On Wednesday, July 23, 2025, @ 1:00PM, Hall of Fame KCOH Broadcaster Ralph Cooper will interview Investigative Reporter Aubrey R. Taylor, live on air, unscripted. During this two-hour interview, Aubrey R. Taylor will pay a special tribute to "GERRY WAYNE MONROE," better known as the "5-STAR GENERAL," and discuss his life legacy and untimely death. The current 18th Congressional District "REDISTRICTING BATTLE," and next year's 2026 Midterm Election will also be a key topic of discussion, along with his sweeping investigation into "ELECTION FRAUD," which has been launched by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, into Harris County, Texas.
On Saturday, March 15, 2025, Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee, after being reluctant to resign from his cushy job making over $199,160.00 per year as the Harris County Attorney, decided to leave the funeral for Congressman Sylvester Turner before the dirt was poured over his casket. A short time after leaving Congressman Turner's funeral, County Attorney Christian Menefee triggered his resignation by announcing his candidacy to run for the 18th Congressional District of Texas.
"TWO DIRTY BOYS."
County Attorney Christian Menefee had a lot of promise when he took office. However, Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee may be showing up for work at his day job, serving as the Harris County Attorney, while simultaneously using his cellphone to make fundraising calls for his 18th Congressional Campaign. Meanwhile, Commissioner Rodney Ellis, if you recall, was in hot water in the Texas Legislature after his Republican Senate colleagues discovered over $500,000.00 missing from his campaign account. While Commissioner Rodney Ellis acknowledged that $500,000.00 in campaign funds had vanished from his campaign account, Senator Ellis claimed that he had lost the money by investing in the stock market, but later regained the cash through other stock-related purchases, which is illegal in Texas, because campaign money cannot be used to make risky investments in the New York Stock Exchange.

Gerry Wayne Monroe is gone, but not forgotten. His life, death, and legacy will be the highlight of a "SPECIAL LIVE BROADCAST" and two-hour commentary segment on Wednesday, July 23, 2025, at 1:00 P.M., along with other information pertinent to the African American Community related to the 18th Congressional District, Redistricting in Texas, and the upcoming race for Harris County Democratic Party Chairman between Attorney Traci Gibson, and Mike Doyle, the current Harris County Democratic Party Chairman and Treasurer. A few suspicious deaths appear to have benefited Commissioner Rodney Ellis and his political regime in Harris County, Texas. I promise to bring a new perspective and enlighten the "BLACK COMMUNITY" about what my investigative team and I uncovered in the deaths of Gerry Wayne Monroe, Alan Vera, Officer Fredrick Portis, and Tamoria Jones, and how their untimely deaths have impacted my life and mission.

Gerry Wayne Monroe, better known as "THE 5-STAR GENERAL," would roll over in his grave if we allow Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis to use his puppet, Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee, to seize control of the 18th Congressional District of Texas. That said, I still can't believe that none of our "BLACK ELECTED OFFICIALS," who claim to care about our people, dared to ask any questions when Tamoria Jones's lifeless body was dumped off by three men, with all those cameras around. And what about the string of suspicious deaths featured below?
Gerry Wayne Monroe, better known as the “5-STAR GENERAL,” was found dead at his home on Sunday, April 30, 2023, after suffering a ‘sudden heart attack’ according to his common-law wife, Ericka Albert. In the days leading up to his death, Gerry Wayne Monroe had traveled to Austin, Texas, the state capital, to testify before the state senate and expose a Democratic operative. He was also working on a federal civil lawsuit that he was planning to file against a group of local Democrats. A few hours before he was found dead, Monroe had sent out a TWEET stating, “Cheating on the STAAR test at Henderson Elementary. Principal backing teachers on checking the students' tests as they go. Sent K-2nd on a field trip and let teachers test their own kids and check their tests.”
