Texas is Freer Because of Governor Greg Abbott; Shawn Thierry and Other True Texas Trailblazers You Should Know


Former State Rep. Shawn Thierry (left) found a true friend and loyal supporter in Governor Greg Abbott when she felt abandoned by the Harris County Democratic Party. Finding true friendship in politics is a fleeting task because you won't discover who your friends are until you experience adversity. On January 13, 2025, Governor Greg Abbott appointed Shawn Thierry to the Texas Juvenile Justice Board. And just last week, on Tuesday, February 11, 2025, attorney Shawn Thierry was named the Executive Director of Policy and Counsel at the prestigious Texas Southern University. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. stated, "In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends," more valid words have never been spoken for the turbulent political times we're living through today. That said, I would like to thank Attorney Jeralynn Manor, Attorney Eric Dick, State Rep. Ron Reynolds, and Lieutenant Colonel Judge DaSean Jones for their loyal support and friendship as I walked through one of the most difficult times in my life.



Former State Rep. Shawn Thierry and Governor Greg Abbott are both true "TEXAS TRAILBLAZERS" in their own right. Texas is freer because of Governor Greg Abbott's leadership and policies. For nearly 200 years, Texas has been self-reliant and religiously defended liberty and freedom. Governor Greg Abbott believes that every Texan has a right to freely speak their mind and stand on their beliefs and convictions. While "THE GOP" officially stands for the "GRAND OLD PARTY," more and more African Americans are beginning to view "THE GOP" as a bastion of opportunity and hope for a brighter future. Governor Greg Abbott proudly welcomed State Rep. Shawn Thierry into the Texas Republican Party after she was abandoned by the Democratic Party for standing up for the rights of Texas children. Governor Greg Abbott and other conservative leaders will need our support in the 2026 Midterm Election.



Judge Jeralynn Manor, the former presiding judge for the 80th Civil District Court in Harris County, Texas, is honored and grateful to have served the people of Harris County, Texas, for four years. Please remember that the comments, views, opinions, and content published below are those of the publisher of this blog and do not necessarily reflect the view of former Judge Jeralynn Manor in any way, shape, manner, or form.



Judge DaSean Jones values the support of every voter eligible to vote in the 180th Criminal District Court race on Saturday, May 3, 2025. Early voting will begin on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, and end on Tuesday, April 29, 2025. Please remember that the comments, views, opinions, and content published below are those of the publisher of this blog and do not necessarily reflect the view of Judge DaSean Jones in any way, shape, manner, or form.

Eric Carr has proven himself to be a true "TEXAS TRAILBLAZER" who is not afraid to speak truth to power and stand on his convictions as a real man should. Eric Carr, a former prizefighter turned businessman, is a loyal supporter of Aubrey R. Taylor Communications, the publisher of Houston Business Connections Newspaper. His steadfast support, advice, and tutelage played a pivotal role in helping Investigative Reporter Aubrey R. Taylor brave the challenges of fighting "BOGUS CHARGES" from a corrupt DA's Office in Harris County, Texas, under Kim Ogg's administration. The late civil rights icon, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., once stated, "There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe nor politic nor popular, but he must take it because his conscience tells him it is right." Eric Carr was ready and willing to take the stand under oath in the 486th Criminal Courtroom and tell the whole truth, nothing but the truth, so help him, God.



- TRUTHFULLY SPEAKING -

Eric Carr is a real man who displayed courage, intestinal fortitude, and a willingness to stand up and do the right thing when he received an "OFFICIAL SUBPOENA" from attorney Terry Yates to come to court and testify against his ex-wife, Vivian King, who was a powerful First Assistant District Attorney, working in Kim Ogg's Administration. Vivian King is accused of committing "PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT" for her actions and will be held accountable in a Federal Courtroom. Prosecutorial misconduct occurs when a prosecutor breaks a law or code of professional ethics during their professional duties.



