Mayor John Whitmire (Center) is getting the City of Houston on the right track. President-elect Donald Trump (Republican) received 21% of the Black male vote against Vice President Kamala Harris (Democrat) in the 2024 Presidential race. Judge DaSean Jones received 759,157 votes in Harris County, Texas, more than nearly every Democratic candidate running across multiple counties in the 2024 Presidential Election. The only Democratic running across various counties in a judicial race who received more votes than Judge DaSean Jones was Judge Christine Vinh Weems. THE 89TH LEGISLATURE... We're expecting great things from State Senator Borris Miles (Senate District 13) and State Rep. Ron E. Reynolds (HD-27) during the upcoming 89th Texas Legislative Session, scheduled to meet from January 14, 2025, to June 2, 2025.
State Senator Borris Miles (Senate District 13) is unquestionably one of the most vital "BLACK MEMBERS" of the Texas Senate. And State Rep. Ron Reynolds is one of Texas's most potent "BLACK VOICES." If you remember, it was State Rep. Reynolds who immediately stepped up and called for President Joe Biden to step aside after his disastrous debate performance against former President Donald J. Trump. State Senator Borris Miles (Democrat) will be up for re-election in the 2026 Midterm Election. State Rep. Ron Reynolds (Democrat) will also be back up for re-election after quickly dispatching his Republican opponent a few weeks ago.
Lieutenant Colonel DaSean Jones has TWO BRONZE STAR MEDALS, a Combat Action Badge, a Meritorious Service Medal, a Global War on Terrorism, a Global War Expeditionary, an Army Commendation Medal (3OLC), Army Achievement Medal (10LC), an Overseas Ribbon, Korea Defense Service Medal, Overseas Training Ribbon, a National Defense Service Ribbon, and a Parachute Badge to his credit. SPECIAL NOTE: The appearance of Judge DaSean Jones in his military uniform and U.S. Department of Defense visual information does not imply or constitute DOD endorsement.

Black Men Must Stand Up, Get Politically Engaged, and Mobilized; Both Parties Can Seek Support from Black Males
AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©
President-elect Donald Trump won more Black male voters than any Republican presidential candidate in the last 50 years. And, like it or not, there’s a very good reason why.
Nationally, Trump doubled his support among Black men under 45 in the 2024 Presidential Election compared to his haul back in 2020, when he came up short. Three in 10 Black men under the age of 45 voted for Trump – which is remarkable.
In total, 21 percent of Black men voted for Trump, which is something that Democrats had better wake up and come to grips with at the local and national level. However, voting for Trump at 21 percent does not mean African American men have flipped to “THE GOP” side of the aisle – just yet.
So, what’s going on? I believe Trump is relatable to Black men and always has been. For decades, the Hip-Hop community has praised Trump. There’s an unmistakable draw to Trump. Black entertainers such as Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Ice Cube, Kodak Black, Chief Keef, Sexyy Red, Lil Pump, Benny the Butcher, Waka Flocka, Azealia Banks, DaBaby, Fivio Foreign, and many others have ties to the newly elected 47th President of the United States of America.
“TIES THAT BIND.”
Nearly 60% of the people that the “INNOCENCE PROJECT” has helped to exonerate and set free from prison since 1992 are Black men. Like it or not, we have a two-tiered Criminal Justice System in America.
Listen. You can’t say that President Donald Trump was “WRONGFULLY CONVICTED” and did not get a fair shot in court and then turn around and ignore the thousands upon thousands of innocent “BLACK MEN” who are sitting behind bars in prison all across America simply because they could not afford the type of representation that President Trump was able to afford to put forth his defense.
What you might not know is that in 50% of the cases where African American men have been wrongfully convicted and confined, the police used investigatory practices that were deceptive during the interrogation process. The police also used threats to coerce witnesses and racially profiled the wrongfully convicted individuals in nearly all the wrongfully convicted cases.
Trust me when I tell you I know what it feels like to be on the wrong side of the law without resources. I also know what it feels like to stand before an “UNJUST JUDGE” who is racist and dead-bent on making you another statistic.
Trump was a different kind of deal, and many African American men related to him for a multitude of reasons – not related to his criminal convictions. What many folks don’t realize is that Trump has maintained a close relationship with “THE BLACK COMMUNITY” for decades – especially Black men.
As for Mike Doyle, the chairman and treasurer of the Harris County Democratic Party, this dude is bad news and lost in a time warp. Does Mike Doyle think that “ALL BLACK FOLKS” are stupid? We know good leadership when we see it. Mayor John Whitmire is an example of “GOOD LEADERSHIP,” and Mike Doyle is a perfect example of “BAD LEADERSHIP” that has no place in American politics.
Mike Doyle is about to cause a complete implosion of the Harris County Democratic Party if he doesn’t rein in his attack dog. Nobody fears Kay Shepard – she needs to sit her A$$ down somewhere and stop making a fool of herself.
