Why Did Jolanda "Jo" Jones and Brandon Dudley Pick Harris County Tax-Assessor Collector Ann Harris Bennett to Run Against?


Jolanda "Jo" Jones (left) ran against Ann Harris Bennett back on Tuesday, March 3, 2020, and lost. The guy with his hand on Jolanda Jones' shoulder, Brandon Dudley allegedly has a six-figure income working for Harris County Precinct 1 Commissioner Rodney Ellis. Now get this, since Brandon Dudley ran against Ann Harris Bennett back in 2016 and lost by a wide margin, he has been paid more than $33,000.00 as a consultant by Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis -- and that appears to be on top of the money he makes working for Harris County.

Was Jolanda “Jo” Jones and Brandon Dudley Encouraged to Challenge Ann Harris Bennett by Commissioner Ellis?

Do you believe in coincidences? Hey, you can’t make this stuff up. Back on 2/19/2020, Grant Martin Campaigns was paid $58,995.73 by Commissioner Rodney Ellis for what was categorized as a consulting expenditure. Then on the very next day, 2/20/2020, Grant Martin Campaigns was paid $23,312.33 by Jolanda Jones’ Campaign for an advertising expense related to a campaign mailer. As I dug a little deeper, I discovered that back on 1/23/2020, Grant Martin Campaigns was paid $36,557.72 by Commissioner Rodney Ellis for what was categorized as a consulting expenditure related to mail and yard signs. However, I also discovered that on the same day that Commissioner Rodney Ellis gave Grant Martin Campaigns his check for $36,557.72, Jolanda Jones also paid Grant Martin Campaigns $6,102.70 for what she categorized as an advertising expenditure for printing, research, and mailing on her campaign finance report. Now look, there’s nothing wrong with Commissioner Rodney Ellis and Jolanda Jones both using Grant Martin Campaigns as their consultant. But is the timing coincidental? Or does this look like a coordinated effort on the part of Commissioner Ellis and Jolanda “Jo” Jones? Also, please keep in mind that, between Wednesday, May 25, 2016, and Monday, January 6, 2020, from what I can see, Brandon Dudley, after unsuccessfully challenging Ann Harris Bennett back in 2016, has been paid $33,000.00 as a consultant by Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis -- and that appears to be on top of the six-figure income he (allegedly) already makes from Harris County.

Is Commissioner Rodney Ellis the Puppet-Master Behind the Curtain Pulling the Strings in the Democratic Party?

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

Did you know that Jolanda “Jo” Jones is one of Businesswoman Cynthia Bailey’s clients? Yes, it’s true, Jolanda paid Cynthia Bailey several thousand dollars back on 2/10/2020 for her expertise as a consultant, as it relates to her experience with managing campaign signage. And Jolanda’s not the only one. I haven’t independently verified this yet, but according to a tip I received, Former Houston Mayor Annise Parker, former Houston Police Chief C.O. “Brad” Bradford, State Senator Borris L. Miles, Former Judge William “Bill” McLeod, City Councilwoman Martha Castex Tatum, Former Councilman Dwight Boykins, Attorney Cheryl Elliott Thornton, Attorney Dawn Rogers, Attorney Audia Jones, Judge Steven Kirkland, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, State Rep. Garnet Coleman, and Newly Elected HCCS Trustee Rhonda Skillern Jones have all used Businesswoman Cynthia Bailey as a consultant, for poll-worker support, or campaign sign placement throughout Harris County. Again, I will investigate this lead and let you guys know what I find out.

Commissioner Rodney Ellis is by most accounts one of the most powerful men in Harris County, Texas. Like him, or hate him -- that's a fact. Commissioner Ellis has been influencing local politics since he was in his late twenties. Some folks consider Ellis a "KING-MAKER" of sorts. However, some folks consider him a "CORRUPT POLITICIAN" whose days are numbered.

