Lieutenant Colonel Judge DaSean Jones (far right), pictured with his beautiful wife, Audia Jones, is one of the most honorable men in the United States of America. Did you notice that I did not say Lieutenant Colonel Judge DaSean Jones is one of America's most honorable "BLACK MEN"? This decorated combat war veteran and man of valor nearly lost his life twice in combat overseas and has the battle scars to prove his COURAGE and love for our nation. Regarding his accomplishments, Lieutenant Colonel Judge DaSean Jones's record in combat speaks for itself. If you remove his ethnicity from the equation, Lieutenant Colonel Judge DaSean Jones would not have to endure any of the "RACIST POLITICAL ATTACKS" he's getting bombarded with on U.S. soil by people like Mike Doyle and his henchman Eulundia "Kay" Shepard. Who died and left Kay Shepard in charge of anything? Kay Shepard is a deeply disturbed and deranged woman who appears vexed in her spirit and "coo-coo for coco puffs." Kay Shepard comes across as an 'enraged lunatic' running wild in the Harris County Democratic Party. This Kay Shepard woman is an idiot who is being allowed by Mike Doyle to continue to send emails to discredit Judge Jones. Man. I'm telling you, Eulundia "Kay" Shepard belongs somewhere on a loony farm. Are you listening? It wouldn't surprise me if Kay Shepard rode the short yellow bus to school. For my life, I cannot figure out how four duly qualified "DEMOCRAT JUDGES" selected Eulundia "Kay" Shepard as a "SPECIAL COMMISSIONER" for their courtrooms. And as for Mike Doyle, he's a decent attorney, from what I understand, but Mike Doyle is no more competent than 'crazy A$$' Eulunida "Kay" Shepard, whom he's allowing to speak on his behalf and attack anyone else who tries to expose him.
Kay Shepard is 'bat $hit crazy' and has no business in local politics. It is unclear if Eulundia "Kay" Shepard is getting paid to stalk Investigative Reporter Aubrey R. Taylor. Still, this 'coo-coo for coco puffs lunatic" has a serious problem. It wasn't enough that Kay Shepard allegedly stalked former State Rep. Shawn Theirry and has been spreading lies about Lieutenant Colonel Judge DaSean Jones. Those four "DEMOCRATIC JUDGES," Judge Audrie Lawton, Judge Jim Kovach, Judge LaShawn Williams, and Judge Manpreet Singh, need to choose the "SPECIAL COMMISSIONER" for the County Civil Court at Law courts a little wiser in the future. Eulundia "Kay" Shepard should be on "LOONEY FARM" and is not presiding over anything court-related.
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.
TWENTY-THREE QUESTIONS FOR MIKE DOYLE, THE CHAIRMAN OF THE HARRIS COUNTY DEMOCRATIC PARTY, TO ANSWER...
Why did Mike Doyle move $175,682.11 that had been transferred from the Harris County Democratic Party (CEC) County Executive Committee bank account to the Harris County (FEC) PAC after letting the money sit in the (FED) PAC Bank Account until the Tuesday, November 5, 2024, Presidential Election was over? After the election was over, Mike Doyle made (12) twelve transfers from the (FED PAC) Bank Account to the (FED) Account as "ALLOCABLE AMOUNT" transfers and "LEVIN FUNDS" transfers.
What happened with that supposed $61,700.00 transaction between the Texas Democratic Party and the Harris County Democratic Party? Mike Doyle, the chairman of the Harris County Democratic Party, claimed under penalty of perjury that he received a $61,700.00 donation from Gilberto Hinojosa, who serves as the chairman and treasurer for the Texas Democratic Party on the first day of "EARLY VOTING," which was 10/21/2024, in Texas. Upon expecting the "CAMPAIGN REPORTS" for the Harris County Democratic Party and the Texas Democratic Party filed on 10/28/2024, Gilberto Hinojosa did not report ever donating $61,700.00 to Mike Doyle and the Harris County Democratic Party or receiving a $61,700.00 donation from the Harris County Democratic Party.
Why is Mike Doyle the only Party Chairman in our area who took $110,000.00 from his County Executive Committee (CEC) bank account and donated it to his friend (Diane Lewis), the chairman of the Utah Democratic Party?
What did Diane Lewis, the chairman of the Utah Democratic Party, do with the $110,000.00 that Mike Doyle donated to her in two payments of $10,000.00 on 10/11/2024 and $100,000.00 on 10/15/2024, from funds given to him by Democratic Judicial Candidates? A portion of the money was spent on buying Pizza, shopping at Costco, ordering DoorDash, and purchasing tickets to the Utah branch of the NAACP's Freedom Banquet, among other things?
Who made 'crazy A$$' Eulundia Kay Shepard, the spokesperson for the Harris County Democratic Party, and gave her the right to attack people? And why is Eulundia "Kay" Shepard being paid by the four Harris County Civil Court at Law Judges as a "SPECIAL COMMISSIONER" to keep her quiet?