Former HCC Officer Fredrick Portis whose "SWORN AFFIDAVIT" alluded to “Democrat” Sheriff Ed Gonzalez ‘allegedly’ assaulting his wife (Dr. Melissa Gonzalez) after Sheriff Gonzalez discovered that his wife was ‘allegedly’ having an affair with her boss (Dr. Cesar Maldonado), the disgraced HCC Chancellor, was found dead in his police vehicle in uniform unresponsive, in the passenger seat, with his lights on, back on Thursday, May 25, 2023. According to published reports, Sgt. Portis, who was employed with the Waller County Constable’s Office at the time of his death, was found in the 12400 block of West Little York Road in Houston, Texas. Now, if you remember, it was Officer Fredrick Portis's "SWORN AFFIDAVIT" that was provided to members of the United States Senate that ultimately prevented Sheriff Ed Gonzalez from becoming the director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
According to Officer Fredrick Portis's "SWORN AFFIDAVIT," Sheriff Ed Gonzalez's wife, Dr. Melissa Gonzalez, wanted to file charges against her husband, Sheriff Ed Gonzalez, after he allegedly physically assaulted her. Dr. Cesar Maldonado utilized his position as Chancellor of Houston Community College to intervene in the matter, as Officer Portis's supervisor at the time. You can "CLICK HERE" to view his affidavit that was sworn to under penalty of perjury.
Gerry Wayne Monroe, the Five Star General, loved Yates High School and cared deeply about education and local politics. He will always be remembered as the "5-STAR GENERAL," a true community activist who cared about children and the future of the 18th Congressional District of Texas. There's no doubt about it, there will never be another Gerry Wayne Monroe. That said, Gerry would roll over in his grave if I allowed Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis and Christian Menefee to trick the people of the 18th Congressional District into electing Christian Menefee on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, in the "SPECIAL ELECTION," to succeed former Congressman Sylvester Turner.
Harris County Christian Menefee, according to multiple sources, has been allegedly using his cell phone to make fundraising calls while being paid by taxpayers. According to "OPEN PAYROLLS," back in 2023, Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee is making over $199,160 per year, and was the 55th highest paid county employee. That said, while State Rep. Jolanda Jones only makes $600 per month, or $7,200 per year, plus a per diem of $221 for every day the Legislature is in session, she's been playing by the book, while County Attorney Christian Menfee may have been using his county salary to undergird him. As Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee runs for the 18th Congressional District of Texas, he has been making donor calls at the expense of taxpayers. This story is still developing, but Aubrey R. Taylor Communications has obtained proof from the call log of one of the potential donors, Christian Menefee, who called at 2:41 p.m. on Thursday, June 12, 2025, to request a $500.00 donation to his congressional campaign.
Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson currently serves as the Councilwoman for Houston City Council District B. According to a source, Houston City Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson recently received a phone call from Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee, asking for her endorsement in the race for the 18th Congressional District of Texas. She refused to endorse County Attorney Christian Menefee and is now facing negative articles being published about her in the Houston Chronicle newspaper to disparage her good name. It is too early to determine if Commissioner Rodney Ellis and Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee are the culprits behind the "SMEAR CAMPAIGN" launched against Councilwoman Jackson, but Aubrey R. Taylor Communications will closely monitor this developing story.
Former Houston Lawyers Association (HLA) President Traci A. Gibson (second from left) recently closed out her term for the 2024-2025 cycle on a high note, according to her "IMPACT REPORT," which my investigative team and I recently reviewed. Attorney Traci A. Gibson increased revenue by bringing in more than $300,000.00, which represented a 22 percent increase. On Monday, July 7, 2025, attorney Traci A. Gibson signed up to run against Mike Doyle in next year's Tuesday, March 3, 2026, Democratic Party Primary race for Harris County Democratic Party Chairman.

Traci A. Gibson is a Much Better Option than Mike Doyle; Paxton Has Already Set His Sights on Harris County, Texas
AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has set his sights on Harris County, Texas, as he plans to tackle the issue of voter fraud. General Paxton recently announced that he is launching a "sweeping investigation" into more than 100 potential noncitizens who cast over 200 ballots in the 2020 and 2022 election cycles.