- TRUTHFULLY SPEAKING -

Business Eric Carr apologizes to the Investigative Reporter Aubrey R. Taylor and the people of Harris County, Texas, for supporting former Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg during her 2020 Campaign for re-election. Carr also talked about how low-down and dirty Kim Ogg's Administration was and how she used her power to wage war on people who disagreed with her politically. Men like former prizefighter turned businessman Eric Carr are difficult to find. But when it came time for Eric Carr to stand up and make his voice heard in the spirit of fairness and justice, he didn't cower. Carr firmly believes in the words of civil rights icon Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly." Letter from Birmingham, Alabama jail, April 16, 1963

Texas is Freer Because of Governor Greg Abbott; Shawn Thierry and Other True Texas Trailblazers You Should Know

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

After being tormented and (allegedly) sexually harassed by Kay Shepard, the Harris County Democratic Party Precinct Chair for (Precinct #30), state Rep. Shawn Thierry bolted from the Democratic Party and joined the Republican Party, better known as “THE GOP” and affectionately known by many as “The Greater Opportunity Party.”

Since switching to “THE GOP,” Texas Governor Greg Abbott has looked out for Theirry, rewarded her, and ensured she landed on solid footing.

On January 13, 2025, Governor Greg Abbott appointed Shawn Thierry to the Texas Juvenile Justice Board for a term set to expire on February 1, 2029.

In case you don’t know, the Texas Juvenile Justice Board is responsible for developing and implementing rules to govern the Texas Juvenile Justice Department.

If appointing former state Rep. Shawn Thierry to the Texas Juvenile Justice Board wasn’t enough, it is believed that Governor Greg Abbott was secretly working behind the scenes to assist Thierry with finding a good-paying job – but this rumor isn’t confirmed.

What’s fair to note is that Texas Southern University (TSU) is a historically Black public university. Still, as the Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott has a lot of pull and can make things happen at TSU, if you know what I mean.

THIERRY LANDS A JOB AT TSU…

On Tuesday, February 11, 2025, attorney Shawn Thierry was named the Executive Director of Policy and Counsel at the prestigious Texas Southern University.

A press statement states, “Texas Southern University (TSU) has appointed Attorney Shawn Thierry as Executive Director for Policy and Counsel. The newly established role will serve in the Office of Board Relations alongside the Executive Director for Board Relations.

Thierry’s policy background includes service in the Texas state government’s legislative and executive branches. She represented Houston’s District 146 in the Texas House of Representatives for four terms, twice serving as Vice Chair of the House Ways and Means Committee, serving as Vice Chair of the Sustainable Property Tax Relief Committee, and serving as a member of the committees on Energy Resources, Land & Resources Management, County Affairs, and Juvenile Justice & Family Issues. Thierry currently serves on the Texas Juvenile Justice Board, to which Governor Greg Abbott appointed her in January 2025.

“I am excited to join Texas Southern University as Executive Director for Policy and Counsel,” Thierry said. “As an alumna of the Thurgood Marshall School of Law, returning to TSU is an honor and a blessing. I am eager to offer my combined experience as an attorney, state legislator, and policy expert to advancing the University’s mission. I look forward to supporting the Board of Regents in prioritizing student success and preparing graduates to contribute to the thriving Texas economy. Go Tigers!”

In this role, Thierry will advise the Board of Regents on federal, state, and local policy issues, coordinate special projects, and provide strategic and legal counsel. Thierry is the second veteran state legislator hired by TSU this academic year, joining her former Texas House of Representatives colleague, Dr. James White, who serves as Vice President for Governmental Affairs and Civic Engagement.

“The Honorable Shawn Thierry is recognized nationally for her policy advocacy and legislative effectiveness, especially on behalf of vulnerable populations,” said Chairman of the Board of Regents Brandon L. Simmons. “Shawn offers decades of legal experience along with the knowledge and relationships accrued as an elected official and gubernatorial appointee. We look forward to the many contributions she will make in service of TSU students and Texas taxpayers.”

Thierry is a Houston native and graduate of Howard University and Texas Southern University’s Thurgood Marshall School of Law.”

SOMETHING TO THING ABOUT…

The Harris County Democratic Party is in dire straights, and race relations are at an all-time low, as Mike Doyle and his “HENCHMAN” Kay Shepard need to go. Why?