Why is Mike Doyle, the chairman of the Harris County Democratic Party, continuing to allow Eulundia "Kay" Shepard's 'crazy a$$" to continue attacking Lieutenant Colonel Judge DaSean Jones?
When Judge DaSean Jones sent Mike Doyle an email a few weeks ago, why did Eulundia "Kay" Shepard respond to Lieutenant Colonel Judge DaSean Jones's email rather than Mike Doyle, the chairman of the Harris County Democratic Party?
Why does Mike Doyle favor members of the "LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY" over heterosexual African American women, who have been the backbone of the Democratic Party for decades?
What happened to the over $272,500.00 that "BLACK DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES" gave to the Harris County Democratic Party during the 2024 Presidential Election season? What did Mike Doyle do to specifically benefit Black Judicial Candidates?
How was the more than $1.2 million ($1,277,486.23) given to Mike Doyle by "DEMOCRATIC DONORS" spent once Mike Doyle transferred it from the Harris County Democratic Party (CEC) Bank Account into the Harris County Democratic Party Federal (PAC) Bank Account? How was the money spent to benefit local judicial candidates?
Why didn't Mike Doyle do anything to combat the negative "POLITICAL ATTACK ADS" aired on TV and Radio Stations during the 2024 Presidential Election? Why didn't Mike Doyle develop a counter-strategy to combat the "STOP HOUSTON MURDERS PAC" political attack ads?
What specifically did Mike Doyle do with the more than $50,000.00 given to him by Judge Fredericka Phillips (African American female), the presiding judge for the 61st Civil District Court? And why didn't she get a $49,000.00 donation "KICK BACK" to her campaign like Annette Ramirez, the Latino female running for Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector/Voter Registrar, received in three payments?
What specifically did Mike Doyle do with the more than $40,000.00 given to him by Judge Jeralynn Manor (African American female), the presiding judge for the 80th Civil District Court? And why didn't she get a $49,000.00 donation "KICK BACK" to her campaign like Annette Ramirez, the Latino female running for Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector/Voter Registrar, received in three payments?
What specifically did Mike Doyle do with the more than $30,000.00 given to him by State Rep. Senfronia Thompson (African American female), House District 141 State Representative? And why didn't she get a $49,000.00 donation "KICK BACK" to her campaign like Annette Ramirez, the Latino female running for Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector/Voter Registrar, received in three payments?
What specifically did Mike Doyle do with the more than $12,000.00 given to him by Judge Ursula Hall (African American female), the presiding judge for the 165th Civil District Court? And why didn't she get a $49,000.00 donation "KICK BACK" to her campaign like Annette Ramirez, the Latino female, the Latino female running for Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector/Voter Registrar, received in three payments?
What specifically did Mike Doyle do with the more than $11,000.00 given to him by Judge Elaine Palmer (African American female), the presiding judge for the 215th Civil District Court? And why didn't she get a $49,000.00 donation "KICK BACK" to her campaign like Annette Ramirez, the Latino female, the Latino female running for Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector/Voter Registrar, received in three payments?
What specifically did Mike Doyle do with the more than $11,000.00 given to him by Judge Cheryl Elliott Thornton (African American female), the presiding judge for the 164th Civil District Court? And why didn't she get a $49,000.00 donation "KICK BACK" to her campaign like Annette Ramirez, the Latino female, the Latino female running for Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector/Voter Registrar, received in three payments?
What specifically did Mike Doyle do with the more than $10,000.00 given to him by Judge Dawn Rogers (African American female), the presiding judge for the 334th Civil District Court? And why didn't she get a $49,000.00 donation "KICK BACK" to her campaign like Annette Ramirez, the Latino female, the Latino female running for Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector/Voter Registrar, got in three payments?
Why wasn't Judge Fredericka Phillips, Judge Jeralynn Manor, State Rep. Senfronia Thompson, Judge Ursula Hall, Judge Elaine Palmer, Judge Cheryl Elliott Thornton, or Judge Dawn Rogers chosen to be one of the faces of the "2024 VICTORY CAMPAIGN" over Lauren Ashley Simmons, a member of the "LGBTQ+ Community who didn't pay anything directly into the HCDP coordinated campaign? Mike Doyle should be asked what State Rep. Lauren Ashley Simmons paid into the 2024 Coordinated Campaign.
Why wasn't Judge Jeralynn Manor, Judge Fredericka Phillips, State Rep. Senfronia Thompson, Judge Ursula Hall, Judge Elaine Palmer, Judge Cheryl Elliott Thornton, or Judge Dawn Rogers chosen to be one of the faces of the "2024 VICTORY CAMPAIGN" over State Senator Molly Cook, a member of the "LGBTQ+ Community who didn't pay anything directly into the coordinated campaign? Mike Doyle should be asked what State Senator Molly Cook paid into the 2024 Coordinated Campaign.
