State Rep. Jolanda Jones (top left), should be pissed at Precinct 7 Constable James "Smokie" Phillips who recently stabbed her in the back, when he prematurely endorsed Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee (bottom left) in the race for the vacant 18th Congressional District of Texas seat. Back in the 2024 Democratic Party Primary, when everyone was talking about the James "Smokie" Phillps's past run-in with the FBI, and DEA, and his criminal conviction, County Attorney Christian Menefee refused to endorsed his candidacy and so did Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis, based on Smokie's list of endorsement on his website. It's a real slap in the face for "SMOKIE" to turn around and endorse Menefee without checking with State Rep. Jolanda Jones first since she's always stood by "SMOKIE" with his criminal-minded tail. ON THE NATIONAL FRONT... Trouble continues to mount for Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett after insensitive "Governor Hot Wheels" remarks. In case you haven't heard, the women who host THE VIEW have come forward to voice their disapproval of United States Representative Jasmine Crockett’s decision to seemingly mock Governor Greg Abbott, who is permanently disabled.
Constable James "Smokie" Phillips once again proved that he does not have a moral compass to guide his activities. A few years ago, he used his badge to intervene in a private matter involving his corrupt friend Vivian King, who was a First Assistant Prosecutor with the D.A.'s Office at the time. King was allegedly trying to get her husband (Eric Carr), the former prizefighter, arrested on false domestic violence charges. Even after Constable James "Smokie" Phillips was shown "VIDEO PROOF" that his lowdown-friend Vivian King was lying about what occurred, he reportedly let her get away with her alleged criminal activity carried out while she was in an alleged a drunken stupor.
"CRIMINAL-MINDED LAWMAN."
I bet you’re wondering why I’m calling “SMOKIE” criminal-minded – right? Listen, I’ve looked into some of the claims made by 30-time Emmy Award-Winning Investigative Reporter Wayne Dolcefino back on February 16, 2024, and Dolcefino’s reporting checks out.
It’s true, James “Smokie” Phillips has been a lawman in Harris County dating back to the days of 1996 when “SMOKIE” got busted in a colossal cocaine trafficking ring involving Mexico’s Cali Cartel.
Dolcefino told the truth when he stated, “Smokie was one of 11 co-conspirators busted in this cartel scheme by the FBI and DEA.”
According to Dolcefino, “The indictment detailed Smokie’s alleged role was to use his law enforcement position to protect the drug smugglers, help them avoid detection, and use a state computer to run background checks on potential drug buyers.”
“Smokie was convicted of a federal conspiracy charge, but the conviction was later thrown out by a judge who found witness testimony vague or inconclusive,” according to Wayne Dolcefino. However, that does not mean that James “Smokie” Phillips did not use state computers to protect drug smugglers and help them avoid detection – don’t get that twisted.
Menefee is Selling Wolf Cookies; Cong. Crockett in Trouble; “Smokie” Phillips Screwed Over State Rep. Jolanda Jones
AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©
The first thing that the “BLACK COMMUNITY” in Harris County, Texas, had better wake up and realize is that we are the only ethnic group in America that’s playing a game of politics that has all of our players stepping up to the plate on one side of the political aisle.
When the Democratic party strikes out, “THE BLACK COMMUNITY” loses momentum and then gets sold on the theory that things will be better the next time around. For nearly 50 years, African Americans have been falling for the same antiquated ‘political jargon’ that was sold to our forefathers by sell-out, boot-licking Negroes.
In Texas, Republicans have control of every statewide office, and it has been that way since 1994, when Governor Ann Richards (Democrat) lost the governor’s mansion to George W. Bush (Republican), and will continue to be that way for the foreseeable future.
Sadly, most African Americans won’t even take the time to learn about how bold and courageous our ancestors were during the Reconstruction era – it’s downright heartbreaking.
I’m not trying to flip Democrats to Republicans or vice versa. I’m simply saying that informed people are empowered people.
We’re from the lineage of brave, God-fearing people who believed in themselves and walked by faith. Unlike Black politicians today, our forefathers had the courage and intestinal fortitude and used their minds, creativity, and resources for the betterment of themselves and future generations.
History teaches us that African Americans were one of the ethnic groups in Texas that would consistently support the Republican Party of Texas back in the day.
After the Civil War, throughout the Reconstruction era, African Americans comprised about 90% of GOP membership in Texas. Back then, there were 44 African Americans serving in the Texas Legislature as Republicans.
Only 16 African Americans serve in the Texas legislature today, so how are we progressing? Aside from this, most Black folks don’t even know that African American men and women are the ones who laid the earliest foundations of the Republican Party of Texas.
It’s well-documented that the first-ever state Republican convention that met in Houston on July 4, 1867, was predominantly African American in composition, with approximately 150 African Americans in attendance and only 20 Anglos.
We are currently engaged in a battle for the soul of “THE BLACK COMMUNITY” in the 18th Congressional District of Texas, which means God-fearing public officials and “COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS” must choose a side.
Just yesterday (Friday, March 28, 2025), the Washington Examiner published a report entitled “Trump turning black and Hispanic Voters into Republicans,” which captured my attention.
“President Donald Trump is continuing to win over black and Hispanic voters, many of whom are switching to the Republican Party partly because he is more popular than in his first term.
To win this battle, we as a community of Believers must bury some hatchets, align ourselves together in battle array, and take a strong, unified stand against the “CULT-LIKE” regime of political bandits that have sworn solidarity to worship, idolize, and unthinkingly follow Commissioner Rodney Ellis, and his “PUPPET” County Attorney Christian Menefee like crash-dummies, down the dead-end path he’s traveling.