We are approximately nine and a half months from the December deadline when Democrats and Republicans hoping to appear on the 2026 Democratic Party and Republican Party primary ballots must sign up to run. Currently, Democrats don’t even know who will lead the Texas Democratic Party into the 2026 Midterm Elections.

To make matters worse, Democrats don’t even have a gubernatorial nominee to face off against Governor Greg Abbott or a lieutenant gubernatorial nominee to face off against Lt. Governor Dan Patrick in the 2026 Midterm Election, which is highly problematic.

Closer to home, the Harris County Democratic Party currently has (26) twenty-six African American judges up for re-election, which is historic. Still, these people have their heads in the sand and don’t know what to do now.

The (26) twenty-six African American judges, (2) two Black males, and (24) twenty-four Black females don’t even realize that they are on the menu and are about to get eaten alive if they don’t come up with a collective strategy to save themselves – this is utterly embarrassing.

PUSHING BACK AGAINST INJUSTICE...

Organizations like the Innocence Project must be supported and provided with the finances they need to protect the civil rights of the less fortunate. The Innocence Project, Inc. is a 501 nonprofit legal organization that works to exonerate the wrongly convicted through DNA testing and other forms of post-conviction relief, as well as advocate for criminal justice reform to prevent future injustice.

Did you know that nearly 60% of the people that the Innocence Project has helped to free or exonerate since 1992 are Black? If not, I bet you didn't know that research by the Innocence Project shows that over 50% of exonerees of color who were under 21 when they were arrested had at least one false implication by another youth.

Listen!!! I'm not saying that "BLACK FOLKS" don't commit crimes. What I'm saying is that too many Black men are forced into plea agreements because they do not have the financial means to fight back against our "TWO-TIERED" Criminal Justice System that has been weaponized against 'BLACK MEN" forcing many who are accused of crimes to plead guilty to crimes they did not commit.

But you don't have to take my word for it. If you look at the cases below, all these men were exonerated of crimes they did not commit. That said, as the 2026 Midterms draw nearer, please do your research on every "2026 JUDICIAL CANDIDATE," and make sure that the judges you vote for are tough, fair, compassionate, and not a "CLOSET RACIST," looking to carry out their racist inclinations of people of color.

Mike Doyle is Currently Under Investigation by the Texas Ethics Commission; Doyle Must Step Down Immediately


An active Texas Ethics Commission investigation has been launched into Mike Doyle (top left) and his potentially fraudulent "CAMPAIGN FINANCE REPORTS," which he has been filing under penalty of perjury. TEC has accepted the first complaint filed against Doyle alleging that the Harris County Democratic Party failed to disclose accurate donor information for thousands of dollars in contributions made via Act Blue, the same donation platform that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (top second from left) opened an investigation into December 2023. According to Attorney General Paxton, his team uncovered serious problems, namely, it appears that straw donations are systematically being made using false identities through untraceable payments using the ActBlue platform. 

OTHER OPEN INVESTIGATIONS... 

Aubrey R. Taylor Communications has opened investigations into Mike Doyle's claim that he received a $61,700.00 donation from the Texas Democratic Party on 10/21/2024, which cannot be found on the TDP campaign finance report filings. Mike Doyle's last-minute $49,000.00 donation given to Annette Ramirez's campaign for Tax Assessor-Collector has also raised some serious red flags. 

Why did Doyle give Annette Ramirez $27,000.00 on 10/31/2024 and then give her another $22,000.00 on 11/08/2024, and didn't give Judge Elaine Palmer, Judge Jeralynn Manor or Judge Fredericka Phillips anything to help their campaigns? It will take someone like State Rep. Jolanda Jones (HD-147) or Judge DaSean Jones to ask Mike Doyle serious questions about his discriminatory practices against Black Democrat females.