Why did Mike Doyle take $10,000.00 from the Harris County Democratic Party (CEC) County Executive Committee Bank Account and donate the $10,000.00 to the Annette Ramirez for Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector/Voter Registrar Campaign on 10/31/2024 (Thursday, October 31, 2024), which was only one day before "EARLY VOTING," was ending on Friday, November 1, 2024, in Harris County, Texas? What kind of sense did it make for the Harris County Democratic Party to donate $10,000.00 to Annette Ramirez's Campaign a day before "EARLY VOTING" was scheduled to end?
Why did Mike Doyle turn around and give $17,000.00 to Annette Ramirez for Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector/Voter Registrar on 10/31/2024 (Thursday, October 31, 2024) after he had already given her $10,000.00 on the same day? What kind of sense did it make for Mike Doyle to donate $27,000.00 to Annette Ramirez's Campaign on the day before "EARLY VOTING." is scheduled to end on Friday, November 1, 2024, in Harris County, Texas?
Why did Mike Doyle give Annette Ramirez for Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector/Voter Registrar another $22,000.00 on 11/08/2024 (Friday, November 8, 2024), which was three days after the Tuesday, November 5, 2024, Presidential Election was already over?
County Tax Assessor-Collector Annette Ramirez was given a free ride for most of the way at the expense of local "DEMOCRATIC JUDGES" who paid into the "VICTORY 2024 CAMPAIGN." However, Annette Ramirez did $29,329.00 in late October, which was strange. For all intents and purposes, Mike Doyle and the Harris County Democratic Party favored Annette Ramirez over Judge Fredericka Phillips, who donated $47,000.00, and Judge Jeralynn Manor, who donated $44,500.00 and used their donated money to promote Annette Ramirez as the face of the (HCDP), instead of them.
CONCERNING DONATIONS...
Why did Mike Doyle give the Annette Ramirez Campaign $49,000.00 out of the Harris County Democratic Party (CEC) Bank Account to promote her campaign out of money that was given to him by "BLACK FEMALE JUDGES" and other Democratic candidates?
Eulundia "Kay" Shepard filed a lawsuit against the Harris County Democratic Party on Friday, October 2, 2020, to force the HCDP to open up their books and be more transparent. Shortly after filing her lawsuit against the Harris County Democratic Party, Kay Shepard was made a "SPECIAL COMMISSIONER" and began receiving appointments from the Democrat County Civil Court at Law judges. It is unclear now if the taxpayer money she has been given was to buy her silence. At this point, I don't believe Judge Jim Kovach or Judge LaShawn Williams would engage in corruption or use taxpayer dollars to buy the silence of Kay Shepard, but only time will tell.
STRONGARMING THE HCDP…
A few months after Kay Shepard filed her lawsuit against the Harris County Democratic Party, she began getting assignments to act as a “SPECIAL COMMISSIONER” for local Harris County Civil Court at Law Courts. To date, Eulundia “Kay” Shepard has received more than (50) fifty appointments as a “SPECIAL COMMISSIONER,” using taxpayer dollars, which is why Eulundia “Kay” Shepard is acting as the attack dog for Mike Doyle and is available at the beck and call of a small group of Democratic judges.
JUDGES FUNDING KAY SHEPARD…
If you take a moment to search through the campaign finance reports for the Harris County Democratic Party, you will not find the name of Eulundia “Kay” Shepard as receiving any money as a consultant, attack dog, henchman, or anything of that nature.
Search the “VENDOR PORTAL” for the Harris County Auditor’s Office. You will discover that Kay Shepard is getting paid with taxpayer dollars in connection to the “SPECIAL COMMISSIONER APPOINTMENTS” she’s getting from Judge Audrie Lawton-Evans (County Civil Court at Law No. 1), Judge Jim F. Kovach (Count Civil Court at Law No. 2), Judge LaShawn A. Williams (County Civil Court at Law No. 3), Judge Manpreet Monica Singh, the presiding judge for County Civil Court at Law No. 3), all Democrats.

Judge Audrie Lawton-Evans, Judge Jim Kovach, Judge LaShawn Williams, and Judge Manpreet Monica Singh assign Eulundia "Kay" Shepard jobs to work on cases as a Special Commissioner.” It is unclear if these four judges are part of the "SMEAR CAMPAIGN" Kay Shepard has launched against Judge DaSean Jones. However, Mike Doyle appears to be Kay Shepard's master and handler.

Kay Shepard and Mike Doyle Have Absolutely No Business Attacking Lieutenant Colonel Judge DaSean Jones
AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©
According to my investigative team, Kay Shepard doesn’t appear to have a real job. However, she does seem to have something called “THE SHEPARD CONNECTION LLC,” where she supposedly serves as the director.