For politicians who claim to be Believers, God states in Exodus 20:3, “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” Commissioner Rodney Ellis is not a deity, mini-God, or man worthy of idolization or reverence.
Nor should any born-again Believer be fearful in the face of Commissioner Rodney Ellis. In the Book of 2nd Timothy 1:7, the Holy Bible states, “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”
Last night (Friday, March 28, 2025), at 9:24 p.m., I received a tip from a Democratic insider who informed me that Odus Evbagharu, the former chairman of the Harris County Democratic Party, is the person who has allegedly chosen to serve as the campaign manager for the Christian Menefee for Congress Campaign.
- ODUS EVBAGHARU -
- ODUS EVBAGHARU -
If you remember, Odus Evbaghuru is the man who claimed to have dual “American-British” citizenship. He ran the Harris County Democratic Party into the ground before being forced out as chairman following the 2022 Midterm Election debacle in Harris County, Texas.
My investigative team has not yet vetted this tip, so don’t quote me. I need to get two or three more confirmations next week or a public acknowledgment from Christian Menefee’s campaign before we can classify this tip as factual – I’ll keep you posted.
With that out of the way, I don’t mean any harm. Still, Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee and his band of “ELLIS-CRONIES” are attempting to sell “WOLF COOKIES” to the Black community, packaged as “CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES” with a rainbow flag emblazoned on the wrappers to make their morsels appear more appealing – if you know what I mean.
If you see Commissioner Rodney Ellis or Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee at one of the upcoming forums, please don’t eat those “WOLF COOKIES” they’re selling!
In case you are not familiar with the term “WOLF COOKIE,” according to the Urban Dictionary, it’s a small cookie-shaped feces that inevitably exits the anus of a person who got wolf bagged or screwed. That said, I’m imploring “BLACK PEOPLE” not to get wolf bagged or screwed by members of Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis’s “CULT-LIKE” regime of thirsty political bandits who are roaming around Harris County, Texas.
The term “WOLF BAGGING,” as described in the Urban Dictionary, occurs when someone gets bent over and screwed, like Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee, Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis, and the late Congressman/Mayor Sylvester Turner screwed over the people of Fifth Ward, at that fraudulent press conference they held at the Julia C. Hester House on February 10, 2025, claiming to be upset about the contamination in the area.
If pretending to be on the side of “THE PEOPLE” of Fifth Ward while taking campaign donations and purchasing shares of the Union Pacific Railroad isn’t screwing over “BLACK PEOPLE,” I’m not sure what the term screwing over people means.
While the people of the Fifth Ward, in the heart of the 18th Congressional District of Texas, are dying from cancer, our elected leaders like Christian Menefee, Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis, and the late Congressman/Mayor Sylvester Turner were and have been pulling the wool over the eyes of this predominantly African American Democratic stronghold uniquely positioned in the heart of the 18th Congressional District of Texas.
Please make no mistake: Commissioner Rodney Ellis is/was a Union Pacific Railroad stockholder. Former Mayor/Congressman Sylvester Turner was taking campaign donations from the Union Pacific Railroad PAC while simultaneously pretending to be fighting for the hardworking, taxpaying citizens of Fifth Ward when he served as Mayor of the City of the Bayou City for 8 years.
THE DEADLY GAME ELLIS’S CRONIES ARE PLAYING…
The deadly political game that County Attorney Christian Menefee, Commissioner Rodney Ellis, and the late Congressman/Mayor Sylvester Turner played with the health, safety, and well-being of “OUR PEOPLE” is inexcusable and must be addressed by “COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS” and public servants in forum-style settings before any election gets held for the vacant 18th Congressional District of Texas.
Menefee and Ellis must be held accountable.
As a community, we must not allow County Attorney Christian Menefee and Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis to sell any more of their “WOLF COOKIES” to the people of the 18th Congressional District of Texas.
Listen. By the time the field of candidates running for the 18th Congressional District of Texas gets set, the public officials who endorsed Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee before they even knew who all the candidates were will look like complete idiots.
As of today, Saturday, March 29, 2025, I have identified (10) candidates who have officially tendered their candidacy by filing their “STATEMENT OF CANDIDACY” with the Federal Election Commission.
DEMOCRAT - Amanda Edwards has already filed her “STATEMENT OF CANDIDACY” with the Federal Election Commission and has officially entered the race for the vacant 18th Congressional District of Texas.
REPUBLICAN - Cyrus Sajna has already filed his “STATEMENT OF CANDIDACY” with the Federal Election Commission and has officially entered the race for the vacant 18th Congressional District of Texas.
DEMOCRAT - Isaiah Martin has already filed his “STATEMENT OF CANDIDACY” with the Federal Election Commission and has officially entered the race for the vacant 18th Congressional District of Texas.
INDEPENDENT - Khristopher W. Beal has already filed his “STATEMENT OF CANDIDACY” with the Federal Election Commission and has officially entered the race for the vacant 18th Congressional District of Texas.
DEMOCRAT - Robert Slater has already filed his “STATEMENT OF CANDIDACY” with the Federal Election Commission and has officially entered the race for the vacant 18th Congressional District of Texas.
INDEPENDENT - Derrell Sherrod Turner has already filed his “STATEMENT OF CANDIDACY” with the Federal Election Commission and has officially entered the race for the vacant 18th Congressional District of Texas.
DEMOCRAT - Christian D. Menefee has already filed his “STATEMENT OF CANDIDACY” with the Federal Election Commission and has officially entered the race for the vacant 18th Congressional District of Texas.
