Judge Maria T. Jackson and Judge Michelle Slaughter are Two Candidates Texas Voters Not Voting A Straight-Ticket Should Consider


Judge Maria T. Jackson (left) will be one of the top Democratic statewide vote-getters on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, in the Lone Star State. Judge Jackson is seeking to become the first African American female to serve as Presiding Judge for the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals -- which is the highest court for criminal appeals in the State of Texas. Judge Michelle Slaughter (center), pictured with Lt. Col. Allen West, is expected to win and win big. In case you don't know, Judge Michelle Slaughter does not have a Democratic opponent running against her, and is expected to roll to victory over her Libertarian opponent (Mark Ash) on Tuesday, November 6, 2018. On the contrary, Judge Maria T. Jackson, while also duly-qualified, faces an uphill battle in her quest to make history -- but a win is possible. However, to win, Judge Jackson will have to do what no other Democrat has done since the 1994 Gubernatorial Election -- win a statewide race running as a Democrat in Texas. But to understand the difficulty of the task Judge Maria T. Jackson has chosen to undertake you have to first understand that Republicans currently hold every statewide elected office and majorities in the state senate, state house and on the state board of education. All total, Republicans hold majorities in 107 of the 254 Texas counties that contain nearly two-thirds of the state’s population. So as you prepare to make an informed voting decision, please be reminded that both Judge Maria T. Jackson and Judge Michelle Slaughter won the highly-coveted State Bar Poll earlier this year -- and are both proven winners in their own right. But something absolutely remarkable about Judge Jackson's 2018 State Bar Poll victory is that this very distinguished group of highly-respected "STATE BAR OF TEXAS" members from across the State of Texas voted for her over the current Presiding Judge for the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals (Judge Sharon Keller) and the very highly-respected jurist (Judge David Bridges) who currently serves on the 5th Court of Appeals in Texas. So, as a backdrop to the upcoming showdown between Judge Maria T. Jackson, and Judge Sharon Keller, you have to keep in mind that Judge Keller was nearly defeated in a dogfight with Judge Bridges back on Tuesday, March 6, 2018, in the Republican Party Primary when he surprised her by garnering 618,982 statewide votes for 47.84% of the vote, to Judge Sharon Keller's 674,889 statewide votes for 52.16% of the vote. And just in case you're wondering how many votes Judge Maria T. Jackson received, well, Judge Jackson garnered (878,581) votes, which was the #3 highest amount of votes received by any Democrat running statewide on the 2018 Texas Democratic Party Primary ticket. So, as a refresher, the #1 statewide Democratic vote-getter was Justin Nelson who received (888,444) votes and is running for Attorney General. And the #2 statewide Democratic vote-getter was Kim Olson who received (883,575) votes and is running for Agriculture Commissioner.

Judge Maria T. Jackson and Judge Michelle Slaughter are Two Statewide Candidates Swing-Voters Should Strongly Consider says Aubrey R. Taylor, publisher of Houston Business Connections Newspaper©

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

If you're voting a straight-party ticket on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, this report won't be of very much use to you. However, if you are an "OPEN-MINDED VOTER" searching for "DULY-QUALIFIED JUDICIAL CANDIDATES" who value every vote, Judge Maria T. Jackson, a Democrat running for Presiding Judge, Court of Criminal Appeals and Judge Michelle Slaughter, a Republican running for Judge, Court of Criminal Appeals, Place 8 may be just the kind of candidates you're searching for in the 2018 Midterm Election in Texas.

JUDGE JACKSON VALUES EVERY VOTE

As statewide contests go in Texas, Democrats have had a tough go of it in the Lone Star State since 1994. In case you don’t know, no Democrat has even come close to winning a statewide contest in a “MIDTERM ELECTION” or “PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION” since Governor Ann W. Richards the last Democratic governor of Texas lost her seat to George W. Bush. And today, according to published information, Republicans hold every statewide elected office and majorities in the state senate, state house and on the state board of education. And they also hold majorities in 107 Texas counties that contain nearly two-thirds of the state’s population. But can a Democrat win in Texas? The turnout numbers say yes, but to do so, it must be a Democratic candidate who can draw votes in rural Texas as well as in the metropolitan areas across Texas. With that said, enter Judge Maria T. Jackson, a Democratic District Judge out of Harris County, Texas who is well-liked and respected by a bunch of folks from both major political parties. Judge Jackson in several election cycles in Harris County that she has a strong Democratic base, and can draw support from conservative-leaning swing-voters as well. She's also proven that she has the temperament to handle tough cases, and has what it takes to administer even-handed justice in a fair and impartial manner as well in my opinion. Sure, she's on the ballot as a Democrat, but a closer look at a few of the non-partisan endorsements she been receiving points to a credible statewide Democratic candidate who could actually surprise a lot of folks on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, in the Midterm Election.