SOMEONE’S PULLING THE STRINGS

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

Remember back in early December of 2019, when Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis took issue with Harris County Clerk Diane Trautman’s claim that she had no legal option other than to remove the contested Houston City Council District B runoff race between Tarsha Jackson and Cynthia Bailey from the ballot? “Due to a legal challenge contesting the outcome of the Houston City Council District B race, the Office of the County Attorney advised me that the District B race could not be on the runoff ballot, per the Texas Election Code,” is what County Clerk Diane Trautman said at Commissioner Court. Remember how Commissioner Rodney Ellis appeared to be all upset at Diane Trautman for pulling the race from the runoff ballot? Well, did you know that Commissioner Rodney Ellis donated $1,000.00 to Tarsha Jackson’s Campaign back on Thursday, November 14, 2019? And the donation from Commissioner Ellis to Tarsha Jackson was made only a few days after the election took place. Remember how Commissioner Ellis talked openly about the serious mistakes that he felt had taken place? Remember how Commissioner Rodney Ellis questioned Diane Trautman’s legal authority to pull the District B race from the runoff ballot? “In my opinion, I think some serious mistakes were made,” are the exact words spoken forth by Commissioner Rodney Ellis. Didn’t he seem to care about the people? Did you ever wonder whether Diane Trautman had a proverbial “DOG IN THE FIGHT” whereas the District B runoffs were concerned? What about Commissioner Rodney Ellis? Do you know for sure, whether Rodney Ellis has a proverbial “DOG IN THE FIGHT” whereas the Houston City Council District B runoffs are concerned?

Harris County Clerk Diane Trautman is one of the most powerful women in Harris County. She's soft-spoken but firm when she needs to be. She's been under a lot of pressure lately. But she's working diligently to make voting more accessible for every registered voter in the county.

TRAUTMAN PAID BAILEY THOUSANDS

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

Did you know that Diane Trautman is one of Cynthia Baley’s clients? It’s very difficult to make the connections and figure out how this District B fight has taken this long to resolve. But, when you start digging in and turning over stones, you just never know what’s going to turn up. While looking over Diane’s Trautman’s campaign finance reports I discovered that Cynthia Bailey, the woman being branded as an ex-felon, and not a redeemed businesswoman, has a client list that is continuing to grow and grow and grow! YOU GO CYNTHIA!!! From what I can see, Cynthia Bailey has ties to Diane Trautman. Did you know that Harris County Clerk Diane Trautman paid $2,325.00 in the form of a “CAMPAIGN EXPENDITURE” categorized as payment for contract labor to Cynthia Bailey? What does this mean? I’m going to tell you if you hold your horses. What this means is that Cynthia Bailey supplied Harris County Clerk Diane Trautman with the man-power to cover the election polls for her back in 2018. In essence, Cynthia Bailey, the businesswoman got a check on 5/17/2018, to man the election polls for Diane Trautman’s Campaign.

Prior to our Tuesday, November 5, 2019, City of Houston General Election, Commissioner Rodney Ellis' donated over $100,000 to TOP -- Texas Organizing Project. Top endorsed Tarsha Jackson in the race for Houston City Council District B. Meanwhile his consultant (Dallas Jones) was busy supporting Renee Jefferson Smith. After Renee Jefferson Smith didn't make the runoff, Commissioner Rodney Ellis donates a cool grand to Tarsha Jackson.

COMMISSIONER ELLIS IS KINDA SMART

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

Commissioner Rodney Ellis is certainly no dummy. Nope! He’s one of the best I’ve ever seen when it comes to playing shell games. I can’t even imagine him playing checkers. Hell NO!!! But I would be very surprised if he doesn’t play a mean game of chess. But anyway, as I said, Commissioner Ellis knows how to get things done in the political world – but he seems to get a little sloppy at times. But even still, he’s a bad man. When you see him coming you should say, “Mama there goes that man again.” But is he as smart as he believes he is in his mind? I can’t answer that question for you yet, but I’ll be able to answer it for you in the next few months. Now, don’t you dare go back and tell Commissioner Ellis that I’m investigating himthat would be a bald-faced lie! What I’m trying to do is understand why it’s seemingly okay for the people of District B to be without representation for this long, when all of the top players are pretending to be working in the best interest of this predominantly African American district. What do you think? Does Rodney Ellis have a proverbial, “DOG IN THE FIGHT” whereas the District B runoffs are concerned? As for me, I can’t tell if he’s pulling for Tarsha Jackson, the woman he donated the $1,000.00 to back on 11/14/2019, or Renee Jefferson Smith. I would think that the woman he’s likely to be pulling for is Renee Jefferson Smith, the third-place finisher – believe it or not. Why? Well, I can’t see where Commissioner Ellis is supporting Renee Jefferson Smith directly. However, I can see, where Commissioner Ellis’ boy Dallas Jones is doing his damndest to assist Renee Jefferson Smith on several different levels. Now, if you don’t know Dallas Jones, he is widely considered as one of the best in the consulting business in our area – if not the nation. What’s Dallas Jones’ connection to all of this? Well, Commissioner Rodney Ellis and Renee Jefferson Smith are both his clients. But the crazy part about the District B race that was held back on Tuesday, November 5, 2019, is that Commissioner Ellis may have had more candidates in the District B race than anyone realized at the time. Remember Tarsha Jackson, the first-place finisher, back on Tuesday, November 5, 2019, in the Houston City Council District B race? Well, if my memory serves me right, Tarsha Jackson played an integral role at TOP (Texas Organizing Project) for about six years before she left the organization to run for the Houston City Council District B seat. What doe this have to do with the price of tea in China? Well, back on 4/14/2016 Commissioner Rodney Ellis donated $250.00 to TOP. Back on 8/31/2016 Commissioner Rodney Ellis donated $50,000.00 to TOP. Back on 11/03/2016 Commissioner Rodney Ellis donated another $50,000.00 to TOP. And back on 1/17/2020 Commissioner Rodney Ellis donated a whopping $150,000.00 to TOP. Now, don’t get me wrong, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with Commissioner Rodney Ellis donating more than $250,000.00 to a credible organization like TOP. I happen to like the good folks at TOP. And for what it’s worth, I love the way they support the candidates they endorse. Hell, after Commissioner Rodney Ellis donated $150,000 to Top, they turned right back around and gave him an in-kind contribution of $4,264.58 a few days later on 1/22/2020. Then on 2/22/2020, the good folks at TOP donated $121,329.04 to Commissioner Rodney Ellis in the form of canvassing and phone banking services. Are you lost? Well, let me be more clear, I believe it was the endorsement from TOP, along with the awesome ground-game services they provided to Tarsha Jackson’s Campaign that helped her emerge from that tough field of candidates she was facing back on Tuesday, November 5, 2019.