DEMOCRAT - Dr. James Joseph has already filed his “STATEMENT OF CANDIDACY” with the Federal Election Commission and has officially entered the race for the vacant 18th Congressional District of Texas.
DEMOCRAT - Kivan Polimis - has already filed his “STATEMENT OF CANDIDACY” with the Federal Election Commission and has officially entered the race for the vacant 18th Congressional District of Texas.
DEMOCRAT - Earnest Clayton has already filed his “STATEMENT OF CANDIDACY” with the Federal Election Commission and has officially entered the race for the vacant 18th Congressional District of Texas.
OTHER BONIFIED POTENTIAL CONTENDERS…
The names of several bonified potential contenders have been circulating through back channels in Harris County, Texas, as potential entrants into the “SPECIAL ELECTION” race for the vacant 18th Congressional District of Texas, which is continuing to grow.
Former State Rep. Jarvis Johnson, State Rep. Jolanda Jones, State Rep. Christina Morales, Councilwoman Letitia Plummer, State Rep. Ron Reynolds, NAACP President Bishop James Dixon, Community Activist Travis McGee, former HISD School Teacher Larry McKinzie, Businessman Julian Antonio Martinez, former State Rep. Candidate Angeanette “Angie” Thibodeaux, Former State Rep. Shawn Thierry, TSU Board Regent Dr. Richard Johnson, Community Activist Deric Muhammad, Former 18th Congressional District Candidate Carmen Maria Montiel, Former 18th Congressional District Candidate Wendell Champion, are all bonified contenders, should they enter the race.
PUBLIC OFFICIALS MADE A TACTICAL BLUNDER…
I do not doubt that a handful of the great public officials who endorsed Christian Menefee prematurely are going to wake up and figure out that they made a “TACTICAL BLUNDER” by hitching their credibility to a train filled with nothing but a bunch of “ELLIS-WORSHIPERS” that’s headed toward a dead end.
Look. Harris County Christian Menefee isn’t even making the runoff when the smoke clears in the “SPECIAL ELECTION” for the vacant 18th Congressional District of Texas.
If the public officials who prematurely endorsed Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee know as I know, they might want to rescind their endorsement of Menefee in the race for the 18th Congressional District of Texas, or at the very least pause it, until the entire field is official.
However, I don’t believe that will be the case with Precinct 7 Constable James “Smokie” Phillips, who stabbed his long-time friend, State Rep. Jolanda Jones (HD-147), in the back and didn’t even clean the dagger he used.
If you’re looking for a “BACK-STABBER” amongst the public officials who prematurely endorsed Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee, look no further than Constable James “Smokie” Phillips, who is a card-carrying member of the “SELF-A-CRAT” party.
As he’s affectionately known for being an “AIR-HEAD” all his life, Smokie is little more than a two-bit opportunist who, like smoke from a stogie, will blow whichever way the wind blows.
If you think back to the 2024 Democratic Party Primary, held on Tuesday, March 5, 2024, when James “Smokie” Phillips was on the ballot running for Harris County Justice of the Peace for Precinct 7 Place 1, he didn’t get endorsed by Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis or Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee. However, State Rep. Jolanda Jones proudly endorsed “SMOKIE” over his two Democratic rivals.
It wasn’t by mistake that long-time beloved Precint 7 Constable May Walker did not endorse James “SMOKIE” Phillips when he was running to succeed her.
As a refresher, James “SMOKIE” Phillips came with a lot of baggage, but State Rep. Jolanda Jones stood up for the alleged criminal-minded lawman.
With the help of State Rep. Jolanda Jones and other local public officials, “SMOKIE” received 15,737 votes or 63.8%; Michael Coleman received 4,922 votes or 19.9%; and Gary Hicks Sr. received 4,025 votes or 16.3%.
How did “SMOKIE” repay State Rep. Jolanda Jones for friendship, loyalty, and endorsement? “SMOKIE” knew that State Rep. Jolanda Jones aspired to become a United States Congresswoman. Still, he didn’t care about that when he prematurely jumped on Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee’s bandwagon.
With “JUDAS-SPIRIT” criminal-minded politicians like James “SMOKIE” Phillips lurking in Harris County, Texas’s political alleyways, other public officials had better take notice.
I bet you’re wondering why I’m calling “SMOKIE” criminal-minded – right? Listen, I’ve looked into some of the claims made by 30-time Emmy Award-Winning Investigative Reporter Wayne Dolcefino back on February 16, 2024, and Dolcefino’s reporting checks out.
It’s true, James “Smokie” Phillips has been a lawman in Harris County dating back to the days of 1996 when “SMOKIE” got busted in a colossal cocaine trafficking ring involving Mexico’s Cali Cartel.
Dolcefino told the truth when he stated, “Smoke was one of 11 co-conspirators busted in this cartel scheme by the FBI and DEA.”
According to Dolcefino, “The indictment detailed Smokie’s alleged role was to use his law enforcement position to protect the drug smugglers, help them avoid detection, and use a state computer to run background checks on potential drug buyers.”
“Smokie was convicted of a federal conspiracy charge, but the conviction was later thrown out by a judge who found witness testimony vague or inconclusive,” according to Wayne Dolcefino. However, that does not mean that James “Smokie” Phillips did not use state computers to protect drug smugglers and help them avoid detection – don’t get that twisted.
MENEFEE IS ALREADY IN BAD COMPANY…
The narrative local and national media are trying to spin regarding Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee being the front-runner in the upcoming “SPECIAL ELECTION” for the vacant 18th Congressional District of Texas is all smoke and mirrors, as is the notion that James “Smokie” Phillips is an honest, law-abiding Constable.