Judge Elaine Palmer (bottom second from left) donated over $11,500.00 to the Harris County Democratic Party and did not get a donation back to her campaign from Mike Doyle. Judge Jeralynn Manor (bottom second from right) donated over $44,000 to the Harris County Democratic Party and did not get a donation back to her campaign from Mike Doyle. And Judge Fredericka Phillips (bottom right) donated over $55,000.00 to the Harris County Democratic Party and did not get a donation of any amount given back to her campaign by Mike Doyle. So, what made Annette Ramirez different from the three African American Democratic judicial candidates?

We plan to find out!



Attorney Mark McCaig states, "The Texas Ethics Commission has accepted a complaint against the chairman of the Harris County Democratic Party alleging that the party failed to disclose accurate donor info for thousands of dollars of contributions made via ActBlue." Remember, Attorney General Ken Paxton opened an investigation into ActBlue in December 2023. According to Attorney General Paxton, his team uncovered serious problems: it appears that straw donations are systematically being made using false identities through untraceable payments using the ActBlue platform."



State Rep. Jolanda Jones (HD-147) has emerged as one of Texas's strongest "BLACK LEADERS." Her courage and intestinal fortitude when speaking truth to power are unmatched. State Rep. Jones was unafraid to stand with Judge DaSean Jones at his recent hearing before the Texas Court of Appeals on Thursday, January 30, 2025. State Rep. Jolanda Jones stated, “Supported Judge DaSean Jones in his appeal hearing!” state Rep. Jolonda Jones posted on her FACEBOOK account last week.“I was proud to be there trying to fortify him as he tries to right the wrong of Republican #TamiCPierce, who took a page right out of the trump playbook, trying to throw out his election whooping of her.”

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?

Mike Doyle is Currently Under Investigation by the Texas Ethics Commission; Doyle Must Step Down Immediately

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

With Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee gone, there’s a serious void left in the heart of the local Harris County Democratic Party. I think the next woman up could be State Rep. Jolanda Jones (HD-147) because she is not afraid to tackle complex issues and face down evil no matter where it exists.

While many local Democrats are afraid to stand up and support Lieutenant Colonel DaSean Jones – she’s not. “Supported Judge DaSean Jones in his appeal hearing!” state Rep. Jolonda Jones posted on her FACEBOOK account last week.

“Was proud to be there trying to fortify him as he tries to right the wrong of Republican #TamiCPierce, who took a page right out of the trump playbook, trying to throw out his election whooping of her,” proclaimed state Rep. Jolanda Jones who is not related to Judge Jones.


TROUBLE ON THE HORIZON…

My investigative team has obtained a document informing us that the Texas Ethics Commission has opened up an investigation into Mike Doyle, the chairman and treasurer for the Harris County Democratic Party. Doyle’s faulty campaign finance reports, which I’ve been discussing since the 2024 Presidential Election ended, appear to be the culprit.

In a new development, around seven weeks ago, Mike Doyle had already decided to move the Harris County Democratic Party Headquarters from a historical “BLACK NEIGHBORHOOD,” at 4619 Lyons Ave Houston, Texas 77020, to a traditional “HISPANIC NEIGHBORHOOD,” located at 3302 Canal St, Houston, TX 77003. Why?

I’m not sure if this is why Mike Doyle appeared to have been funneling (I mean donated) $49,000.00 directly to Annette Ramirez’s campaign for Tax Assessor-Collector/Voter Registrar after the 2024 Presidential Election had already ended. Still, it sure looks as if that is the case.


TRUE FACTS AND FINDINGS …

Beyond the investigation that has been launched into Mike Doyle by the Texas Ethics Commission, it appears that Doyle has also engaged in systemic discriminatory practices to favor Annette Ramirez’s Campaign and two “LGBTQ+ WOMEN” named Molly Cook, who is a state Senator, and Lauren Ashley Simmons, who is a state Representative, over “HETEROSEXUAL” African American female judicial candidates.

Our investigation has concluded that Mike Doyle used money donated by “BLACK FEMALE JUDGES,” like Judge Fredericka Phillips (over $55,000.00), Judge Jeralynn Manor (over $44,000.00), and Judge Elaine Palmer (over $11,000.00), and many other African Americans to give his preferred “LGBTQ+ FEMALES” a free ride, and free exposure using money donated to the HCDP by African American candidates.

