Judge-Elect Germaine Tanner Defeated Judge Alicia Franklin York in the race for the 311th Family District Court in the 2018 Midterm Election


JUDGE-ELECT GERMAINE TANNER UNSEATED JUDGE ALICIA FRANKLIN YORK; STRAIGHT-TICKET VOTING WAS NOT A FACTOR IN TANNER’S VICTORY

In case you don’t know, Judge-Elect Germaine Tanner would have still defeated Judge Alicia Franklin York in the race for Family District Judge, 311th Judicial District Court – even without the 104,698 straight-ticket voting cushion she received from Democratic voters in Harris County, Texas back on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, in the midterm election. Here’s why: Germaine Tanner received 643,674 overall votes. When you subtract the 514,758 straight-ticket votes, you come up with 128,921 votes. Comparatively speaking, if you subtract the 410,060 straight-ticket votes, Judge Alicia Franklin York received from her overall vote total of 534,683 you come up with 124,623 votes. So, in essence, even if you stripped away the straight-ticket votes received by Judge-Elect Germaine Tanner and Judge Alicia Franklin York, she would have still defeated Judge York by approximately 4,298 votes back on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, in the midterm election in my opinion.

AUBREY R. TAYLOR: Why should voters in Harris County, Texas cast their ballot for you over your opponent on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, in the Midterm Election?

COUNTY JUDGE ED EMMETT: “I have the proven experience to do the job. Since becoming Harris County Judge more than ten years ago, I have led our community through the worst of Hurricanes Ike and Harvey, making crucial decisions to save lives and property, fighting for federal and state reimbursement, and leading the effort for a major flooding bond approved by county voters. I have been a leader in addressing mental health and indigent health challenges, worked to build vital transportation projects, and worked with county commissioners to keep county property taxes low. I am endorsed by Republicans, Democrats, and Independents who know I am a problem-solver who focuses on the responsibilities of the job. My opponent is an unknown, 27-year old with no relevant experience, so when you vote, ask yourself who you want in charge when the next storm hits.”

JUDGE ALICIA FRANKLIN YORK: “If statistics are correct that over 50% of voters may end up in a family court, voters would be wise to choose a candidate that will protect their family and property rights. I am that candidate. I am the current judge of the 311th District court who is knowledgeable, experienced, fair and follows the law. I empathize with the struggles families go through in family courts and I have been there to serve in an efficient, yet compassionate manner. I have shown commitment to families and children for the past fifteen years, both as a licensed attorney representing children, husband, wives, mothers, fathers, grandparents, relatives, and foster-parents and as a Judge for the past four years, making a difference for families. In addition to being Judge of this Court, I have volunteered hundreds of hours presiding as Judge of the only Harris County Family Drug Court. As a first-generation immigrant, I appreciate the cultural differences within our diverse county. I have a proven track record of service, success, and fairness to all. I am ready on day one and I don’t have to learn on the job with your family, unlike my opponent. I am the BEST QUALIFIED candidate.”

ATTORNEY GERMAINE TANNER: “As a 15-year practicing attorney, I have prosecuted and defended, and in some cases, been appointed, to over 500 family law cases in Harris County involving divorces with complex property and children’s issues, child support establishment, and enforcement, custody, modifications, and appeals. I’ve served as a Mediator, Attorney ad Litem, Amicus Attorney, and Special Master. I’ve taught continuing legal education courses on family law issues to attorneys and paralegals. As a working mother, I understand the challenges of parenting, decision-making, and balance. As an attorney and a mom, I understand the everyday struggles of family life. I, like you, want what’s best for our children. When there’s a divorce, with child support and custody issues, we want the judge to have the experience to both follow the law and rule with the heart of a caring parent. I’ve spent my entire legal career assisting families in Harris County and I know that we need a judge who can draw on the wisdom learned from both professional and life experiences, to make the best decisions for our families. I am the BEST QUALIFIED and ONLY candidate who meets these qualities.”