Christian Menefee is not a leader but rather a follower, who is little more than a “PUPPET” who must skip, hop, jump, shuffle his feet, bend over, and do the “WATUSI DANCE” whenever the “PUPPET MASTER,” Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis, pulls his strings.
If you look closely into the eyes of County Attorney Christian Menefee, you will see weakness, fear, and cowardice. There’s nothing brave, admirable, or honorable about Menefee.
If you’ve known me for any time, what you will learn about me, is that I do not have any respect for cowards and “YES MEN” who have limp-wrists.
I’m unsure if Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis has yet permitted Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee to go to the restroom without asking for permission. Still, it’s clear that Commissioner Rodney Ellis, not Menefee, is the man calling the shots behind Christian Menefee’s Congressional Campaign.
County Attorney Christian Menefee and Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis are ignorant, insensitive, egotistical, self-centered, arrogant, and spineless public officials who believe they are more intelligent than the rest of us—but they’re wrong.
What Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis has formed is a “CULT-LIKE” group of political bandits who worship him and will unthinkingly do whatever’s asked of them.
Blind loyalty to Commissioner Rodney Ellis is, in fact, the driving force behind the weak list of “ENDORSEMENTS” from local public officials that Christian Menefee released, as he simultaneously proved to the “BLACK COMMUNITY” that he never gave a damn about the late Congressman/Mayor Sylvester Turner.
In my nearly 34 years of covering and investigating local politics, I’ve never encountered anyone who filed a bid for public office on the same day the person who held the office was buried.
I’ve searched high and low, and what County Attorney Christian Menefee did on Saturday, March 15, 2025, is one of the most insensitive actions I’ve ever witnessed.
Menefee racing to file his “STATEMENT OF CANDIDACY” before the dirt got settled at the gravesite of the late Congressman Sylvester Turner was worse than Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee high-jacking countless funerals of people she didn’t know.
I’ve said it before, and I will repeat it: Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee “WILL NOT” make the runoff when the “SPECIAL ELECTION” for the vacant 18th Congressional District of Texas gets called by Governor Greg Abbott – which could be set off until November of 2026 if Abbott chooses to do so.
Speaking of Governor Greg Abbott, the people calling him “GOVERNOR HOT WHEELS” had better take themselves a civics course. Why?
Insulting the most powerful man in Texas, who belongs to the other political party, and then hoping for him to do your party a favor isn’t very smart – politically speaking.
Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett is a United States Congresswoman representing the 30th Congressional District of Texas. From what I understand, 750,000 strong North Texans live within the district's borders.
According to Congresswoman Crockett’s website, the 30th Congressional District of Texas is a vibrant community in the heart of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, featuring both Dallas and Tarrant Counties.
“Since its creation in the early 1990s, TX-30 has been anchored by the City of Dallas and today includes the cities and communities of Grand Prairie, Arlington, Cedar Hill, Duncanville, Ovilla, DeSoto, Glenn Heights, Lancaster, Hutchins, Wilmer, and Seagoville, in addition to Downtown, West, and South Dallas,” state’s Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett’s website.
The website states, “TX-30 is one of the most diverse districts in Texas and the country.” That said, the U.S. Representative for the 30th Congressional District of Texas should not do or say things that could negatively impact the people of the 18th Congressional District of Texas, in my opinion.
A recently published article quoted Sunny Hostin, a member of “THE VIEW,” as saying, “When you make a mistake, you have to own it. " This statement speaks directly to the insensitive comments made by Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett when she referred to Governor Greg Abbott as “Governor Hot Wheels” at a public event in Los Angeles.
Other ladies of “THE VIEW,” along with Hoskins, voiced their disapproval of United States Representative Jasmine Crockett’s decision to seemingly mock Governor Abbott, who is permanently disabled.
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT…
It’s evident that Commissioner Rodney Ellis and his band of “PUPPETS” have used everything at their disposal to protect Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee. However, their efforts to prematurely position Menefee as the “FRONT-RUNNER” have fallen flat.
As for Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, who I believe is bold and courageous, it’s disappointing that she can’t see that her “INSENSITIVE COMMENTS” about our distinguished but disabled governor could stall the setting of a “SPECIAL ELECTION” past Tuesday, November 4, 2025, and have it pushed to Tuesday, November 3, 2026, Midterm Election, if someone doesn’t yank her chain, and tell her to watch her mouth.
In closing, now that the deadline has passed, and the “SPECIAL ELECTION” cannot be placed on the upcoming Saturday, May 3, 2025, “UNIFORM ELECTION” ballot, I am not sure if State Rep. Jolanda Jones or State Rep. Ron Reynolds has to make any sudden entries into the crowded field of contenders before the current 89th Texas Legislative Session, which began on January 14, 2025, ends on June 2, 2025, is concluded.
State Rep. Jolanda Jones recently stated, “I continue to get inquiries about whether I am running for Congressional District 18 since the untimely passing of Congressman Sylvester Turner, and I want to make sure my position is clear.”
“I am giving serious consideration to entering the race.”
She stated, “The simple fact is no one will fight harder to stop Republicans from taking away our social security, our public schools, our health care, our constitutional rights, and more. That’s why I deeply appreciate the expressions of support and requests to run.”
“I considered running for the seat after the untimely passing of Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, but at the request of then-candidate Sylvester Turner, stepped aside, endorsed him, and campaigned for him," explained State Rep. Jolanda Jones.
State Rep. Jones states, “Today, I am laser-focused on fighting to protect my community and my constituents in House District 147 during the legislative session.”