Why is Mike Doyle continuing to allow Kay Shepard, his attack dog, to continue to disparage the name and reputation of Lieutenant Colonel DaSean Jones, who has TWO BRONZE STAR MEDALS, a Combat Action Badge, a Meritorious Service Medal, a Global War on Terrorism, a Global War Expeditionary, an Army Commendation Medal (3OLC), Army Achievement Medal (10LC), an Overseas Ribbon, Korea Defense Service Medal, Overseas Training Ribbon, a National Defense Service Ribbon, and a Parachute Badge to his credit?
Listen! Judge DaSean Jones can help the Democratic Party a lot more than Kay Shepard, a Harris County Democratic Party Precinct Chair (PRECINCT 30), who appears to be on a mission to destroy “HETEROSEXUAL MALES” and “HETEROSEXUAL FEMALES,” who reject her, or her intimidation tactics.
The fact that Mike Doyle allows Kay Shepard to attack fellow Democrats shows how weak Doyle is as a county chairman. What hold does Kay Shepard have on Mike Doyle?
Doesn’t Mike Doyle understand that what Kay Shepard is doing by continuing to attack Judge DaSean Jones will ultimately end up bad for the Democratic field of nominees in the 2026 Midterm Election?
Believe it or not, Black men are sitting back and watching Kay Shepard’s attack on “HETEROSEXUAL MALES” and “HETEROSEXUAL FEMALES” with disdain.
“BLACK MALE VOTERS.”
In Texas, many of the Black men who went to the polls to specifically vote for Trump did not go down their ballots voting for all of the Republican or Democratic candidates. However, “CANVASS REPORTS” seem to indicate that Judge DaSean Jones, a combat military veteran, was one of the strongest Democrats on the entire ballot. What folks have to remember about Judge DaSean Jones is that 4,536,697 Texans went to the polls and voted for him back on November 5, 2024.
For example, Judge DaSean Jones (Democrat) received 759,157 votes in the race for Justice Supreme Cout, Place 2, in Harris County, Texas, during the 2024 Presidential Election.
Julie Countiss (Democrat)
756,089 votes in Harris County, Texas
Sarah Beth Landau (Democrat)
-751,761 votes in Harris County, Texas
Richard Hightower
-750,139 votes in Harris County, Texas
Nancy Mulder (Democrat)
- 749,604 votes in Harris County, Texas
Amber Boud-Cora (Democrat)
- 748,316 votes in Harris County, Texas
Holly Taylor (Democrat)
- 748,048 votes in Harris County, Texas
Brendetta Scott (Democrat)
- 747,028 votes in Harris County, Texas
Margaret ‘Meg” Poissant (Democrat)
- 744,220 votes in Harris County, Texas
Meagan Hassan (Democrat)
- 741,605 votes in Harris County, Texas
Frances Bourliot (Democrat)
- 741,331 votes in Harris County, Texas
Chicka Anyiam (Democrat) received
- 740,448 votes in Harris County, Texas
Charles Spain (Democrat)
- 737,866 votes in Harris County, Texas
Bonnie Lee Goldstein (Democrat)
- 732,099 in Harris County, Texas
Velda Renita Faulkner (Democrat)
- 726,094 votes in Harris County, Texas
When you do a comparison of “DEMOCRATIC JUDICIAL CANDIDATES” who ran across multiple counties in Texas and statewide, only one Democratic Judicial Candidate (Christine Vinh Weems) received more votes in Harris County, Texas than the 759,157 received by Judge DaSean Jones in the race for Justice, Supreme Court, Place 2.
“LOOKING AHEAD.”
In the following 11 months, heading up to the upcoming December 2025 filing deadline for candidates to file for a place to run for office in the 2026 Midterm Election will be tricky. However, before we talk about that, we must address a significant concern that’s unfolding.
During Reconstruction, 44 African Americans were serving in the Texas Legislature as Republicans. When the 89th Legislative Session convenes, we won’t even have half that number, and that’s counting the Texas Senate and the Texas House – that’s not progress.
Regarding local judicial benches in Harris County, Texas, African-American judges could become nearly extinct after the 2026 Midterm Election, and all (26) Incumbent African American Democratic Judges get defeated.
I don’t think all the incumbent African American Democratic Judges up for re-election in 2026 will be defeated. However, someone had better develop a strategy to combat what appears to be a “COVERT OPERATION” aimed at purging African American judges from local judicial benches.
We’ve several election cycles now where “BLACK JUDICIAL CANDIDATES” have gotten targeted by voters using the ‘ethnic-sounding’ first names of African American candidates as their identifiable characteristic.
“TWO-TIER SYSTEM.”
It’s an oxymoron to say that President-Elect Donald J. Trump was a victim of “LAWFARE” and targeted for criminal prosecution for political reasons on the one hand and then say that the Criminal Justice System is working correctly in the case of African American men.
Listen. Our criminal justice system has always been two-tiered. With this in mind, we must endeavor to vet the District Attorneys, Judges, Sheriff, Police Chiefs, and Constables we elect as public servants in Harris County, Texas, and beyond.