JUDGE NATALIE C. FLEMING: “I have been practicing in the Harris County Criminal Courts for almost 30 years – first as a prosecutor with the Harris County District Attorney’s Office and later as a visiting judge and as the Presiding Judge of Harris County Criminal Court at Law Number 3 since 2010. I started the first Spanish-speaking S.O.B.E.R. Court which is an intense program designed to reduce repeat D.W.I. offenses by breaking the cycle of addiction among members of our community. As a felony prosecutor, I gained valuable experience handling serious and complicated cases on behalf of the citizens of Harris County. As a Judge, I have presided over many thousands of cases and I work hard to ensure the rights of all involved are protected. I am very honored to have had this great responsibility placed upon me by the voters of Harris County in my last two elections.

In contrast, my opponent – while seemingly a very nice lady – does not have the experience necessary to preside over this court. A simple search of the court database online shows that she has never, ever handled a case in the Harris County Criminal Courts at Law. Not one.”

ATTORNEY ERICA HUGHES: “The citizens of Harris County should vote for me because I am the best candidate for the position. Harris County deserves a candidate who is qualified in every aspect. Not only do I possess 12 years of legal experience representing the government and defense, I continue to serve my country as a commissioned officer in the United States military. I have worked for 11 years as an educator and I am currently an adjunct faculty member at San Jacinto College. These experiences have developed my perspective as an agent of change and reinforced the desire to serve my community. Harris County is the third largest County in the U.S. and should lead the charge in criminal justice reform. For far too long Harris County Criminal Judges have stood by and participated in mass incarceration, resisted bail reform, and turned a blind eye to defendants with mental illness and chemical dependence. The past 20 years have not yielded any change within Harris County. Harris County is also diverse and represents many individuals. The presiding Judges do not represent the diversity of the county and cannot relate to the current population. I will bring diversity and compassion to all on the bench. I know the criminal justice system is a necessary and vital part of our society, and I will help restore integrity, fairness, justice, and honor for all. I will be the candidate that will take a stand and lead the efforts in criminal justice reform for Harris County.”

LIEUTENANT COMMANDER DAN CRENSHAW: “Voters should vote for me because I am uniquely qualified to go to D.C. and lead, from day one.

I have led in the toughest environments, as a U.S. Navy SEAL Lieutenant Commander, where the stakes couldn’t be higher. I have worked on Capitol Hill and I have experience working across various federal agencies, including the Army Corps of Engineers, to solve our nation’s most pressing problems. Most importantly, I know this district. I literally ran across it and have talked to Texans and heard their concerns and know what they expect from their representative in Washington. A major part of my campaign has been listening to Houstonians, not only typical voters, but also those who do not have a long-established voter history. I believe that is a major reason 4,600 new voters came out on May 22nd but didn’t vote on March 6th. They came to the polls because I earned their trust. Connecting with people, and earning their trust is what getting this job is about. I will never lose sight of the fact that people are entrusting me, that I am a servant. Servant leadership is something I have always, and will continue to take seriously.”

JUSTICE MARTHA HILL JAMISON: “Experience matters, especially as a justice on the appellate courts. My court hears all appeals from Harris, Fort Bend, Brazoria and seven other surrounding counties (except death penalty cases). Even with my ten years on the trial bench, my eight years as an appellate justice and my credentials as a board-certified lawyer, I still learn something new every day. My opponent does not have the depth or breadth of experience that I have. Specific writing skills also are important for an appellate justice. Our job is to “show our work” by creating a written explanation for our legal decisions in a manner that can be understood by the public. I now have eight years’ experience in honing this skill. My opponent has none.”

Approximately half of all our cases are criminal appeals. I bring a unique perspective to this position. I am a hard-working judge with a proven track record on civil and criminal cases.

JUDGE SHERI Y. DEAN: “After college, I worked with my family’s business until, at the age of 34, I decided to become an attorney. With my husband and children, ages 8, 7 and 4, I left my home in Tyler, Texas to begin law school in Houston. During this period, I worked, took care of my family, and graduated in two and a half years from South Texas College of Law. Shortly thereafter I began my own family law firm and successfully practiced in Harris County for 18 years.