“I will announce my intentions for Congress at the appropriate time,” she stated.
In my opinion, State Rep. Jolanda Jones has the juice to step in and flip the “SPECIAL ELECTION” on its head if she chooses to run for the coveted 18th Congressional District of Texas seat. However, if she chooses not to run, my prayer is for her to “ENDORSE” someone other than Christian Menefee and embrace my mission to uproot Commissioner Rodney Ellis and his “CULT-LIKE” political regime of bandits out of every authoritative position they’ve managed to high-jack in the City of Houston and Harris County, Texas, including judicial benches.

Constable James "Smokie" Phillips serves as the Precinct 7 Constable in Harris County, Texas. Constable Phillips is a member of Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis's "CULT-LIKE" regime. Smokie was listed as one of Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee's endorsers in the "SPECIAL ELECTION" to fill the vacant 18th Congressional District of Texas seat before the late Congressman Sylvester Turner was even placed in the ground good on Saturday, March 15, 2025. And he did so without even knowing which other Democrats would pursue the coveted 18th Congressional District of Texas seat, which proves that he is blindly following the sound of Commissioner Rodney Ellis's drumbeat. If you pay close attention to Constable Phillips, you will notice that he will hop, skip, jump, bend over, shuffle his feet, and do the "WATUSI DANCE" whenever Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis pulls on his strings.
- ELLIS PUPPET #2 -
Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee is the worst form of a man you will run across in politics. Christian Menefee is so indebted to Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis that he possibly asks "THE PUPPET MASTER" for permission to go to the restroom. If elected to serve as the U.S. Representative for the 18th Congressional District of Texas, Christian Menefee will be little more than a "PUPPET" who must jump, skip, hop, bend over, shuffle his feet, and do the "WATUSI DANCE" whenever his strings are pulled by Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis. The hardworking people of the 18th Congressional District must resist the temptation to send any candidate endorsed by Commissioner Rodney Ellis to Washington, D.C., to fight for their interest. After all, while Commissioner Rodney Ellis was pretending to be fighting for the people of the 18th Congressional District of Texas, he failed to tell the people that he was a Union Pacific Railroad stockholder.
On 5/06/2024, Commissioner Rodney Ellis purchased 13 Union Pacific Corp. shares for $3,171.00 using money donated to his campaign.
On 2/06/2024, Commissioner Rodney Ellis purchased 35 Union Pacific Corp. shares for $8,741.00 using money donated to his campaign.
On 2/01/2024, Commissioner Rodney Ellis purchased 23 Union Pacific Corp. shares for $5,660.00 using money donated to his campaign.

Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo has been under the spell of Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis since she defeated Harris County Judge Ed Emmett during the 2018 Midterm Election. It is unclear why Lina Hidalgo is still dancing to the beat of Commissioner Rodney Ellis's drum when she, Commissioner Adrian Garcia, and Commissioner Lesley Briones have more collective power than the "PUPPET MASTER" has these days. Even still, County Judge Hidalgo remains a member of Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis's "CULT-LIKE" regime. Lina even blindly endorsed Christian Menefee in the race for Congress even though Congressman Sylvester Turner wasn't even placed in the ground good on Saturday, March 15, 2025, before Menefee launched his campaign. Suppose you've been paying attention to Commissioners Court. In that case, you should have noticed that County Judge Lina Hidalto occasionally hops, skips, jumps, bends over, shuffles her feet, and does the "WATUSI DANCE" whenever Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis pulls on her strings.

However, she has worked inside Commissioner Rodney Ellis's office as his senior policy advisor since August 2020.

Erica was chosen to serve as the campaign chairman for Christian Menefee for Congress before the late Congressman Sylvester Turner was even placed in the ground good on Saturday, March 15, 2025.

Ellis is Running a “Cult-Like” Regime; The deadline for Governor Abbott to call the Special Election for May 3rd Has Passed
AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©
What happened yesterday (Thursday, March 27, 2025) at the Harris County Commissioners Court was wrong on multiple levels. Just as I told you they would do a little over a week ago, certain Harris County Commissioners voted to keep County Attorney Christian Menefee in place.
If you think back to when the Honorable Judge William "Bill" McLeod accidentally triggered his automatic resignation from his County Civil Court at Law No. 1 bench after only holding it for two months back in 2019, Commissioner Rodney Ellis and his cohorts didn’t show Judge McLeod any love or mercy.
Judge McLeod triggered the "RESIGN TO RUN LAW" after filing his intent to run with the Texas Ethics Commission for the Texas Supreme Court. After pleading with Commissioner Rodney Ellis, County Judge Lina Hidalgo, and others before an "OPEN COMMISSIONERS COURT" to reinstate him to his bench, his cry fell on deaf ears as Ellis and Hidalgo gave his bench to Lesley Briones, who currently serves as the Commissioner for Precinct Four.
The Honorable Judge William "Bill" McLeod accidentally triggered his automatic resignation from his County Civil Court at Law No. 1 bench after only holding it for two months back in 2019. Judge McLeod triggered the "RESIGN TO RUN LAW" after filing his intent to run with the Texas Ethics Commission for the Texas Supreme Court.
What initially happened to Judge William "Bill" McLeod was an innocent mistake on his part, but what transpired afterward was a form of "REVERSE RACIAL DISCRIMINATION" that was covertly carried out by Commissioner Rodney Ellis, County Judge Lina Hidalgo, and others aimed at removing "WHITE MEN" from positions of authority in Harris County, Texas and other parts of the Lone Star State.
