If you remember, only "BLACK DEMOCRATS" named Ronnisha Bowman, Je'Rell Rogers, Gameyal Haynes, and Porsha Natasha Brown lost their countywide races on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, running as Democratic judicial nominees.

After watching what unfolded in the 2024 Presidential Election, in “VOTING PRECINCTS,” across Harris County, Texas, every sitting African American “INCUMBENT DEMOCRATIC JUDGE” should ready themselves for a contested primary. Why? During the 2022 Midterm Election, Porsha Natasha Brown was defeated by 267 votes on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, with 1,059,031 votes cast in the race for Judge, County Criminal Court No. 3, in Harris County, Texas. After Judge Elaine Palmer lost her bench by 304 votes and Judge Jeralynn Manor lost her bench by 647, African American women appear vulnerable heading into the 2026 Midterm Election. That said, African American Democratic incumbent judges will (more likely than not) draw 2026 Democratic Primary challengers at an alarming rate in Harris County, Texas.

The troubling part about these transfers is that it does not appear that the local “ELECTED OFFICIALS” and candidates who are donating the money to Mike Doyle and the Democratic Party are receiving any benefit from the transfers by way of a “COORDINATED CAMPAIGN,” that directly impacts their bids for election or re-election in any measurable way.

2024 Canvass Reports Reveal the HCDP Has a Race Relations Issue to Address Before Heading into the 2026 Midterms

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

Pleasantville, Houston, is one of the strongest Democratic voter precincts that is still reliably predominantly African American in population. Unlike some of the other Democratic strongholds, the African Americans in Pleasantville, for the most part, voted for Democratic candidates no matter what their ethnic backgrounds happen to be in 2024. 

In the recent Tuesday, November 5, 2024, Presidential Election, Judge Kristen Hawkins received 1,000 votes, Judge Fredericka Phillips received 1,002 votes, Judge Jeralynn Manor received 988 votes, Judge Michael Gomez received 996 votes, Judge-Elect Nicole Perdue received 994 votes, and Judge Elaine Palmer received 994 votes in Precinct 259, which is in Pleasantville, a predominantly African American Democratic stronghold. 

Heading into the 2026 Midterm Elections in Harris County, Texas, there are (26) twenty-six African American “INCUMBENT DEMOCRATIC JUDGES” who could be challenged on Super Tuesday in the Democratic Party Primary.

If you remember back during the 2022 Democratic Party Primary, (12) twelve “INCUMBENT DEMOCRATIC JUDGES,” mostly white, lost their benches in the primaries on Tuesday, March 1, 2022, Democratic Party Primary, and then, on November 8, 2022, Midterm Election, the only Democratic candidates running countywide for a Judicial Position in Harris County, Texas who lost, were African American candidates, with “ethnic-sounding” names.

Judge Ronnisha Bowman (Democrat) lost to her Republican challenger (Paula Goodhart) during the 2022 Midterm Election. Je’Rell Rogers (Democrat) lost to his Republican opponent (Jessica Padilla) during the 2022 Midterm Election. Gemayel (Democrat) lost to his Republican opponent (Kristin Guiney) during the 2022 Midterm Election. And Porscha Natasha Brown (Democrat) lost to her Republican opponent (Leslie Johnson) during the 2022 Midterm Election.

Below is a list of the (26) sitting African American “INCUMBENT DEMOCRATIC JUDGES” who are scheduled to be on the “SUPER TUESDAY BALLOT” in Harris County, Texas, if they choose to run for re-election. The only question mark is Judge DaSean Jones, who must defend his bench in a Tuesday, May 3, 2025, “RE-DO ELECTION” for the 180th Criminal District Court bench.

Including Judge DaSean Jones, there are (26) twenty-six African American “INCUMBENT DEMOCRATIC JUDGES” who should all proceed forward as if they will have a challenger running against them in the 2026 Midterm Election.