Dallas Jones is one of those people you're either going to love or hate. But make no mistake about it, Dallas is a "POWER-PLAYER" in Harris County politics. He's not the kinda guy you want to cross out here if you're new to the political game.

DALLAS JONES IS A POWER-PLAYER

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

Dallas Jones bills himself as a "Political Analyst, Nation Builder, Leader-Shaper," according to his Facebook page. I’m not too sure if he’s all of that…but I digress. Look, from what I understand about Dallas Jones – he’s a shrewd businessman. So with that said, I would also like to remind you that there’s nothing wrong with him working with multiple candidates. However, at first glance, it may not be clear what his connections to the Houston City Council District B race are. So, make yourself a mental note of the fact that Elite Change, Inc. is Dallas Jones’ baby – he owns it. And who is one of his ‘BIGGEST’ clients? You guessed it – Commissioner Rodney Ellis.

FOLLOW THE CAMPAIGN MONEY

Back on 2/17/2020, Commissioner Rodney Ellis paid Elite Change, Inc. which is owned by Dallas Jones $2,100.00 as a consulting expenditure.


Back on 2/10/2020, Commissioner Rodney Ellis paid Elite Change, Inc. which is owned by Dallas Jones $1,500.00 to provide campaign field team support. Then on the very same day, Commissioner Rodney Ellis turned around and paid Elite Change, Inc. the amount of $7,000.00 as a consulting expenditure.


Back on 1/14/2020, Commissioner Rodney Ellis paid Elite Change, Inc. which is owned by Dallas Jones another $7,000.00 as a consulting expenditure.

Tarsha Jackson finished first in the race for Houston City Council District B, way back on Tuesday, November 5, 2019. It is still unclear when the runoff election will be held.



Cynthia Bailey finished second in the race for Houston City Council District B, way back on Tuesday, November 5, 2019. It is still unclear when the runoff election will be held.


Renee Jefferson Smith is still continuing to do the work she's been called to do in the Houston City Council District B community. Make no mistake about it, Renee Jefferson Smith has a real heart for the people of District B. 

IS DALLAS JONES DOUBLE-DIPPING?

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

Can anybody out there tell me why Dallas Jones would go to Renee Jefferson Smith out of the goodness of his heart and donate $10.000.00 worth of his precious time to help her win the Tuesday, November 5, 2019, Houston City Council District B race? Is that what we’re supposed to believe? Get this, Renee Jefferson Smith out of the goodness of heart (I guess) paid Elite Change, Inc. owned by Dallas Jones $9,000.00 out of her campaign account for all of his hard work. Does that make any sense to you? If so, you are “Cuckoo For Cocoa Puffs” my friend. Anyways, I guess it’s a coincidence that Commissioner Rodney Ellis paid Elite Exchange, Inc. $17,600.00 for consulting and field support services during pretty much the same time frame. I’m not sure if it means anything just yet, but that’s some creativity right there if you ask me. Man, that smells like there’s some double-dipping going on.

