Judge Jim Kovach, Several Other Local Democratic Judges Stepped in to Help Families Affected by Winter Storm Uri
AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©
Natural disasters don’t discriminate. Listen, Natural Disasters like Winter Storm Uri that just swept through Texas don’t care about political affiliations, socio-economic statuses, or any of the other stuff that sometimes has a way of pitting Americans against one another during election years. Nope, when people are in serious need after a natural disaster, good people set politics aside, come together, join hands, and get to work. That being said, I would like to thank the folks over at Pride Houston for springing into action on Sunday, February 21, 2021. I would also like to thank Judge Jim Kovach, Judge Shannon Baldwin, Judge Jason Cox, Judge Beau Miller, and Judge Jerry Simoneaux for partnering with Pride Houston in their effort to help local families affected by Winter Storm Uri. Oh, in case you don’t know, Judge Jim Kovach is the presiding judge for Harris County Civil Court at Law No. 2. Judge Shannon Baldwin is the presiding Judge for Harris County Criminal Court at Law No. 4. Judge Jason Cox is the presiding judge for Harris County Probate Court No. 3. And Judge Jerry Simoneaux is the presiding judge for Harris County Probate Court No. 1. Now, that being said, there was nothing political about this humanitarian effort. But don't take my word for it, below are a few highlights that were captured by Donte' Elliott, a local photographer who covered the event for Houston Business Connections Newspaper© to highlight these hardworking local judges.

Nominating the Wrong Candidates on "SUPER TUESDAY" Could Have Disastrous Consequences in the November 2022 General Election in Harris County
AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©
Make no mistake about it, who the people of Harris County, Texas chooses to give another term to in 2022 must be about substance, job performance, judicial temperament, competence, and whether or not our members of the judiciary are following the law with their rulings. And that being said, in 2022, it is incumbent upon the voters of Harris County to evaluate the job performance of each and every sitting "ELECTED OFFICIAL" on a case-by-case basis and not as a group based on their political party affiliation, ethnicity or gender.
THINKING ABOUT RUNNING?
If you are a candidate planning to run for office in 2022, you have to select the right candidate to run against. And the second most important thing to understand is that you have to select your race early, to avoid ending up in a crowded field of candidates on "SUPER TUESDAY" in Harris County, Texas. So, if you need assistance trying to determine which race to enter, please call (281)788-3033, and I will do my very best to answer any questions you may have.

595,221 TOTAL (HC) VOTES IN THE 2018 MIDTERMS – Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo is the (Incumbent Democrat) currently serving as Harris County Judge. Judge Hidalgo is pictured above with Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis. Now, in case you don’t know, Lina Hidalgo did not have to face off against a Democratic opponent back on Tuesday, March 6, 2018, in the Democratic Party Primary. However, though she did not have an opponent, 131,958 Democratic Party Primary voters still cast their vote for her to be the Democratic nominee. That being said, when the Tuesday, November 6, 2018, general election rolled around, she got the fewest number of votes of any Democratic candidate who was running in a countywide race in Harris County, Texas. So, for the record, the general election race for Harris County Judge ended up being a race between Lina Hidalgo (Democrat), Ed Emmett (the sitting Republican Harris County Judge at the time) and a Libertarian candidate by the name of Eric Gatlin. What you have to remember about the race for Harris County Judge back in 2018, is that straight-ticket voting was allowed back then. And due to straight-ticket voting, Lina Hidalgo enjoyed a 105,158 straight-ticket voting advantage over Ed Emmett. And having a Libertarian candidate in the race who receive 24,634 votes was a huge factor that contributed greatly to helping Lina Hidalgo unseat Ed Emmett by 19,277 votes – which was the smallest margin of victory of any Democrat running countywide on the ballot back on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, in the general election.
***Judge Lesley Briones is the Presiding Judge, for County Civil Court at Law No. 4, in Harris County, Texas. Judge Lesley Briones is pictured above with Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis (left) and former Harris County Constable Perry Wooten (right) while on the campaign trail. She was initially appointed to this bench by Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis (left) and his fellow Democrats on Commissioner’s Court after William “Bill” McLeod (the sitting judge at the time) triggered his own resignation. Judge Briones soundly defeated former Judge William “Bill” McLeod back on Tuesday, March 3, 2020, when he tried to reclaim the seat he accidently resigned from by announcing his candidacy to run for higher office only a short time after he had taken the bench. And when the Tuesday, November 3, 2020, general election rolled around, Judge Lesley Briones put on a dominant performance against Clyde Raymond Leuchtag, the former Republican judge, who lost his seat to William “Bill” McLeod back during the Tuesday, November 6, 2018, general election. All of that being said, Judge Lesley Briones has done an outstanding job since taking the bench and with the shortage of Latina judges in Harris County, Texas, she should be allowed to through the 2022 Midterm Election, nomination process unchallenged. There’s absolutely no reason for any Democrat to challenge Judge Lesley Briones on Tuesday, March 1, 2022, in the Democratic Party Primary.