(1) - Judge Latasha Lewis Payne
(2) - Judge DaSean Jones
(3) - Judge Katherine “Kat” Thomas
(4) - Judge Tamika "Tami" Craft
(5) - Judge Beverly Armstrong
(6) - Judge Lori Chambers Gray
(7) - Judge Melissa Morris
(8) - Judge Dedra Davis
(9) - Judge Veronica Monique Nelson
(10) - Judge Angela Lancelin
(11) - Judge Angela Graves Harrington
(12) - Judge Sandra Peake
(13) - Judge Damiene “Diane” Curvey

After watching what transpired in the 2024 Presidential Election, in “VOTING PRECINCTS,” across Harris County, Texas, every sitting African American “INCUMBENT DEMOCRATIC JUDGE” should ready themselves for a contested primary. Why? During the 2022 Midterm Election, Porsha Natasha Brown only lost by 267 votes on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, with 1,059,031 votes cast in the race for Judge, County Criminal Court No. 3, in Harris County, Texas. After Judge Elaine Palmer lost her bench by 304 votes and Judge Jeralynn Manor lost her bench by 647, African American women appear vulnerable heading into the 2026 Midterm Election. That said, African American females will (more likely than not) draw Democratic primary challengers. 

During the 2022 Midterm Election, Porsha Natasha Brown only lost by 267 votes on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, with 1,059,031 votes cast in the race for Judge, County Criminal Court No. 3, in Harris County, Texas.


“FAST FORWARD.”

If you thought the 2022 Midterm Election race between Porsha Natasha Brown (Democrat) and Leslie Johnson (Republican) was close, what happened on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, in the races for District Judge, 80th Civil District Court, and District Judge, 215th Civil District Court will leave you scratching your head.

Judge Elaine Palmer, the presiding “DEMOCRATIC JUDGE,” over the 215th Civil District Court, lost her bench by 304 votes, in part, because Mike Doyle, the chairman and treasurer for the Harris County Democratic Party, appears to have sold her out, and sabotaged her campaign.

Judge Jeralynn Manor, the presiding “DEMOCRATIC JUDGE” over the 80th Civil District Court, lost her bench by 647 votes, in part because Mike Doyle took nearly $1 million out of the Harris County Democratic Party (CEC) County Executive Committee Bank Account, and transferred it to the Harris County (FED) PAC, Bank Account, and failed to use the money to promote his down-ballot judicial nominees against the harmful “ATTACK ADS” that flooded local TV and Radio airwaves.


“CLOSING THOUGHTS.”

Aside from the “SHELL GAME,” Mike Doyle played with the $948,008.45 he transferred from one account to another, the “SYSTEMATIC SKIPPING,” of ‘ethnic-sounding’ names in certain Democratic voter precincts, played a significant role in the purging of “BLACK JUDGES” from the ranks of the judiciary on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, in Harris County, Texas.

Judge Kristen Hawkins (Democrat) is a great judge by any measurable standard. However, her successful re-election bid was aided by a small group of voters between (8,000 and 10,000), who went to the polls on "ELECTION DAY" to cast their votes for her while skipping the names of her fellow Democrats with 'ethnic-sounding names' causing many of them to lose. Based on the "OFFICIAL CANVASS REPORT" certified by Harris County Commissioners on Friday, November 15, 2024, Kristen Hawkins received 759,292 votes for 51.67% of the vote, and her challenger Nile Bailey Copeland (Republican) received 710,240 votes for 48.33%. That said, Judge Kristen Hawkins defeated her challenger by 49,052 votes.

Judge Fredericka Phillips (Democrat) had a slight hiccup when she was first elected presiding judge for the 61st Civil District Court bench. The fact that Judge Phillips's mistake is constantly used against her while the shortcomings of other public officials are swept under the rug wreaks of potential 'racial bias' against her must stop immediately. There's no logical explanation for Judge Fredericka Phillips (Democrat) to receive so many fewer votes than Judge Kristen Hawkins (Democrat), who appeared in the "CONTESTED JUDICIAL RACE" right before hers on the ballot. Based on the "OFFICIAL CANVASS REPORT" certified by Harris County Commissioners on Friday, November 15, 2024, Fredericka Phillips received 724,465 votes for 49.46% of the vote, and her challenger Lee Kathryn Shuchart (Republican) received 740,386 votes for 50.54%. That said, Judge Fredericka Phillips lost her bid for reelection to her challenger by 15,921 votes.