The late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once stated, "For the doctrine of black supremacy is as dangerous as white supremacy. God is not interested merely in the freedom of black men and brown men and yellow men, but God is interested in the freedom of the whole human race, the creation of a society where all men will live together as brothers."
This makes what happened yesterday with Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee even more perplexing for Democrats. Especially when it comes to Commissioner Rodney Ellis and other members of his “CULT-LIKE CLAN” doing everything in their power to give Christian Menefee an unfair advantage over the other “POTENTIAL DEMOCRATS” who will be running for the 18th Congressional District of Texas seat.
One Democrat in particular is At-Large Position #4 Councilwoman Letitia Plummer. For Councilwoman Plummer to pursue her dream of becoming a member of the United States Congress is subject to the same “RESIGN TO RUN LAW” the Menefee is supposed to be abiding by to run for the vacant 18th Congressional District seat.
But the difference between County Attorney Christian Menefee and Councilwoman Letitia Plummer is that if she decides to run for Congress, she will have to give up her At-Large Position #4 Council seat for real—unlike what County Attorney Christian Menefee has done.
If I were Councilwoman Letitia Plummer I would be pissed right about now. A small group of Ellis-loyalists, puppets, and partners in crime are interfering in an election process that will include more Democrats than Christian Menefee.
THE DEADLINE FOR MAY 3RD HAS PASSED…
It is evidently obvious that Governor Abbott, a Republican, had no intention of calling for a “SPECIAL ELECTION” to fill the vacant 18th Congressional District seat so that it could appear on the upcoming Saturday, May 3, 2025, Uniform Election ballot.
Since the “SPECIAL ELECTION” will not happen on Saturday, May 3, 2025, we may not hear anything from Governor Abbott for months. Why?
Whenever Governor Abbott steps forward and calls for a “SPECIAL ELECTION” to fill the vacant 18th Congressional District of Texas, the election must occur not more than two months from the date he announces that a “SPECIAL ELECTION” is forthcoming.
Governor Abbott has the authority to call for an “EMERGENCY SPECIAL ELECTION” at any time, but he has no incentive to do so. In fact, doing so would hurt his allies in Washington, D.C., who are dealing with a razor-thin majority in the United States Congress, which is a problem for President Donald J. Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson.
In fact, yesterday (Thursday, March 27, 2025) gave us a clear indication of Governor Abbot's current position. President Donald J. Trump withdrew his nomination of Congresswoman Elise Stephanik to serve as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations to settle things down.
According to published reports, Republicans in the United States Senate were hesitant to confirm Congresswoman Stephanik because it would cause Republicans in the United States House to have one fewer vote if the 21st Congressional District of New York became vacant if she were to be confirmed.
“We must be unified to accomplish our Mission, and Elise Stefanik has been a vital part of our efforts from the very beginning. I have asked Elise, as one of my biggest Allies, to remain in Congress,” said President Donald J. Trump.
MORE THAN LIKELY HAPPENING IN NOVEMBER…
As it stands right now, there are (218) Republican Members of Congress, (213) Democratic Members of Congress, and (4) Open Congressional seats due to vacancies. That said, it doesn’t make sense for Governor Abbott to give Democrats gifts.
Since the 119th Congress doesn’t convene until January 2027, Governor Greg Abbott could justifiably postpone the “SPECIAL ELECTION” to fill the vacant 18th Congressional District of Texas to next year. However, it would be a bad move on his part to do so.
Remember, early voting for Florida's two open Congressional seats has already started for the upcoming April 1, 2025, Special Election.
The 1st and 6th Congressional District races are taking place in reliably red areas in Florida. If won by GOP candidates, it will give Republicans in the United States Congress a 120 to 113 edge over their Democratic rivals.
If Republicans get a (120 to 113) edge in the United States Congress it would make life a whole lot easier for House Speaker Mike Johnson, and President Donald J. Trump, in terms of getting their legislation passed, and pushing their agenda right down the throats of Democrats for the remainder of the 2025 calendar year.
Setting the “SPECIAL ELECTION” for Tuesday, November 4, 2025, would also give more candidates time to develop their “BATTLE STRATEGIES.”
Governor Abbott would also be doing the people of the 18th Congressional District a favor by giving them time to carefully weigh their options if he places the “SPECIAL ELECTION” for the vacant 18th Congressional District seat to appear on the Tuesday, November 4, 2025, ballot.
THE ‘CULT-LIKE’ ELLIS CLAN IS TO BLAME…
I’m not sure what it is, but Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis appears to have a hold on the mind, body, and soul of a handful of local Democratic leaders. These leaders appear to worship Commissioner Rodney Ellis like he’s a mini-God, deity, or oracle.
Remember James “Jim” Warren Jones, the leader of the Peoples Temple Cult who led that mass suicide in Jonestown, Guyana, in the late 1970s?
I don’t mean any harm, but if Commissioner Rodney Ellis told some of his “PUPPETS” to drink some spiked “COOL-AID,” I believe they would do it – that’s how bad things have gotten.
Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis does not care about anyone but himself and his family. And when you get right down to it, many of his “PUPPETS” who jump, skip, hop, and shuffle their feet when their strings are pulled don’t even realize Commissioner Rodney Ellis doesn’t care anything about their well-being.
Listen. Commissioner Rodney Ellis, the late Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, the late Congressman Sylvester Turner, and Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee’s daughter (Erica Lee Carter) are the very reason why the people of the 18th Congressional District of Texas are suffering from taxation without representation for the remainder of the 2025 calendar year.