In case you haven’t been keeping track, earlier this year, Judge Maria T. Jackson rocked Texas when she won the State Bar of Texas’ 2018 Judicial Poll over current Presiding Judge of the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals Sharon Keller, a Republican, Judge David Bridges, a Republican, and William Bryan Strange III a Libertarian. The final tally went down like this, Judge Maria T. Jackson received (1,581) votes to finish first. Judge Sharon Keller received (1,444) votes to finish second. Judge David Bridges received (620) votes to finish third. And William Bryan Strange III, finished fourth to finish fourth.

WINNING THE TEXAS BAR POLL IS A BIG DEAL

Unlike partisan endorsements, winning the Texas Bar Poll is a huge deal for candidates who are hoping to win in November. You have to remember, that attorneys who practice inside Texas courts know the temperament of judges much better than many of us ever will. And what I like most about the Texas Bar Poll is that these top-flight attorneys aren’t just voting for judicial candidates based on their political party affiliation. Nope, to be sure, the members of the State Bar of Texas are given an opportunity to vote on candidates in their respective courts of appeals races as well as statewide races and appear to be casting their votes based on qualifications, and not party affiliations. Even though the results should not be misconstrued as endorsements of any particular candidate by the State Bar of Texas, its officers, directors, or staff – the winning candidates should, however, be considered by Texas voters who are on a quest to elect the “BEST QUALIFIED” candidates. 




Judge Jackson is one of the Top Democrats on the 2018 Democratic Statewide Ticket says Aubrey R. Taylor, publisher of Houston Business Connections Magazine©

One of the top statewide Democratic candidates on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, Midterm Election ballot in Texas, Judge Maria T. Jackson should garner votes from non-straight ticket voters from both major political parties, independents and Libertarians too in my opinion. In case you don’t already know, only two Democratic candidates received more statewide votes than Judge Maria T. Jackson back in the Tuesday, March 6, 2018, Democratic Primary. The #1 statewide Democratic vote-getter was Justin Nelson (888,444) who is running for Attorney General. The #2 statewide Democratic vote-getter was Kim Olson (883,575) who is running for Agriculture Commissioner. And our very own Judge Maria T. Jackson (878,581) was the #3 statewide vote-getter back in the Tuesday, March 6, 2018, Democratic Party Primary in Texas. So, if you're out there looking for a candidate who is experienced, fair, and ready to administer blind-fold justice in cases brought before the highest court for criminal appeals in the State of Texas – look no further than Judge Maria T. Jackson on Tuesday, November 6, 2018.



Judge Michelle Slaughter, Picture with Lt. Col. Allen West is Expected to Roll to Victory on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, says Aubrey R. Taylor, publisher of Houston Business Connections Magazine©

I'm expecting for Judge Michelle Slaughter to roll to victory over her Libertarian Party challenger on Tuesday, November 6, 2018. After all, she's already faced her toughest challenge, which was to win the Republican nomination. And she did so in good-fashion over two worthy fellow Republicans back in the Tuesday, March 6, 2018, Republican Party Primary. So, as a refresher, Judge Michelle Slaughter received more votes than both her Republican Party Primary opponents combined by garnering 669,949 statewide votes, while Jay Brandon received 389,753 statewide votes, and Dib Waldrip received 208,179 statewide votes respectively. Again, I'm expecting for Judge Michelle Slaughter to handily defeat Mark Ash, her Libertarian challenger. So, if you're out there looking for a constitutional conservative judge and originalist who has presided over thousands of felony criminal cases and well over a hundred felony criminal jury trials ranging from state-jail felonies to capital murder cases you should look no further than Judge Michelle Slaughter2018 Candidate for Judge, Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, Place 8 on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, in the Lone Star State.

HBC MAGAZINE©REPORTS

In case you haven’t heard, the State Bar of Texas announced results of its statewide 2018 Judicial Poll recently. Members of the State Bar of Texas were given an opportunity to vote on candidates in their respective courts of appeals races as well as statewide races. The results are in no way an endorsement of any candidate by the State Bar of Texas, its officers, directors, or staff. The results reflect the opinions of the individual lawyers who voted. “In all actuality, the lawyers are essentially the ones who know these judicial candidates best,” says Aubrey R. Taylor, publisher of Houston Business Connections Magazine©. “In my opinion, the State Bar of Texas 2018 Judicial Poll is a prestigious acknowledgment and should be cherished by every candidate recognized as winners.”


“I believe a candidate’s body of endorsements should matter, but I’m imploring voters to give credence to the final results contained in the 2018 State Bar of Texas Judicial Poll,” explains Taylor. “After all, what higher honor is there than for a judge to be deemed “THE BEST CANDIDATE” in a given race by the lawyers who practice before them on a regular basis,” asks Taylor.