If you remember, Kay Shepard is the woman who allegedly tried to make a pass at former Democrat State Rep. Shawn Thierry at an event and then allegedly grew angry when Thierry rebuffed her alleged sexual advances.
Kay Shepard is pure evil walking in the flesh, and she appears to be as vexed as a person can be in their mind, body, and spirit and still be functioning. How does she do it?
The first thing you need to know about Kay Shepard is that she has been rejected and rebuffed throughout her life. And on top of being rejected by “HETEROSEXUAL MALES” and “HETEROSEXUAL FEMALES,” she isn’t liked by her family either.
So, to make herself feel good, she, at some point in her life, turned to politics and tried to ride on the coattails of beloved civil rights leader and “UNOFFICIAL MAYOR” of Acres Homes, Beulah Ann Shepard, who didn’t have anything to do Kay Shepard, in any way, shape, or form, from what I understand.
Nobody likes Kay Shepard, but somehow, she keeps interjecting herself into matters that are none of her business. Even still, who died and made Kay Shepard the boss of anyone?
KAY SHEPARD NOMINATED DOYLE…
If you think back to Sunday, March 19, 2023, Kay Shepard is the person who nominated Mike Doyle to become the chairman of the Harris County Democratic Party.
The crazy thing about Shepard’s nomination is that three highly qualified women were also seeking the chairman position and running against Mike Doyle.
Silvia Mintz, Mary Mosley-Clayton, and Dr. Charoletta Anderson King endeavored to become chairman of the Harris County Democratic Party. Still, all three got rejected by precinct chairs in favor of Mike Doyle, who Kay Shepard nominated.
LAWSUIT FILED BY KAY SHEPARD…
After talking to several Democratic precinct chairs and others close to Democratic politics, I cannot find anyone who believes that Kay Shepard is a respectable human being. However, she’s a bully and hyper-aggressive, so nobody I’ve spoken with would dare say a negative word about Kay Shepard on the record.
Anyway, in case you don’t remember, Kay Shepard filed a lawsuit against the Harris County Democratic Party back on October 2, 2020, a few years before she nominated Mike Doyle, and wiggled, squirmed, and slithered her way back into the upper ranks of the HCDP.
Kay Shepard’s lawsuit against the Harris County Democratic Party was a solid case filed in Judge Scot “Dolli” Dollinger’s 189th Civil District Court.
For years, Kay Shepard’s lawsuit and attempt to get inside the books of the Harris County Democratic Party has remained pending, which has given Kay Shepard the ability to flex muscle and intimidate high-ranking Democratic elected officials.

Tami C. Pierce (left) and her wife/husband, Dr. Stephanie L. Gross-Pierce, have a loving marital relationship that they've shared for more than 22 years. For the most part, before Tami C. Pierce threw her hat into the political ring, she and her wife Stephanie lived a quiet, peaceful life, staying to themselves and out of politics. However, today, a small group of (DINOs), "Democrats in Name Only," and (RINOs), "Republicans in Name Only," have allied themselves together and embraced Tami C. Pierce's campaign for the 180th Criminal District Court as part of a grander scheme to purge "BLACK JUDGES" from local judicial benches in Harris County, Texas. Kay Shepard, who is suspected of being a closet member of the "LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY," is acting as the 'attack dog' for Mike Doyle, the chairman of the Harris County Democratic Party, who also favors "LGBTQ+ WOMEN AND MEN," over "HETEROSEXUAL MEN AND WOMEN," as proven by his recent actions. It appears that Kay Shepard, in her twisted mind and vexed spirit, believes that she is helping her fellow "LGBTQ+ SISTERS" and a more significant cause by working to defeat Lieutenant Colonel Judge DaSean Jones. By definition, a heterosexual person is someone who is exclusively sexually or romantically attracted to someone of the opposite sex; after having her sexual advances allegedly rebuffed by State Rep. Shawn Thierry at an event, Kay Shepard began to attack her (State Rep. Thierry) profusely and oppose her politically as well.
General Merrick Garland chose Judge Erica Hughes to serve as an Immigration Judge, where she will preside over cases beginning in January 2022. In addition to this new role, Judge Erica Hughes has been an esteemed member of the U.S. Army National Guard of Texas in Austin since 2016, serving as a Judge Advocate. On January 1, 2025, Judge Erica Hughes, after being called an animal by an "LGBTQ ATTORNEY." named Ben L. Aderholt and unqualified by fellow judges from within her own party, will take the bench as the presiding judge for the 151st Civil District Court in Harris County, Texas. Judge Erica Hughes is pictured above with State Rep. Jolanda Jones (HD-147) and Judge DaSean Jones, the presiding judge for the 180th Criminal District Court.

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.