I have served as Judge for the 309th Family Court since 2010, and I want to continue the work I started. I’ve worked full time to clear backlogged cases while making sure that litigants get their day in court. And I always wait until I’ve heard all the facts and circumstances surrounding a case before making my final decision – based on the law and the Constitution.

My record and participation reflect my loyalty, commitment, and respect as a Judge and community leader. I have worked hard to expand my efforts as an elected official and public servant by working on community outreach projects to increase opportunities for families through education and unity.”

JUDGE JOHN SCHMUDE: “As the presiding Judge of the 247th Family District Court, I have disposed of more than 11,000 cases in every area of family law. I have had single days in which I handled more individual cases as a judge than my opponent has handled as a lawyer in her entire legal career. Secondly, I have made substantial progress in the 247th in ensuring that we do not impose unreasonable financial burdens on the backs of the poor such as having parties bear the cost of appointed lawyers when they cannot even afford to pay for a lawyer of their own. I have also ensured that in CPS cases, when it becomes necessary to remove children from their homes that they are placed, whenever possible, with loving family members who are ready, willing and able to provide a safe home rather than placing them in foster homes. I have a strong record of service, which includes serving in the Upward Bound program, which assists inner-city minority students to achieve their dreams of a college education. I also served Native American families from the Lakota Sioux Tribe in South Dakota in dealing with the effects of alcoholism and drug addiction.”

I am an Olympic Swimmer, an All-American swimmer and a hall of fame member. This experience shows my work ethic, discipline, and dedication to excellence.

JUDGE CATHERINE EVANS: “Elected judges should have extensive legal experience before taking the bench and making critical decisions that change lives and affect our community. As Judge of the 180th Criminal District Court since 2013 and an attorney since 2000, I have handled exclusively criminal and primarily felony cases. As a judge and an attorney, I have handled felony cases of virtually every type – from Burglary to Sexual Assault to Aggravated Robbery to Capital Murder. It is this breadth of experience along with my belief that each case should be considered individually that make me the strongest choice for the 180th bench. Through an intensive probation program, I have the opportunity to tailor probations to meet the individual needs of some of our most at-risk probationers. We cannot expect these probationers to succeed unless we address underlying issues of addiction, mental health, education, and unemployment, and I am providing opportunities for these individuals to meet those challenges. I bring focused experience and judgment to the 180th Criminal District Court that is unmatched by my challenger.”

AUBREY R. TAYLOR: Why should voters in Harris County, Texas cast their ballot for you over your opponent on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, in the Midterm Election?

JUDGE BRAD HART: “My entire 21-year career has been dedicated solely to criminal justice and the integrity of the system. I have handled every type of case that routinely comes before a  felony court, including Capital Murder. As a judge, I have maintained one of the most efficiently run courts in Harris County. The efficiency of my docket allowed for our court to have minimal disruption during Hurricane Harvey and to continue working as before the disaster. We were the first felony court to resume jury trials post-Harvey, leading the way for other courts. I am extremely proud of my Change Through Intervention Docket, helping people turn their lives around. I serve as the lead judge in implementing technology in the courts. Post-Harvey, I was named the first-ever judicial liaison to the Harris County criminal defense bar. I was also named Judge of the Year by the Texas Gang Investigators Association. The legal community routinely rates me as one of the best judges in their Bar Polls. My work, my experience and my commitment to fairness, following the law and improving the system make me the most qualified choice for this court. I hope the voters will allow me to continue my work.”

AUBREY R. TAYLOR: Why should voters in Harris County, Texas cast their ballot for you over your opponent on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, in the Midterm Election?

JUDGE DAN HINDE: “I believe voters will recognize that I bring the most experience, excellence, and leadership to the 269th District Court.

Starting with experience, I have served as the Judge of the 269th District Court for nearly 10 years, handling about 15,000 cases, so I have unmatched experience as a judge conducting trials, managing a heavy docket, and administering justice. I have tried over 280 cases, including discrimination claims, catastrophic injuries, complex commercial matters, and personal injury disputes.

