Democratic Judges Suffered Major Defeats Last Night, Others Forced to Tuesday, May 24, 2022, Primary Runoffs

According to the 6:55am Election Returns for the Democratic Party Primary, it appears that Democratic Party Primary voters in Harris County, Texas have sent a very strong message to every sitting Democrat Judge who will be running for re-election against their Republican counterparts on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, in the Midterm Election.

Governor Greg Abbott and Beto O'Rouke both made it safely through the Democratic and Republican Party Primaries last night. That said, on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, Gov. Greg Abbott, Deirdre Gilbert, and Beto O'Rourke will square off in the race for Governor of the State of Texas. (CLICK HERE) for a closer view of the promotional flyer.

Democratic Judges Suffered Major Defeats Last Night, Others Forced to Tuesday, May 24, 2022, Primary Runoffs

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

Have you ever seen a clearer message? So, in case you weren't paying attention, last night was a terrible night for many sitting Democratic incumbent judges who were vying for their party's 2022 nomination. It's a little too early to tell what roll off of the ongoing crime and corruption played in the decision to send so many incumbent judges packing. But, I'm left scratching my head when it comes to how and why Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo avoided a runoff. As for now, I'll just say, that there are a lot of things that just don't smell right about Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo's victory! Especially when you look at the number of votes that Lina received back in the 2018 Democratic Party Primary when she was running all alone, and compare those numbers to the number of votes Lina just received in the 2022 Democratic Party Primary. All of that beings said something doesn't smell right.

COUNTY JUDGE LINA HIDALGO put on what appears to be a dominant performance in the Tuesday, March 1, 2022, Democratic Party Primary race for Harris County Judge. But if you ask me, her performance was a little too dominant. It makes no logical sense that Lina Hidalgo should have been able to defeat the likes of Georgia D. Provost and Erica Davis without a runoff. That being said, something stinks really bad about the race results for Harris County Judge in the Democratic Party Primary.  (CLICK HERE) to view the "UNOFFICIAL RETURNS" for the 2022 Harris County Democratic Party Primary.             

SOMETHING STINKS about these turnout numbers. Do you see the 54,223 early votes that Lina Hidalgo received, during the early voting period this time around? Well, get this, Lina only received 55,213 votes during the early voting period when she was running uncontested back during the 2018 Democratic Party Primary. So, how did she receive an astonishing 54,223 early votes against the field of duly-qualified candidates who lined up to try and defeat her? (CLICK HERE) to view the "UNOFFICIAL RETURNS" for the 2022 Harris County Democratic Party Primary.

SOMETHING DOESN'T SMELL RIGHT when comparing the 55,213 early votes that Lina Hidalgo received running uncontested back during the 2018 Democratic Party Primary, to the whopping 54,223 early votes Lina Hidalgo just received during the early voting period for the 2022 Democratic Party Primary.

AUBREY R. TAYLOR: "Now is the time when our love for America must prevail. It is incumbent upon us to elect "PUBLIC SERVANTS" who understand that they work for the people. We need "ELECTED OFFICIALS" in office who love "OUR CONSTITUTION" and the ideals that our nation was founded upon by our forefathers. We must endeavor to "PUT PEOPLE OVER POLITICS" and do what's best for America during this crucial moment during the history of our great nation."

Please let this "HISTORICAL DOCUMENT" serve as "PROOF POSITIVE" that your dream can come true too! And I implore you to remember these timeless words spoken forth by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., that still ring true today: "Everybody can be great ... because anybody can serve.

Houston Business Connections Magazine© is Celebrating the Life and Legacy of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on Monday, January 21, 2019, and beyond...

During the less than 13 years of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s leadership of the modern American Civil Rights Movement, from December 1955 until April 4, 1968, African Americans achieved more genuine progress toward racial equality in America than the previous 350 years had produced. Dr. King is widely regarded as America’s pre-eminent advocate of nonviolence and one of the greatest nonviolent leaders in world history.

Drawing inspiration from both his Christian faith and the peaceful teachings of Mahatma Gandhi, Dr. King led a nonviolent movement in the late 1950s and ‘60s to achieve legal equality for African-Americans in the United States. While others were advocating for freedom by “any means necessary,” including violence, Martin Luther King, Jr. used the power of words and acts of nonviolent resistance, such as protests, grassroots organizing, and civil disobedience to achieve seemingly-impossible goals. He went on to lead similar campaigns against poverty and international conflict, always maintaining fidelity to his principles that men and women everywhere, regardless of color or creed, are equal members of the human family.

Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech, Nobel Peace Prize lecture and “Letter from a Birmingham Jail” are among the most revered orations and writings in the English language. His accomplishments are now taught to American children of all races, and his teachings are studied by scholars and students worldwide. He is the only non-president to have a national holiday dedicated in his honor and is the only non-president memorialized on the Great Mall in the nation’s capitol. He is memorialized in hundreds of statues, parks, streets, squares, churches and other public facilities around the world as a leader whose teachings are increasingly-relevant to the progress of humankind.

Some of Dr. King’s most important achievements include:

 In 1955, he was recruited to serve as spokesman for the Montgomery Bus Boycott, which was a campaign by the African-American population of Montgomery, Alabama to force integration of the city’s bus lines. After 381 days of nearly universal participation by citizens of the black community, many of whom had to walk miles to work each day as a result, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that racial segregation in transportation was unconstitutional.

 In 1957, Dr. King was elected president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), an organization designed to provide new leadership for the now burgeoning civil rights movement. He would serve as head of the SCLC until his assassination in 1968, a period during which he would emerge as the most important social leader of the modern American civil rights movement.

 In 1963, he led a coalition of numerous civil rights groups in a nonviolent campaign aimed at Birmingham, Alabama, which at the time was described as the “most segregated city in America.” The subsequent brutality of the city’s police illustrated most vividly by television images of young blacks being assaulted by dogs and water hoses, led to a national outrage resulting in a push for unprecedented civil rights legislation. It was during this campaign that Dr. King drafted the “Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” the manifesto of Dr. King’s philosophy and tactics, which is today required-reading in universities worldwide.

 Later in 1963, Dr. King was one of the driving forces behind the March for Jobs and Freedom, more commonly known as the “March on Washington,” which drew over a quarter-million people to the national mall. It was at this march that Dr. King delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech, which cemented his status as a social change leader and helped inspire the nation to act on civil rights. Dr. King was later named Time magazine’s “Man of the Year.”

 In 1964, at 35 years old, Martin Luther King, Jr. became the youngest person to win the Nobel Peace Prize. His acceptance speech in Oslo is thought by many to be among the most powerful remarks ever delivered at the event, climaxing at one point with the oft-quoted phrase “I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right temporarily defeated is stronger than evil triumphant.”

 Also in 1964, partly due to the March on Washington, Congress passed the landmark Civil Rights Act, essentially eliminating legalized racial segregation in the United States. The legislation made it illegal to discriminate against blacks or other minorities in hiring, public accommodations, education or transportation, areas which at the time were still very segregated in many places.

The next year, 1965, Congress went on to pass the Voting Rights Act, which was an equally-important set of laws that eliminated the remaining barriers to voting for African-Americans, who in some locales had been almost completely disenfranchised. This legislation resulted directly from the Selma to Montgomery, AL March for Voting Rights lead by Dr. King.

 Between 1965 and 1968, Dr. King shifted his focus toward economic justice – which he highlighted by leading several campaigns in Chicago, Illinois – and international peace – which he championed by speaking out strongly against the Vietnam War. His work in these years culminated in the “Poor Peoples Campaign,” which was a broad effort to assemble a multiracial coalition of impoverished Americans who would advocate for economic change.

 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s less than thirteen years of nonviolent leadership ended abruptly and tragically on April 4th, 1968, when he was assassinated at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. Dr. King’s body was returned to his hometown of Atlanta, Georgia, where his funeral ceremony was attended by high-level leaders of all races and political stripes.

Judge-Elect Abigail Anastasio Defeated Former Judge Renee Magee in the race for District Judge, 184th District Court in the 2018 Midterms

Judge-Elect Abigail Anastasio was one of the duly-qualified candidates running for office back on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, in the Midterm Election who valued the vote of every voter and won. Houston Business Connections Newspaper© would like to thank Judge-Elect Abigail Anastasio for respecting the vote, prayers, and support of our readership.

JUDGE-ELECT ABIGAIL ANASTASIO DEFEATED FORMER JUDGE RENEE MAGEE; STRAIGHT-TICKET VOTING WAS NOT A FACTOR IN ANASTASIO’S VICTORY

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

In case you don’t know, Judge-Elect Abigail Anastasio would have still defeated Former Judge Renee Magee in the race for District Judge, 184th Judicial District Court – even without the 104,698 straight-ticket voting cushion she received from Democratic voters in Harris County, Texas back on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, in the midterm election. Here’s why: Abigail Anastasio received 652,205 overall votes. When you subtract the 514,758 straight-ticket votes, you come up with 137,447 votes. Comparatively speaking, if you subtract the 410,060 straight-ticket votes, Former Judge Renee Magee received from her overall vote total of 529,350 you come up with 119,290 votes. So, in essence, even if you stripped away the straight-ticket votes received by Judge-Elect Abigail Anastasio and Former Judge Renee Magee, she would have still defeated Former Judge Magee by approximately 18,187 votes back on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, in the midterm election in my opinion.