Judge Jeralynn Manor (Democrat) has done a magnificent job since becoming the presiding judge for the 80th Civil District Court bench, as evidenced by her receiving the prestigious endorsement of the Houston Chronicle Editorial Board. This raises the question of why Judge Jeralynn Manor received so many fewer votes than Judge Kristen Hawkins, who appeared on the ballot two races before her. By comparison, Judge Kristen Hawkins (Democrat) received 759,292 votes, and Judge Jeralyn Manor (Democrat) only received 731,084 votes, an astonishing 28,208 vote differential between the two Democrat judges. How did this happen? There's no logical explanation for why Judge Jeralynn Manor (Democrat) should have received that many fewer votes than Judge Kristen Hawkins unless her name was being "SYSTEMATICALLY SKIPPED" by Democratic voters. Based on the "OFFICIAL CANVASS REPORT" certified by Harris County Commissioners on Friday, November 15, 2024, Jeralynn Manor received 731,084 votes for 49.98% of the vote, and her challenger, Sonya L. Aston (Republican) received 731,731 votes for 50.02%. That said, Judge Jeralynn Manor lost her bid for reelection to her challenger by 647 votes.

Judge Michael Gomez (Democrat) has done a tremendous job as a judge. However, his successful re-election bid was aided by a small group of voters between (8,000 and 10,000), who went to the polls on "ELECTION DAY" to cast their votes for him while skipping the names of his fellow Democrats with 'ethnic-sounding names' causing many of them to lose. Based on the "OFFICIAL CANVASS REPORT" certified by Harris County Commissioners on Friday, November 15, 2024, Michael Gomez received 754,949 votes for 51.54% of the vote, and his challenger, Will Archer (Republican), received 709,841 votes for 48.46%. That said, Judge Michael Gomez defeated his challenger by 45,108 votes.

Judge-Elect Nicole Perdue (Democrat) was a fine attorney and will make a great judge. However, her successful bid for the 133rd Civil District Court bench was aided by a small group of voters between (8,000 and 10,000), who went to the polls on "ELECTION DAY" to cast their votes for her while skipping the names of her fellow Democrats with 'ethnic-sounding names' causing many of them to lose. Based on the "OFFICIAL CANVASS REPORT" certified by Harris County Commissioners on Friday, November 15, 2024, Nicole Perdue received 729,958 votes for 50.03% of the vote, and her opponent Michael Landrum (Republican) received 729,184 votes for 49.97%.

Judge Cheryl Elliott Thornton (Democrat) is a seasoned veteran judge who is "BATTLE-TESTED" and skilled at campaigning. On Tuesday, November 5, 2024, Judge Elliott-Thornton manhandled Aaron Adams (Republican).

In the 2020 Presidential Election, Judge Cheryl Elliott Thorton soundly defeated Michael Landrum (Republican) after she defeated her fellow Democrat, Judge Alexandra Smoots-Thoma, formerly Hogan.

Words can't express how bad a job Judge Ursula A. Hall (Democrat) was doing as the presiding judge for the 165th Civil District Court in Harris County, Texas. The mistake Democrats made in the race for the 165th Civil District Court was to allow her to make it out of the Democratic Party Primary election that was held on Tuesday, March 5, 2024. While Judge Hall defeated her Democratic challenger (Jill Yaziji) on Super Tuesday, her luck ran out when she ran up against Bruce Bain (Republican), a highly respected attorney capable of taking over the 165th Civil District Court bench. Based on the "OFFICIAL CANVASS REPORT" certified by Harris County Commissioners on Friday, November 15, 2024, Judge Ursula A.