Adding to this unmatched experience, I bring the highest excellence. I am the only candidate in this race who is Board Certified. Additionally, parties have rarely appealed my decisions—only about 1.4% of cases. More importantly, the error rate is tiny—only about 12% of the appealed decisions (compared to 33% for all local courts).

With this experience and excellence, I bring leadership to the courts. The judges of Texas elected me to the Board of Directors of the Texas Center for the Judiciary, which handles judicial education for all state judges.

Locally, I chair the judges’ jury committee, which oversees the jury system for 85 courts in Harris County. As chair, I led the courts’ efforts to restore the jury system after Hurricane Harvey wiped out our existing jury facilities. Working almost from scratch, we reorganized and reconfigured our jury system to ensure that the local courts could try cases again, and we did so in just 7 weeks.”

I was formally sworn into the State Bar in November 1988. I became a certified mediator in July 2002. I have spent the past 30 years litigating hundreds of cases. I have conducted trials to judges and juries. I have represented Plaintiffs and Defendants in many areas of law which will be before this Court including real estate, personal injury, business litigation, and contract law. I have served as a Commissioner in eminent domain proceedings and as guardian ad litem in civil cases. I have handled transactional matters and represented property owners in appraisal district protests and subsequent litigation. In 2006, I obtained my real estate salesperson license. I have served in a quasi-judicial role as Chairman/Commissioner of the City of Houston’s Police Officers Civil Service Commission since 2008, hearing appeals filed by police officers from disciplinary actions. I am active in the local community and dedicated to community service. My broad legal experience demonstrates fairness and impartiality. I am prepared to serve on this bench.”

JUDGE DAVID FARR: “Voters should cast their vote for me to remain the presiding Judge of the 312th Family District Court based on a verified record of judicial accomplishment joined with a broad background of public service.

The attorneys of the Houston Bar Association rated my judicial performance as superlative in the 2013, 2015 and 2017 Bar Polls. I have been board certified in Family Law since 2004 and am currently on the adjunct faculty at the University of Houston Law Center. I have received judicial excellence awards from the Burta Rhoads Raborn Inns of Court (2015); the Gulf Coast Family Law Specialists (2017). The Houston Bar Association President’s Award for Leadership (2018) was recently awarded to me for work on the courthouse flooding after Hurricane Harvey.

Additionally, I have served for over 21 years in the Texas Army National Guard and am a certified member of the Army Trial Judiciary. My military service includes active duty deployments to the peacekeeping missions in Bosnia-Herzegovina (2000) and Kosovo (2006) as well as combat operations in Iraq (2010) and domestic support operations in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina (2009) and in the Houston area after Hurricane Harvey (2017).

Prior to taking the bench, as an attorney with over 27 years of experience in probate, trust guardianship, estate planning, and elder law, I developed a reputation for handling the matters entrusted to me with diligence and integrity.

The experience I have garnered over the last thirty-five years has served me well on the bench. As I have now served as Judge of Probate Court No. 1 for almost eight years.

I also served two terms as a member of the District 4A grievance committee (which disciplines attorneys) and served as Chair in 1994.

I received my law degree from the University of Houston in 1981, and a BBA (1977 - Accounting) and MBA (1980 - Accounting/Taxation) from the University of Texas at Austin.

During my five years as judge of this court, I have been consistently rated among the best judges by the legal community in Harris County for competency, hard work, and fairness.

I have earned two board certifications from the Texas Board of Legal Specialization - in the fields of Civil Trial Law and Civil Appellate Law.

Before being sworn in as judge, I dedicated my 40-plus year legal career to representing businesses and business people in matters involving a wide variety of transactional, litigation and appellate matters. I also decided hundreds of cases as master of the Harris County tax court, and as an arbitrator.

In addition to my official duties, I teach a class about American courts at Houston Baptist University, serve as judicial liaison to the Houston Young Lawyers Association, lecture in continuing legal education programs, judge student mock trial and moot court competitions, and I remain active in Houston Bar Association activities.”