*** Judge Genesis E. Draper is the Presiding Judge, for Harris County Criminal Court-At-Law No. 12. She was appointed to this bench by Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis and his fellow Democrats on Commissioner’s Court after the untimely death of Judge Cassandra Hollemon. Based on her dismal showing in the Tuesday, November 3, 2020, general election, she could draw several challengers in the Tuesday, March 1, 2022, Democratic Party Primary -- and rightfully so. In fact, Judge Draper may be one of the most vulnerable Democrat judges on the entire Tuesday, March 1, 2022, Democratic Primary ballot. How can I say this? Well, back on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, in the presidential election, while her fellow Democratic comrades where handily defeating their Republican rivals, Judge Genesis Draper allowed her Republican challenger, former Judge Linda Garcia to beat her in the Election Day turnout category. She performed very poorly against former Judge Linda Garcia who happened to be a Latina female. So, if there's a “DULY-QUALIFIED” Latina lawyer out there who is looking for a seat to challenge in 2022 – Harris County Criminal Court-At-Law No. 12 just might be your best chance. And in my opinion, the right Latina (Democratic) female attorney should be able to take this bench away from Judge Genesis Draper on Tuesday, March 1, 2022, in the Democratic Party Primary. But don't take my word for it -- the numbers don't lie! Back on Election Day, former Judge Linda Garcia (Republican) received 95,628 votes, for 51.49% of the Election Day voter turnout. Comparatively speaking, Judge Genesis Draper (Democrat) only received 90,090 votes, for 48.51% of the Election Day voter turnout. So, while Judge Genesis Draper did go on to win her race (primarily because of her Democratic Party affiliation) she did so by the smallest margin of victory when compared to the other Democrats who were running for a local judicial bench on the Tuesday, November 3, 2020, presidential election ballot.
***Judge David M. Patronella is the (Incumbent Democrat) who currently serves as the Justice of the Peace, Precinct 1, Place 2, in Harris County, Texas. He ran for this bench unopposed back in the Tuesday, March 6, 2018, Democratic Party Primary. And since this is pretty much a “DEMOCRATIC STRONGHOLD” he appeared on the Tuesday, November 6, 2018, general election ballot without a Republican opponent. So, in other words, it’s highly likely that the Democratic nominee from the Tuesday, March 1, 2022, Democratic Party Primary should go on to win the race for Justice of the Peace, Precinct 1, Place 2, in the 2022 Midterm Election, in Harris County, Texas.
***Judge George E. Risner is the (Incumbent Democrat) who currently serves as the Justice of the Peace, Precinct 2, Place 2, in Harris County, Texas. He ran for this bench unopposed back in the Tuesday, March 6, 2018, Democratic Party Primary. And since this is pretty much a “DEMOCRATIC STRONGHOLD” he appeared on the Tuesday, November 6, 2018, general election ballot without a Republican opponent. So, in other words, it’s highly likely that the Democratic nominee from the Tuesday, March 1, 2022, Democratic Party Primary should go on to win the race for Justice of the Peace, Precinct 2, Place 2, in the 2022 Midterm Election, in Harris County, Texas.
***Judge Lucia Bates is the (Incumbent Democrat) who currently serves as the Justice of the Peace, Precinct 3, Place 2, in Harris County, Texas. Judge Lucia Bates unseated Judge Don Coffey back on Tuesday, March 6, 2018, in the Democratic Party Primary. And since this is pretty much a “DEMOCRATIC STRONGHOLD” she appeared on the Tuesday, November 6, 2018, general election ballot without a Republican opponent. So, in other words, it’s highly likely that the Democratic nominee from the Tuesday, March 1, 2022, Democratic Party Primary should go on to win the race for Justice of the Peace, Precinct 3, Place 2, in the 2022 Midterm Election, in Harris County, Texas.
***Judge Angela D. Rodriguez is the (Incumbent Democrat) who currently serves as the Justice of the Peace, Precinct 6, Place 2, in Harris County, Texas. Judge Angela D. Rodriguez is pictured above with several of her supporters at a Judicial Reception. She ran for this bench unopposed back in the Tuesday, March 6, 2018, Democratic Party Primary. And since this is pretty much a “DEMOCRATIC STRONGHOLD” she appeared on the Tuesday, November 6, 2018, general election ballot without a Republican opponent. So, in other words, it’s highly likely that the Democratic nominee from the Tuesday, March 1, 2022, Democratic Party Primary should go on to win the race for Justice of the Peace, Precinct 6, Place 2, in the 2022 Midterm Election, in Harris County, Texas.
***Judge Sharon M. Burney is the (Incumbent Democrat) who currently serves as the Justice of the Peace, Precinct 7, Place 2, in Harris County, Texas. Judge Sharon M. Burney finished first in the race for Justice of the Peace, Precinct 7, Place, 2 against Audrie Lawton, Cheryl Elliott Thornton, and Ray Shackelford back on Tuesday, March 6, 2018, in the Democratic Party Primary. However, since neither candidate received a majority of the vote, Burney ended up facing off against Cheryl Elliott Thornton, the second place finisher in a Democratic Party Primary runoff election that she ended up winning. When the Tuesday, November 6, 2018, general election rolled around, Sharon Burney faced off against a Republican by the name of “DC” Caldwell whom she demolished. How bad did she beat her Republican opponent? Well, in case you don’t know, Sharon Burney received 80,820 votes, for 87.07% of the vote. Comparatively speaking, “DC” Caldwell only received 12,003 votes, for 12.93% of the vote. So, since this is pretty much a “DEMOCRATIC STRONGHOLD” it’s highly likely that the Democratic nominee from the Tuesday, March 1, 2022, Democratic Party Primary should go on to win the race for Justice of the Peace, Precinct 7, Place 2, in the 2022 Midterm Election, in Harris County, Texas.