Hall by 22,554 votes.





Judge Robert Johnson (Democrat) allegedly allowed a pregnant woman to nearly die inside the courtroom a few years ago. According to several attorneys in his 177th Criminal District court at the time, Judge Johnson seemed unconcerned and would even allow her husband to aid her. Judge Robert Johnson, by most accounts, is an egotistical jerk who let the "BLACK ROBE" he was wearing go to his head. Based on the "OFFICIAL CANVASS REPORT" certified by Harris County Commissioners on Friday, November 15, 2024, Judge Robert Johnson received 725,463 votes for 49.87% of the vote, and her challenger, Emily Munoz Detoto (Republican) received 729,131 votes for 50.13%.

Milliron (Republican) received 726,251 votes for 50.01%. That said, Judge-Elect Nathan Milliron defeated Judge Elaine Palmer by 304 votes.




Judge-Elect Tracy D. Good (Democrat) is highly respected among attorneys and his fellow judges.

Attorney Allison Jackson Matthis (Democrat) performed masterfully in the Democratic Party Primary, held back on Tuesday, March 5, 2024, when she easily unseated Judge Ramona Franklin. Her brand and "NAME ID" had an "ethnic-sounding" ring, which aided her tremendously against Judge Franklin. However, when Allison Jackson Matthis faced off against her Republican opponent, Michelle Oncken, the 'ethnic-sounding' name became a liability. Based on the "OFFICIAL CANVASS REPORT" certified by Harris County Commissioners on Friday, November 15, 2024, Michelle Oncken received 727,301 votes for 50.16% of the vote, and her opponent, Allison Jackson Mathis (Democrat), received 722,622 votes for 49.84%.

Attorney Vivian King (Democrat) is a lying, conniving, manipulative, corrupt, and poor excuse for a human being. Vivian King is a snake and should not have been allowed to slither, squirm, wriggle, crawl, and manipulate her way into nearly becoming the judge of the 486th Criminal District Court. Vivian King is considered the "H-TOWN DRUNK" who hates men. She's also, on multiple occasions, allegedly tried to paint Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg (her boss) as a racist behind her back. Both of the "BLACK DEMOCRAT MEN" who were on the ballot on "SUPER TUESDAY" running against this low-down dirty skank were more worthy and trustworthy than her. Either Gemayle Haynes or Roderick Rodgers should have been the Democratic nominee in the race for the 486th Criminal District Court, in my opinion. Based on the "OFFICIAL CANVASS REPORT" certified by Harris County Commissioners on Friday, November 15, 2024, Judge Aaron Burdette received 730,432 votes for 50.42% of the vote, and his challenger, Vivian King (Democrat), received 718,252 votes for 49.58%. That said, Judge Aaron Burdette defeated Vivian King by 12,180 votes. By the way, the term "SKANK" is a term used to describe a disreputable or sleazy person.

Judge-Elect Stacy Allen Barrow (Democrat) will make a fine judge. However, she skated through the 2024 Presidential Election cycle under the radar, as voters seeking to purge candidates with 'ethnic-sounding' names from local judicial benches didn't identify her as being a Black woman because her name does not sound ethnic. Based on the "OFFICIAL CANVASS REPORT" certified by Harris County Commissioners on Friday, November 15, 2024, Judg-Elect Stacy Allen Barrow received 728,314 votes for 50.39% of the vote, and her opponent, Lori DeAngelo (Republican), received 716,933 votes for 49.61%. That said, Judge-Elect Stacy Allen Barrow defeated Lori DeAngelo by 11,381 votes.

Based on the "OFFICIAL CANVASS REPORT" certified by Harris County Commissioners on Friday, November 15, 2024, Judge Matthew Peneguy received 727,300 votes for 50.41% of the vote, and his challenger, Carvana Cloud (Democrat), received 715,457 votes for 49.59%. That said, Judge Peneguy defeated Carvana Cloud by 11,843 votes.