My investigative team is trying to determine why Mike Doyle authorized donations totaling $49,000.00 as expenditures directly from the Harris County Democratic Party (CEC) Bank Account to be given directly to Annette Ramirez.


CONCERNING DONATIONS TO RAMIREZ...

On 10/31/2024, Mike Doyle took $10,000.00 from the Harris County Democratic Party (CEC) County Executive Committee Bank Account and gave it directly to the Annette Ramirez Campaign for some reason.

On 10/31/2024, Mike Doyle took $17,000.00 from the Harris County Democratic Party (CEC) County Executive Committee Bank Account and gave it directly to the Annette Ramirez Campaign, which raises some serious questions.

On 11/08/2024, Mike Doyle took $22,000.00 from the Harris County Democratic Party (CEC) County Executive Committee Bank Account and gave it to the Annette Ramirez Campaign.


MORE TROUBLING TRANSACTIONS...

Mike Doyle recently took $175,682.11 that was transferred from the Harris County Democratic Party (CEC) County Executive Committee bank account to the Harris County (FEC) PAC and played a “SHELL GAME” with the money.

According to our investigation, Mike Doyle let the $175,682.11 sit inside the (FED PAC) Bank account until the 2024 Presidential Election was over.

Then, after the coast was clear, Mike Doyle made (12) twelve transfers from the (FED PAC) Bank Account to the (FED) Account as “ALLOCABLE AMOUNT” transfers and “LEVIN FUNDS” transfers, which doesn’t make any sense when he could have used the $175,682.11, for his “COORDINATED JUDICIAL CAMPAIGN,” to help his down-ballot judicial candidates.


DEMOCRATIC LEADERS MUST STEP IN…

Democratic Party leaders like State Rep. Jolanda Jones must step in and speak up for the “BLACK JUDICIAL CANDIDATES,” who are running for office in the upcoming 2024 Midterm Election.

Democrats are making a huge mistake by not compelling Mike Doyle to step down. A series of investigations into Mike Doyle and his alleged activities are underway. These investigations could harm every Democrat on the ballot running for office in the 2026 Midterm Elections – no joke.

During Attorney General Paxton’s investigation of ActBlue, his team identified what appeared to be straw donations systematically made by people using false identities through untraceable payment methods.

It’s a little early to tell, but this could explain why Mike Doyle is now under investigation by the Texas Ethics Commission regarding his alleged deceitful reporting of ActBlue donations that have flowed into the Harris County Democratic Party since he took over as chairman.

“Our investigation into ActBlue has uncovered facts indicating that bad actors can illegally interfere in American elections by disguising political donations,” stated Attorney General Ken Paxton,” before calling on the office of the OAG to pressure the FEC to make changes.

Paxton states, “It is imperative that the FEC close off the avenues we have identified by which foreign contributions or contributions in excess of legal limits could be unlawfully funneled to political campaigns, bypassing campaign finance regulations and compromising our electoral system.”

“I am calling on the FEC to immediately begin rulemaking to secure our elections from any criminal actors exploiting these vulnerabilities,” Paxton explained.


TEC NOW INVESTIGATING MIKE DOYLE…

The Attorney General for the State of Texas (Ken Paxton) could soon come breathing down the neck of Mike Doyle, the chairman and treasurer for the Harris County Democratic Party. It is unclear whether Mike Doyle has been laundering money or not, but the Texas Ethics Commission has accepted a complaint filed against Mike Doyle. According to what we’ve learned, it has opened an investigation into Doyle’s failure to disclose thousands of dollars accurately in contributions made to the Harris County Democratic Party through ActBlue.

According to attorney Mark McCaig, “The Texas Ethics Commission has accepted a complaint against the Chairman of the Harris County Democratic Party alleging that the Party failed to disclose accurate donor info for thousands of dollars of contributions made via ActBlue.”

