"Sometimes the "MOST QUALIFIED CANDIDATE" does not come away with the victory on Election Day -- especially when voter turnout is as low as what we're seeing for the HCCS District IX race. However, please be reminded that there's only one "QUALIFIED CANDIDATE" in the race for HCCS Trustee for District IX who values the vote, prayers, and support of every HCCS District IX voter without respect to ethnicity, religious beliefs, gender, gender identity, or socio-economic status -- and that candidate is Dr. Pretta VanDible Stallworth!"
Hopefully, the early voting turnout isn't an indication of what we should expect on Saturday, December 9, 2017. After all, it's really hard to believe that voter participation could be so dismal in a political climate as charged as the one we're currently experiencing nationwide. But get this, when you combine the registered voter totals for HCCS District IX, HISD District I, and HISD District III that number comes to 232,810 registered voters living within the boundaries of these primarily African American and Hispanic districts. However, only 1,701 registered voters went to the polls to vote early between Wednesday, November 29, 2017, and Tuesday, December 5, 2017.
THE HOUSTON CHRONICLE:"VanDible Stallworth, 59, has worked as an adjunct professor at Bellhaven College and guest professor at DeVry University. She also served on the HCC board from 1989-1993. Her position as chaplain for Senate 13 District PAC also demonstrates a healthy ability to reflect the values of her community. While we've expressed a cautiousness about VanDible Stallworth's belief that the board should be more involved with reviewing contracts, her education and experience makes her the best candidate in this race."
Democratic leaders are taking photos with Dr. Pretta VanDible Stallworth as Election Day approaches. In case you haven’t been paying attention, Dr. Pretta VanDible Stallworth has been seen recently with: Harris County Democratic Party Chair (Lillie Schechter), Texas Democratic Party Chair (Gilberto Hinojosa), Congresswoman for the 18th Congressional District of Texas (Sheila Jackson Lee), Congressman for the 9th Congressional District of Texas (Al Green), Mayor for the City of Houston (Sylvester Turner), State Representative for House District 141 (Senfronia Thompson), Harris County District Attorney (Kim Ogg), City of Houston Council Member (Larry Green – District K), City of Houston Council Member (Amanda Edwards – At-Large Position 4), and Harris County Attorney (Vince Ryan), just to name a few.
"Don't forget that Election Day voting on Saturday, December 9, 2017 could be very close in the Runoff Election for HCC Trustee for District IX. So every vote will count!!!"
"Don't forget that Election Day voting on Saturday, December 9, 2017 could be very close in the Runoff Election for HCC Trustee for District IX. So every vote will count!!!"
Lillie Schechter, the newly electedHarris County Democratic Party Chair faces a challenge on Saturday, December 9, 2017, as she seeks to help Democrat Pretta VanDible Stallworth (right) beat back the Republican forces seeking to take over this historically Democratic district. The front-runner at this time is Republican candidate, Eugene "Gene" Pack in the fight for the HCC Trustee for District IX seat. And in case you haven't heard, the Harris County Democratic Party will be hosting a "December Run-Off Phone Bank". Also, in case you're wondering, the Harris County Republican Party has been emailing out their "NEWSLETTER" to assist Eugene "Gene" Pack, as Election Day draws closer!
In case you haven’t been following the HCC Board Trustee for District IX race for the seat that was formerly held by Christopher “Chris” Oliver – it has all come down to a Saturday, December 9, 2017, showdown between a Democrat by the name of Pretta VanDible Stallworth, and a Republican, by the name of Eugene “Gene” Pack. So, please don’t forget that early voting will begin on Wednesday, November 29, 2017, and end on Tuesday, December 5, 2017.
PACK IS THE LAST REPUBLICAN STANDING
Just to bring you up to speed, back in the Tuesday, November 7, 2017 General Elections for HCC Board of Trustees, and HISD Board of Trustees in the Houston area, Republican candidates took a real beating up and down the ballot – but there’s still one left standing, his name is Eugene “Gene” Pack and he’s the projected front-runner at this time! Here’s what Paul Simpson, (Chairman of the Harris County Republican Party) said as he praised Eugene “Gene” Pack for being a longtime committed Republican Party Precinct Chair: “While several conservative candidates for the HISD and HCC school boards fell short in their races, as the top vote-getter for the HCC District IX race, longtime Republican precinct chair Gene Pack was able to make the runoff race.”
Yes, we know, the race for HCC Board Trustee for District IX is supposed to be a non-partisan affair. But the partisan battle-lines were drawn a long time ago. “This race has been anything but non-partisan from the very beginning,” says Taylor. SO, LET'S GO!!!
Democratic Party Chair, Lillie Schechter has gotten into the game – and plans to flex a little muscle by hosting a “Democratic Runoff Election Phone Bank” on Tuesday, November 28, 2017 (the day before the start of Early Voting); again on Tuesday, December 5, 2017 (the final day of Early Voting); and again on Saturday, December 9, 2017 to drive out Election Day voting. “Yes, phone banking is an excellent idea, and I applaud Schechter’s effort. "Just take a moment to think about it, Dr. Pretta VanDible Stallworth is the only Democratic candidate who has the Republican machine working against her -- SO THIS JUST MAKES A LOT OF SENSE,” Taylor explains.