I know the horrors and have personally seen how a “ROGUE JUDGE” can alter the case of someone’s life. It happened to me in the 1990s in Harris County, Texas. I don’t care about the ethnicity of judges. Nor do I care about what political party a judge belongs to, for that matter.
Was President Donald J. Trump treated fairly in the courts? NO. Do I believe Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is being treated more harshly by the criminal justice system because he’s a Black man? My answer to this question is a resounding YES!
I am in no way condoning the alleged behavior of Sean “Diddy” Combs; however, until he’s proven guilty in a court of law, he’s supposed to be presumed innocent. It doesn’t matter how damaging the tapes of him kicking and dragging Cassie Ventura in that elevator lobby on Surveillance Video turned out to be – he has not been found guilty of anything.
Back on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, President Donald Trump (Republican), who was technically a “CONVICTED FELON” at the time, defeated Vice President Kamala Harris (Democrat) in a landslide victory in the popular vote and Electoral College.
If a so-called “CONVICTED FELON” can defeat a former Attorney General, Prosecutor, and sitting Vice President of the United States, that should be a wake-up call to America.
Brandishing “REHABILITATED PEOPLE” as lifetime criminals is not the way we should be proceeding forward in America. The recent success in the case of President-Elect Donald J. Trump is a perfect example of how brandishing people as “CRIMINALS” to gain a political advantage doesn’t work in many regards – when it comes to people of other ethnicities.
“TOUGH ON CRIME.”
Our laws need to be changed, and I plan to call on people like State Rep. Ron Reynolds (House District 27), a rising star in the Texas Democratic Party, and State Senator Borris L. Miles (Senate District 13), to work across the aisle with their Republican colleagues to spring forth fundamental criminal justice reforms, that allows “EX-FELONS” with the ability to restore their lives.
After what President Donald Trump experienced, I hope that he and the Department of Justice will also do more to ensure that after people have paid their debt to society, they are allowed to get on with their lives in productive manners without fear of being discriminated against.
Truth be told, I hate the term “TOUGH ON CRIME,” and I also abhor the term “SOFT ON CRIME” when you get right down to it. Yes, we need strict judges sitting on benches, but we also need our judges to have open minds and issue balanced rulings.
We also need our judges to apply the law equally and fairly to everyone who enters their courtrooms. In a perfect world, this would not be an issue. However, we are not living in an ideal world.
In the world we’re living in, we have members of the judiciary who appear to be afraid to issue rulings and, in some cases, appear to be intimidated by “POLITICAL PARTY BOSSES” and even consider the ramifications of their rulings on their political career.
While being “TOUGH ON CRIME,” we must also operate within the confines of our United States Constitution and develop deterrents to quell or discourage people from committing criminal acts in the first place. That said, people out on bond for a violent offense who commit another violent offense should not be allowed back on bond to commit another crime – they must remain in custody.
“TOUGHER STANCE.”
From what I can see, Mayor John Whitmire has his head and heart in the right place. He’s made some drastic changes in his first year as Mayor, and I will give him the benefit of the doubt as we advance.
Mayor John Whitmire inherited serious problems when he took over the reins of Houston City Hall from former Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, the worst and most corrupt Mayor in America. We all learned that the Houston Police Department (HPD) hid hundreds of thousands of improperly coded and uninvestigated cases under Mayor Turner’s watch.
Since taking over, Mayor Whtimire has gotten things headed in the right direction at HPD with the hiring of a new HPD Police Chief named Noe Diaz, who Mayor Whitmire appointed as the new Chief of Police on August 14, 2024.
“It’s about leadership. I believe (currently) Chief Diaz is the best police chief in America,” said Mayor John Whitmire in a recent interview with KPRC News Reporter Gage Goulding.
According to Mayor Whitmire, HPD Officers arrest bad actors and dangerous actors, repeat-FELONS, take them over to the courthouse, and they’re back out on the streets.
“You can’t continue to allow violent offenders, repeat violent offenders, to be released to the streets of Houston,” explained Mayor Whitmire. “It’s a different jurisdiction, obviously (ELECTIONS MATTER), and I’m going to do everything I can to let the public know that we have instances where HPD will serve a warrant on a violent offender (a repeat violent offender), they take them intake, “THE COUNTY” accepts them and then they get a bond while they’re waiting to go to court.”
“CLOSING THOUGHTS.”
Mayor Whitmire is making “PUBLIC SAFETY” and the issue of violent offenders getting released on bond a significant issue in 2025, and I’m in total agreement with him. However, I don’t want to see Mayor Whitmire’s Administration used as a political pawn in the battle for local judicial benches between Republicans and Democrats heading into the upcoming 2026 Midterm Election.

Judge Lashawn Williams, Judge Angela Graves Harrington, Judge Shannon Baldwin, Judge Tonya Jones, and Judge Toria J.

However, I'm not sure why so many potential candidates are seeking to run against the (26) twenty-six African American incumbent judges when there will be (68) sixty-eight local benches up for grabs in the 2026 Midterm Election in Harris County, Texas.