Natalia "Nata" Cornelio (left) handily defeated Judge George Powell back on Tuesday, March 3, 2020, in the Democratic Party primary race for Judge, 351st Criminal District Court in Harris County, Texas.

REMEMBER NATALIA CORNELIO?

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

Remember all those rumors that were floating around about Natalia “Nata” Cornelio being planted in the race for Judge of the 351st Criminal District Court back on Tuesday, March 3, 2020, in the Democratic Party Primary to take out Judge George Powell? Remember folks alleging that Commissioner Rodney Ellis was a puppet master? Remember folk saying that somebody had to be behind the curtain pulling strings in certain Harris County Democratic primary races? Remember how it sounded hard to believe that a “BLACK ELECTED OFFICIAL” would be behind an “ORCHESTRATED EFFORT” to take out other fellow elected leaders of their same ethnicity? Remember how far fetched that sounded? Huh? Do you remember? Huh? Even Ray Charles, if he were still living could see that the Natalia “Nata” Cornelio’s ties to Commissioner Rodney Ellis aren’t a coincidence. Hell, it wouldn’t take Blind Mellow Jelly this long to put the pieces of this puzzle together. What’s the hold-up? Look, Natalia “Nata” Cornelio worked as the Director of Legal Affairs for Harris County Precinct One Commissioner Rodney Ellis. She is one of the people who helped to negotiate and finalize the settlement agreement in the misdemeanor bail reform lawsuit in Harris County, Texas according to her admission. All of that is fine and dandy! But get this, while trying to find out more information about her I noticed that (1) one day before the Tuesday, March 3, 2020, Democratic primary was set to take place, Commissioner Rodney Ellis gave her a few thousand dollars -- $2,500.00 to be exact. Now, if Commissioner Ellis isn’t the person behind the curtain pulling strings, why would he give a Latina woman trying to unseat an African American male judge $2,500.00 a day before Election Day? Well, as it turned out, the Latina woman, Natalia “Nata” Corneilo who received financial support from the Honorable Commissioner Rodney Ellis, went on to defeat Judge George Powell, the African American member of the judiciary who was seeking re-election. In case you don’t remember, Natalia “Nata” Cornelio received 158,098 votes, for 63.82% of the vote. And as for Judge George Powell, well, he fought a valiant effort, but he could only muster 36.18% of the vote.

Jeremy Brown has done a good job since taking the bench as the Justice of the Peace for Precinct 7. Place 1. However, do to his Tuesday, March 3, 2020, Democratic primary loss to Wanda Adams, he must hand over his gavel to Judge-Elect Wanda Adams.

REMEMBER JUDGE JEREMY BROWN?

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

Let’s take a moment and go back in time together! Can you think back to the morning of Saturday, July 14, 2018? Do you remember what you were doing that morning? Huh? Can you? Huh? I sure can – just like it was yesterday. I was sitting back watching (a Livestream) as the Precinct Executive Committee meeting was taking place to name the person who would become the new Harris County Justice of the Peace for Precinct 7, Place 1. Several candidates had already dropped out of the race that was to be decided by Harris County Democratic Party Precinct Chairs. I knew it was going to be a mess – and they did not disappoint me. Anyways, after all of the buffoonery and shenanigans were over, Jeremy Brown was selected. Now, if you think back carefully, Commissioner Rodney Ellis was not supposed to be behind Jerry Brown being a part of this circus – right? Jeremy Brown was supposed to be seeking to become the Justice of the Peace for Precinct 7, Place 1 all on his own – right? Well, did you know that Jeremy Brown had served as the District Director and legislative aide for a very well-known State Senator? Well? Did you? Did you know that before taking the bench as Justice of the Peace for Precinct 7, Place 1, Jeremy Brown served as an advisor of strategic initiatives and community engagement coordinator for Harris County Precinct 1 – run by Commissioner Rodney Ellis? Did you know that Jeremy Brown, just like Natalia “Nata” Corneilo were on Commissioner Rodney Ellis’ payroll before launching their bids for public office? Do you believe that’s a coincidence? Well? Do you?

FOLLOWING THE CAMPAIGN MONEY

Back on 6/23/2017, Rodney Ellis paid Jerry Brown $195.00 for some sort of loan repayment or reimbursement for campaign-related expenses I guess.


