding and marketing (through my various publications) such corporations and institutions as Shell Oil, The City of Houston, Texas A&M University, Texas Southern University, Prairie View A&M University, Chevron, Waste Management, Nationwide Insurance, Momentum Jaguar/BMW, Channel 11, Channel 13, State Farm Insurance, and Allstate Insurance to name a few. 

EXPERIENCED REPORTER

I would have you to know that not everyone who has been accused of a crime or enters a guilty plea in connection with a crime is guilty of the crime they're accused of committing. Neither is everyone who goes to trial to fight charges that are leveled against them and get's convicted are guilty. Look, over the years, some very bad things have happened to people of color in our criminal justice system. So to this end, please understand, that during my career, I’ve gone into the Harris County Jail and Texas prisons on numerous occasions (on secret assignments) working in conjunction with the owner of one of the largest locally owned private security, and investigations firms. The man who was funding my investigations back then (who mysteriously died) also was the godfather of one of my sons, and the backer of one of my publications. That being said, I can straight-faced assure you that I’ve seen some of the injustices that are occurring in the Texas penal system up close and personal. While on the inside, I interviewed (face-to-face) some of the hardest criminals you can imagine for my research. I also discovered first-hand that many of the people who should be locked up are walking around free, and not all of those who are locked behind bars are guilty of the crimes that they, in some cases pleaded guilty to – for whatever reason. So, let me assure you that I know a criminal when I see one. And we have a handful of local elected officials who are straight-criminals and must be stopped!!!

PEOPLE OVER POLITICS

Based on my direct observations over the years, I can attest to the fact that our current criminal justice system is more about “HAVE’S AND HAVE NOT’S” to a greater degree than most people realize.  That being said, sure, in some cases, the skin color of the person being accused of a crime plays a role in who gets indicted and eventually convicted of crimes and those who go free. However, at the end of the day, from observing the system from the inside, and out; having money, good legal representation, and access to influential people are unfortunately key determining factors when it comes to who will spend the rest of their life walking around with an “X” on their back and who doesn’t. So, to this end, we must endeavor to change our criminal justice system and political landscape by “TAKING POLITICS OUT” of the way our judges are selected in the Lone Star State – that’s very important to me!