JUDGE PAULA GOODHART: “Harris County voters should expect their elected judges to exhibit integrity, experience, and leadership. As a nearly 25-year lawyer who has dedicated 100% of my career to criminal justice, I embody those characteristics and more. In the last two Houston Bar Association Judicial Qualifications Polls I ranked #1 of all the misdemeanor courts for overall outstanding and excellent scores. This ranking is significant because the folks who vote in this poll are the attorneys who practice in the court where I preside -- both prosecutors and defense attorneys. Additionally, I am the only candidate in this race with the balanced perspective of being a prosecutor, defense attorney, and judge. As a prosecutor and defense attorney, I tried more than 100 jury trials ranging from traffic tickets to capital murders. As a judge, I have presided over more than 200 jury trials and handled more than 34,000 cases in the last 8 years. When Hurricane Harvey flooded the criminal courthouse, courts had to continue running. As the presiding judge of the misdemeanor courts, elected by my colleagues, I helped lead our transition to our new "normal" courts. We moved 16 courts and opened courts to the public just two weeks after Harvey. For this effort, I along with 4 other deserving recipients, was awarded the Houston Bar Association President's Award for excellence in service during Harvey. I am the most qualified and experienced choice for this bench.”

I have fifteen years of legal experience in the mental health area and two decades of experience as a judge in the area. My opponent's experience is ZERO!

I choose to stand on a platform of values that make us all better individuals, and therefore a better society. I’m not running a campaign to represent 3 or 4 groups of people who have the monopoly in the social justice war this election. The campaign is to represent everyone, and to vigilantly fight for the issues in the district. Regardless of party lines, it will be my duty to listen to the district. That means town halls and prompt case management. A majority of my district speaks Spanish in the home, and I'm fluent in Spanish. Unfortunately, my opponent can't say the same, and she just chases wherever the social justice wind blows, while the people continue to suffer in the district. Vote for presence, and issue-driven leadership. That’s what I offer.”

ATTORNEY JOHN SPJUT: “Qualifications and experience are the major issues in this race. My Democrat opponent has no experience in criminal law, and in my opinion, is not prepared to handle the rigors of this office. In contrast, I have over 23 years of experience as an attorney, with extensive litigation experience, and 30 years of law enforcement experience with HPD as a Master Police Officer. After becoming a lawyer, I served as Chief of HPD’s FAST Team, closing down high-crime nuisance properties, and as Legal Services attorney for the Chief. After retiring, I continued my litigation practice working primarily in the juvenile courts trying thousands of contested matters representing parents and children in CPS lawsuits.

The majority of criminal cases filed are misdemeanors, and a great many of these involve youthful offenders. In my two careers, I’ve seen many people go through the justice system repeatedly. I believe judges have an unparalleled opportunity to stop the revolving door. Many people struggle with addiction, mental illness, and poverty. Treatment and evidence-based interventions help people put their lives back together and become productive members of society. I will bring this passion and focus to the office of judge of Harris County Criminal Court No. 12.”

“DC” CALDWELL: “My desire to make a positive difference qualifies me as the best of two candidates for Justice of the Peace Precinct 7, Place 2. Even Democrat voters should choose me, DC Caldwell, over my Democrat opponent. I want to make improvements, but she has said she does not. I asked her directly, "What do you plan to do differently to improve how the court is run?" Her answer is, and I quote, “Not a thing” (Monday, July 9, 2018), so I thank her for answering. I believe, as does everyone else that I have asked, that our judicial system has room for refinement, progress, or much-needed change by any name. In fact, we all agree it is fair to call our system broken. 

Furthermore, our courts can easily improve if judges diligently strive to serve beyond the minimum duties imposed by law. For example, like when I was a school teacher giving morning tutorials and homework help, I would expect to start early, not having people waiting for me to arrive, and to have planning, record-keeping, and conferences at the end of the day, even staying late.”