HOW COMMISSIONER ELLIS’S SCHEME WORKED…
Initially, Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis and Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee’s scheme was to have “SHE-JACK” and “SLY” flip-flop positions. Ellis, Turner, and a group of local pastors believed that they could help Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee become Mayor of Houston and then have Sylvester Turner, who was term-limited, replace Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee by running for her seat in the 2024 Democratic Party Primary.
The “ELLIS/TURNER/LEE” regime bullied Chris Hollins into abandoning his bid to become the Mayor of Houston, Texas, in 2023. After bullying Chris Hollins into dropping out of the November 2023 City of Houston Mayoral Election, the “ELLIS/TURNER/LEE” regime then pulled a dirty trick on former At-Large City of Houston Councilwoman Amanda Edwards, and convinced her, after weeks of badgering, to drop out of the 2023 Mayor Race, and endorse Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee – which she ultimately did.
Ellis’s scheme fell apart when Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee was not able to fulfill her end of the bargain and was handily defeated by John Whitmire. Whitmire dominated Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee and humiliated her to the extent that she began to quickly deteriorate.
As a refresher, in the December 9, 2023, “RUNOFF ELECTION,” John Whitmire received 129,809 votes, or 64%, and Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee only received 71,719 votes, or 35.6%.
After her December 9, 2023, loss to John Whitmire, the woman known as “SHE-JACK” began to get weaker and weaker with each passing day. Ultimately, “SHE-JACK” was forced to reveal to her constituents that she had received a pancreatic cancer diagnosis.
In a blatant act of selfishness, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee refused to resign from her 18th Congressional District of Texas seat and chose to die in office. As a side note, “SHE-JACK” had previously pulled the same stunt in 2012, when she was battling breast cancer, after hiding it for more than a year.
After the death of “SHE-JACK,” on July 19, 2024, a sickly and feeble Sylvester Turner selfishly interjected himself into the conversation when he knew that he was ill.
During November of 2022, Sylvester Turner revealed to the general public that he had been diagnosed with Osteosarcoma, which is a rare type of bone cancer.
According to published reports, “SLY” reportedly had surgery and received six weeks of radiation treatment. After this, he claimed that he was healed. However, his appearance at the “PRECINCT CHAIR ELECTION” held on Tuesday, August 13, 2024, should have been a warning sign to the Harris County Democratic Party “PRECINCT CHAIRS” who voted for him.
After a brief recess and some political gamesmanship, “SLY” defeated Amanda Edwards in a “PRECINCT CHAIR” runoff election with 41 votes to Edwards’s 37.
Once again, Commissioner Rodney Ellis’s “CULT-LIKE” regime, with the help of Councilwoman Letitia Plummer were able to screw over Amanda Edwards. However, their victory was short-lived, as Turner only managed to serve two months after winning the coveted 18th Congressional seat.
So, what did Commissioner Rodney Ellis and his cohorts do wrong? The people of the 18th Congressional District of Texas would not be without representation right today, if the “ELLIS CLAN” had run Sylvester Turner for the “UNEXPIRED TERM” and run Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee’s daughter (Erica Lee Carter) for the 2-year “FULL TERM,” to serve as the U.S. Representative for the 18th Congressional District of Texas.
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT…
If you look at the type of shenanigans Commissioner Rodney Ellis, County Attorney Christian Menefee and Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee’s daughter (Erica Lee Carter), are instituting, it’s evident that the other candidates must band together to defeat the “ELLIS CLAN” in the upcoming “SPECIAL ELECTION” for the vacant 18th Congressional District of Texas seat.
Ellis’s regime must be fully exposed, and his “PUPPETS,” who are carefully positioned and entrenched in authoritative positions in local City, County, and State governmental capacities, must be identified and investigated.
Finally, it is vitally important for the people living inside those “CANCER CLUSTERS” in the Fifth Ward to be informed that Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis was/is a Union Pacific Railroad shareholder and that the late Sylvester Turner was in bed with Union Pacific Railroad while he was pretending to be fighting for them.

State Rep. Ron Reynolds (right) and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the Democratic Congresswoman from the 14th Congressional District in New York, would make a great young team if Reynolds pursued the vacant 18th Congressional District of Texas. Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez is only 35 years old, and State Rep. Reynolds is only 51 years old. Community icon Charles Stamps, the founder of the MLK Grande Parad,e believes that State Rep. Ron Reynolds would make the runoff and face off against former City of Houston At-Large Councilwoman Amanda Edwards. Should State Rep. Reynolds not pursue the seat, Charles Stamps believes that Edwards could win the "SPECIAL ELECTION" for the 18th Congressional District of Texas. "I'm proud to stand with Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in her discontent with Minority Leader Chuch Schumer. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez should primary Schumer in the next election. Congresswoman AOC is a POWERFUL progressive leader FIGHTING in Congress and speaking TRUTH to power! Thanks for standing up to Trump and weak democrats too," stated State Rep. Reynolds in a recent FACEBOOK post.
Regarding power and influence, in Houston, Texas, Kieth "MR. D-MARS Davis, Sr., is the man. For well over 20 years, "MR. D-MARS" has dominated the Houston region with his D-Mars Business Journal, as the President and CEO of Vaskey Media Group, Inc., "MR. D-MARS" has spearheaded campaigns from many local and national brands, local businesses, and politicians. State Rep. Ron Reynolds and "MR. D-MARS" have been friends and allies long before State Rep. Reynolds was elected as the first African American State Representative since the Reconstruction era to get elected in Fort Bend County, Texas.