Back on 6/23/2016, Rodney Ellis paid Jeremy Brown $3,000.00 for what was categorized as a consulting expense according to Commissioner Ellis’ Campaign Finance Report.

Women like the Honorable Constable May Walker, our Precinct 7 Constable (left) and Judge-Elect Wanda Adams are hard to beat in Harris County, Texas. Lifelong Democrat Wanda Adams imposed her will on poor Judge Jeremy Brown on Tuesday, March 3, 2020, in the Democratic primary race for Justice of the Peace Precinct 7, Place 1.

THE BEAT DOWN IN H-TOWN

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

Just as I predicted back on Saturday, July 14, 2018, after all of the shenanigans and buffoonery that took place at Tom Bass park with those Democratic Precinct Chairs – Jeremy Brown went on to lose his seat the first time it came up before the voters. I keep telling folks, that being able to cut backroom deals with the Democratic Precinct Chairs doesn’t mean that you can win an election where the people decide the winner and loser. Anyways, Wanda Adams beat the brakes off Judge Jeremy Brown on Tuesday, March 3, 2020, in the Democratic Party primary race for Harris County Justice of the Peace for Precinct 7, Place 1. In case you don’t remember, Wanda Adams received 22,609 votes, for 67.50% of the vote. As for Jerry Brown, well, he only managed to pull in 10,888 votes, for 32.50% of the vote. Man, payback is a mutha – ain’t it?

Janaeya Carmouche is a strong Black woman. However, she found herself out of her league back on Saturday, December 14, 2019. Carmouche was dealt an embarrassing defeat by Councilman Kubosh as he rolled to victory with more than 61.30% of the vote.

REMEMBER JANAEYA CARMOUCHE?

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

Stop playing! I know you know Janaeya Carmouche? Come on! Think a little harder. Well, what about Council Member Michael Kubosh? Do you know him? Please don’t tell me that you do not know Councilman Kubosh. Well, Councilman Michael Kubosh got challenged out of the blue by an African American female back on Tuesday, November 5, 2019, in the City of Houston General Election. In case you don’t know, he’s the At-Large Position #3 Council Member. As for Janaeya Carmouche, well, according to her Linkedin page, she’s the (Deputy Director) – Interim Director of Community Engagement for Harris County Precinct 1 Commissioner Rodney Ellis. Rumors swirled around this race like a frisbee flying through the air. Did Rodney do this? Is Rodney behind this? Was Janaeya Carmouche encouraged to run against Councilman Kubosh by the Puppet-Master? Man, I got tired of hearing folks speculate. Read people! Read! Reading is fundamental – you know! Okay, I’m back. Anyways, Commissioner Rodney Ellis and his little crew were successful in forcing Councilman (Michael Kubosh) into a runoff, but their attempt to unseat him with an African American female candidate fell flat. How? Well, on Saturday, December 14, 2019, Councilman Michael Kubosh beat that girl like she stole something. I mean, the race wasn’t even competitive – not at all. As a refresher, Councilman Michael Kubosh received 103,969 votes, for 61.30% of the vote. And as for Janaeya Carmouche, well, she didn’t do so well. Comparatively speaking, she was only able to garner 65,634 votes, for 38.70% of the vote.

Brandon Dudley (left) is the Chief of Staff for Commissioner Rodney Ellis' (SMG). He ran for Harris County Tax-Assessor Collector back in 2016 against Ann Harris Bennett.

REMEMBER BRANDON DUDLEY?

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

Are you telling me that you don’t remember Brandon Dudley? Stop it! Brandon Dudley works as part of the Harris County Precinct One 'Senior Management Group' (SMG). The group consists of Brandon Dudley, who serves as the Chief of Staff, and a team of directors charged with the responsibility of making policy and procedural recommendations to Commissioner Rodney Ellis and carrying out the mission and goals of Precinct One through a variety of key leadership functions according to their website. Anyways, a few years back, Brand Dudley hatched the bright idea that he wanted to serve as the Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector – all on his own – right? Anyways he jumped into the race for Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector running against Ann Harris Bennett back on Tuesday, March 1, 2016, in the Democratic primary. But things didn’t turn out so well for him. If my memory serves me correctly, Ann Harris Bennett whipped the socks off that boy. Just in case you don’t remember, Ann Harris Bennett received 100,271 votes, for 61.48% of the vote. And as for poor Brandon Dudley, well, he could only muster 62,822 votes, for a measly 38.52% of the vote.

DO YOU KNOW JOLANDA JONES?