I’ve reviewed some of Mike Doyle’s campaign filings, and it appears that he could be in some serious hot water, as his “HCDP CAMPAIGN FILINGS” are faulty. However, the complaint about his inaccurate ActBlue donations is only part of Doyle’s problem.


MORE COMPLAINTS ARE COMING…

You can bet your bottom dollar more complaints are being prepared and will be filed with the Texas Ethics Commission over the next few months related to Mike Doyle’s “SHELL GAME,” that he played with monies donated to the Harris County Democratic Party, which Mike Doyle then took out of the Harris County Democratic Party (CEC) County Executive Committee Account and transferred it into the Harris County FED PAC, bank account.

Other issues with Mike Doyle’s filings over the last year include a transaction where he claims to have 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.

The supposed $61,700.00 transaction between the Harris County Democratic Party Chairman (Mike Doyle) and the Texas Democratic Party Chairman (Gilberto Hinojosa) will more than likely be investigated by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton since he opened an investigation into ACTBLUE, back in in 2023 and found some serious problems.


INVESTIGATION OPENED INTO ACTBLUE…

Attorney General Ken Paxton sent out a press release on Monday, October 21, 2024, which was the first day of “EARLY VOTING” for the 2024 Presidential Election, alerting the general public that his office had found suspicious donations and that the office of the OAG was involved.

The headline stated, “Inves­ti­ga­tion Into Act­Blue By Attor­ney Gen­er­al Ken Pax­ton Uncov­ers Large Num­ber of Sus­pi­cious Dona­tions Made Through Obscured Iden­ti­ties and Untrace­able Means; OAG Demands FEC Action.”

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sent a Petition for Rulemaking to the Federal Election Commission (“FEC”) detailing how suspicious actors appear to be using ActBlue’s political fundraising platform to make a large number of straw political donations.

In December 2023, Attorney General Paxton opened an investigation into ActBlue to determine whether the platform’s operations were compliant with all applicable laws. In August 2024, Attorney General Paxton announced that due to the investigation, ActBlue began requiring donors using credit cards to provide “CVV” codes, a common security measure. But this is not a full solution to the problems that Attorney General Paxton’s team has identified on ActBlue. Namely, it appears that straw donations are systematically being made using false identities, through untraceable payment methods.

Today, Attorney General Paxton transmitted partially redacted findings to the FEC through a Petition for Rulemaking. The petition recommends regulations that would close fundraising loopholes that jeopardize American election integrity. The FEC previously considered rules on the loopholes that the Attorney General has found here. But ActBlue was a vocal opponent of such rules. That opposition is no longer tenable in light of the Attorney General’s findings. If not corrected by the FEC, bad actors can—with trivial ease—illegally funnel foreign money into American elections, exceed political contribution limits, and more.

“Our investigation into ActBlue has uncovered facts indicating that bad actors can illegally interfere in American elections by disguising political donations. It is imperative that the FEC close off the avenues we have identified by which foreign contributions or contributions in excess of legal limits could be unlawfully funneled to political campaigns, bypassing campaign finance regulations and compromising our electoral system,” said Attorney General Paxton. “I am calling on the FEC to immediately begin rulemaking to secure our elections from any criminal actors exploiting these vulnerabilities.”

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT…

A series of complaints are being prepared against Mike Doyle concerning his campaign finance report filings over the next few months. The problem with this is that Mike Doyle could find himself amid investigations spearheaded by the Texas Ethics Commission and the Attorney General’s Office at the same time that the 2026 Midterm Elections are playing out in Harris County, Texas, which could put every down-ballot Democrat’s candidate’s bid for re-election in jeopardy.

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.

Below are the photos and courts held by African American Democratic incumbents in Harris County, Texas, which will be relevant in the 2026 midterms.



Judge Lashawn Williams, Judge Angela Graves Harrington, Judge Shannon Baldwin, Judge Tonya Jones, and Judge Toria J. Finch will be in the fight of their political lives as Democrats are already contemplating challenging the (26) twenty-six "AFRICAN AMERICAN JUDGES" who are up for re-election in the upcoming 2026 Midterm Election for Harris County, Texas. 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.