There's no question about it, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (left) has emerged and positioned herself as one of the strongest female voices in national politics. At 43, Congresswoman Crockett is tirelessly challenging Democrats to stand up and be strong and courageous. Having a fearless leader like State Rep. Ron Reynolds (right) by her side in Washington, D.C., would make things much more serious. However, a United States Army Veteran named Sholdon Daniels (a Republican), has announced on Fox News Digital that he's challenging Congresswoman Crockett for her 30th Congressional District seat in the upcoming 2026 Midterm Election.
Hands down, at 55 years old, famed Civil Rights Attorney Ben Crump (left) is considered one of the top voices in America. When Benjamin Lloyd Crump speaks, America listens. Crump is a lawyer of justice and fairness. And as it relates to State Rep. Ron Reynolds (right), at 51 years old, his future has never been brighter as his life story has become more of a testament to God's grace and faithfulness as State Rep. Reynolds expands his wings well beyond Fort Bend County.
Former Prizefighter turned businessman Eric Carr, the president and CEO of E&E Construction, is one of the best-kept secrets in Harris County, Texas. Carr's popularity and influence on the northeast-side of Houston, Texas, could be invaluable for a candidate to win the upcoming "SPECIAL ELECTION" for the 18th Congressional District of Texas. Carr's strong brotherly bond with State Rep. Reynolds could be an essential driving factor in Reynolds's success should he decide to pursue the vacant 18th Congressional District of Texas seat.
When caring about Houston, Texas matters, you would be hard-pressed to go out and find a more vigorous advocate for the people of Houston than 44-year-old "Trae tha Truth," pictured above with State Rep. Ron Reynolds, 51, a rising star on the national political scene. Born Frazier Othel Thompson III, "Trae tha Truth," knows a thing or two about leadership because whenever there's someone in need, he's been ready and willing to answer the call to service.
According to the most recent U.S. Census, "The 5 largest ethnic groups in Congressional District 18, TX are Black or African American (Non-Hispanic) (31.4%), White (Hispanic) (17.8%), White (Non-Hispanic) (16.7%), Two+ (Hispanic) (12.8%), and Other (Hispanic) (12.7%).
43.3% of the households in Congressional District 18, Texas, reported speaking non-English at home as their primary shared language. This does not consider the potential multi-lingual nature of households; it only considers the primary self-reported language spoken by all household members.
Sylvester Turner (Democrat) received 151,834 votes, for 69.42% of the vote. His Republican opponent received 66,810 votes, for 30.55% of the vote. A bonified "STEALTH CANDIDATE" like former State Rep. Shawn Thierry could legitimately receive over 100,000 votes in a race for the 18th Congressional District if she were to marry a strong base of MAGA, "Make America Great Again," patriots with African American voters who are sick and tired of being played for fools by the "ELLIS/TURNER/LEE" political regime members.
Former State Representative Jarvis Johnson, State Representative Ron Reynolds, State Representative Jolanda Jones, State Representative Christina Morales, Former State Representative Shawn Thierry, NAACP-Houston President Bishop James Dixon, Councilwoman Letitia Plummer, Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee, Former Congresswoman Erica Lee Carter, Former Councilwoman Amanda Edwards, Former Candidate for State Rep. Angeanette "Angie" Thibodeaux, Community Activist Travis McGee, Community Actist Deric Muhammad, TSU Board Regent Dr. Richard Johnson, and former prizefighter turned Businessman Eric Carr, could make up a star-studded field of contenders.
Whenever Governor Greg Abbott calls the "SPECIAL ELECTION" for the 18th Congressional District, you will see a low voter turnout like what you would see in a primary race. And if there are (10) or (15) Democratic candidates running in the race, you will see a situation where the Democratic vote will be splintered. If you look at the "TOTAL" above, what you see is that only 23,629 Democrats turned out to vote for Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, and only 14,668 Democrats turned out for Amanda Edwards last year when they faced off.
66,810 votes were received by Lana Centonze (Republican) in the 2024 Presidential Election race for the 18th Congressional District, running against Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee’s successor, Sylvester Turner.
58,033 votes were received by Wendell Champion (Republican) in the 2020 Presidential Election for the 18th Congressional District, running against Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee.
48,306 votes were received by Lori Bartley (Republican) in the 2016 presidential election for the 18th Congressional District, which was run against Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee.
47,835 votes were received by Maria Dunn (Republican) in the 2024 “UNEXPIRED TERM” Presidential Election for the 18th Congressional District, running against Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee’s daughter Erica Lee.
44,015 votes were received by Sean Seibert (Republican) in the 2012 presidential election for the 18th Congressional District, which was run against Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee.
40,941 votes were received by Carmen Maria Montiel (Republican) in the 2022 Midterm Election for the 18th Congressional District, running against Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee.
38,368 votes were received by Ava Pate (Republican) in the 2018 Midterm Election for the 18th Congressional District, running against Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee.
21,257 votes were received by Kevin O. Dural (Republican) in the 2024 “UNEXPIRED TERM” Presidential Election for the 18th Congressional District, running against Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee’s daughter Erica Lee.

Commissioner Rodney Ellis has $6,414,367.00 in his campaign bank account, more than all of the sitting incumbent "DEMOCRATIC JUDGES" combined. However, the incumbent Democratic Judges are called upon to give the lion's share of the money donated to the Harris County Democratic Party. During the 2024 Presidential Election cycle, while more than a few Democratic Judges donated upwards of $50,000.00 to the Harris County Democratic Party out of their hard-earned campaign money, Commissioner Ellis only gave about $6,500.00 to the HCDP, which was nothing for a man with more than $6 million in his campaign account.