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

The Black community was looking around in dismay when Jolanda “Jo” Jones jumped in the race to challenge Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector Ann Harris Bennett back on Tuesday, March 3, 2020, in the Democratic primary. “How could one Black woman be doing this to another?” asked one of my readers. “What is Jolanda thinking?” asked another. While Jolanda Jones’ bid to take out Ann Harris Bennett fell flat, the questions centering around how, and why Ann Harris Bennett was primaried haven’t gone away. For the record, Ann Harris Bennett received 157,161 votes, for 58.31% of the vote to finish first. Jolanda “Jo” Jones received 101,760 votes for 37.76% of the vote to finish second. And the third-place finisher was a guy by the name of Jack Terrence, who received 10,590 votes, for 3.93% of the vote. So, in an attempt to quiet the chatter, I will give you an inside look at some behind the scenes happenings. However, keep in mind, that Brandon Dudley, the last person to face Ann Harris Bennett works for Commissioner Rodney Ellis as the Chief of Staff for Harris County Precinct One’s -- 'Senior Management Group' (SMG). Also keep in mind that, between Wednesday, May 25, 2016, and Monday, January 6, 2020, from what I can see, Brandon Dudley, after unsuccessfully challenging Ann Harris Bennett, has been paid $33,000.00 as a consultant by Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis. Now, back to Jolanda Jones, a very smart businesswoman, and a highly successful attorney. For some reason, I could not find a direct connection between Commissioner Rodney Ellis and Jolanda “Jo” Jones. However, I did find a whole bunch of what I call “CROSS POLLINATION” between Jolanda Jones’ Campaign and that of Commissioner Rodney Ellis. One of the key connectors I discovered was Keith Wade – a powerful local consultant. While Wade doesn’t show up on Jolanda Jones’ most recent campaign reports, trust me when I tell you that Keith Wade is a trusted ally of Jalonda Jones. He and Jolanda “Jo” Jones have worked together for years and years and years. If you don’t know Keith Wade, I will tell you this – HE’S ONE OF THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS! I’ve admired Wade for years, and I’ve been fortunate to work with him a time or two along the way. So, to be sure, Keith Wade is perhaps one of the hottest-hands in the business and he boasts a client base that includes people like, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, Mayor Sylvester Turner, and former Mayor Annise Parker, just to name a few. In other words, Keith Wade isn’t someone you want to cross in the city of Houston.

In case you don't know, Constable Sherman Eagleton received 10,008 votes back on Tuesday, March 3, 2020, in the Democratic Primary, according to the "Unofficial" election returns published by the Harris County Clerk.


Former Constable Ken Jones is heading into the Tuesday, July 14, 2020, runoff election in the race for Harris County Constable Precinct 3 as the "RUNNER-UP" against Constable Sherman Eagleton. In case you don't know, Ken Jones received 3,391 votes back on Tuesday, March 3, 2020, in the Democratic Primary, according to the "Unofficial" election returns published by the Harris County Clerk. However, in a recent turn of events, Eric Reed, Deborah Florus, and Michel (Poppy) Pappillion have all decided to throw their support behind Ken Jones. This could make the runoff showdown between Constable Sherman Eagleton and former Precinct 3 Constable Ken Jones one of the most intriguing races on the entire May 26th Democratic runoff ballot. Why? Well, at first glance it would appear that Constable Sherman Eagleton is the clear, and decisive "FRONT-RUNNER" heading into the runoff showdown. However, when you take into account that Eric Reed received 1,810 votes for 8.58% of the vote; Deborah Florus received 3,279 votes for 15.54% of the vote; Michael (Poppy) Pappillion received 913 votes for 4.33% of the vote, and Ken Jones himself received 3,391 votes for 16.07% of the vote, it isn't difficult to see that the "RUNOFF SHOWDOWN" between Constable Eagleton and Ken Jones won't be as lopsided as their Democratic Primary was back on Tuesday, March 3, 2020. Another key factor to pay close attention to is the fact that only 23,896 votes were cast back on Tuesday, March 3, 2020, in the race for Harris County Constable for Precinct 3. Why is this significant? Well, according to the Harris County Clerk's Office, there are 197,063 registered voters in Precinct 3 who could potentially turn out on Tuesday, May 26, 2020. So both Constable Sherman Eagleton (the current Constable for Precinct 3) and Ken Jones (the former Constable for Precinct 3) will both have their work cut out for them between now and the start of the "EARLY VOTING PERIOD" which begins on Monday, July 6, 2020, and ends on Friday, July 10, 2020, in Harris County, Texas.