The majority of the suspected illegal ballots being investigated were in Harris County. Still, the Office of the Attorney General is also investigating possible instances in Guadalupe, Cameron, and Eastland counties using information obtained from the Texas Secretary of State.
"KAY SHEPARD."
Who in the hell made Kay Shepard the go-to woman for fundraising for the Harris County Democratic Party? And who likes this Kay Shepard woman, anyway? If you recall when Mike Doyle was elected to succeed Odus Evabagaru as the Harris County Democratic Party Chairman in March 2023, it was Kay Shepard who nominated Doyle. However, that does not mean that Mike Doyle or Kay Shepard should be allowed to attack other Democrats, like she did Lieutenant Colonel Judge DaSean Jones, unchecked.
When did Mike Doyle make Kay Shepard the chief fundraiser for the Harris County Democratic Party? Perhaps this is why the Harris County Democratic Party is facing financial difficulties, and Mike Doyle is having to take out loans from Frost Bank to keep the HCDP afloat.
"DALLAS JONES."
In case you are not aware, Dallas Jones, the owner of Elite Change, Inc., has been allegedly involved in "BALLOT HARVESTING" schemes for years. During the 2020 Presidential Election, Dallas Jones was hired as the Texas Political Director for the "Biden/HARRIS" presidential campaign. Still, his efforts were cut short after, according to private investigators who had surveillance on him, he was picked up by the FBI from his home, and possibly interrogated for more than a week.
If you haven't noticed, Dallas Jones no longer has any local political clients knocking down his door, now that my investigative team has been involved. I connected the dots between Dallas Jones and notorious mail ballot harvesters, such as Evelyn Dupree, whom Dallas Jones and his political clients used to facilitate many of their alleged mail ballot exploits leading up to the 2020 Presidential Election.
"GERALD WOMACK."
For decades, Gerald Womack, the owner of Womack Development & Investment Realtors, served as the mail ballot harvesting "KING PIN" for Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee and other members of Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis's political machine. However, during the 2020 Presidential Election cycle, my team and I were able to infiltrate Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee's ballot harvesting operation with the help of the late Sheree Harris Fisher, who provided my investigative team with valuable insight into the inner workings of Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee's mail ballot harvesting operation, which was headquartered at 4412 Almeda Road, Houston, Texas 77004, which is where Womack Development & Investment Realtors is headquarted.
The chief mail ballot harvester for Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee's re-election bids, whom Gerald Womack would hire to do his dirty work, was/is Gloria Palmer, a notorious, former prostitute and convicted forger, who specializes in signing fraudulent mail ballot applications.
Attorney General Ken Paxton is very familiar with Gloria Palmer because his Office was planning a potential raid on Gerald Womack's 4412 Almeda Road, Houston, Texas 77004, Womack Development & Investment Realtors, headquarters, before the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals ruled 8-1 against Paxton, finding that his office needed to get permission from the local District Attorney (Kim Ogg), before coming into Harris County, Texas, to conduct the raid on the ballot harvesting operations.
It is unclear how much Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee knew about Gerald Womack's hiring of notorious mail ballot harvesters to assist her in her re-election campaign. Still, Gerald Womack was clearly the facilitator of the illegal and criminal operation.
It was Sheree Harris Fisher who informed my investigative team and me that Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee's Campaign was harvesting mail ballots during the Tuesday, March 3, 2020, Democratic Party Primary race for the 18th Congressional District of Texas.
As a refresher, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee received 6,202 absentee mail ballots with the help of Gloria Palmer, who ran the illegal harvesting operation at the direction of Gerald Womack, who was acting as Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee's Campaign Manager.
During the 2020 Democratic Party Primary, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee's Campaign ran an illegal mail ballot harvesting operation, which involved the stealing of identities of elderly voters and dead voters, in the commission of federal mail fraud and other alleged crimes.
"MIKE DOYLE."
I’ve been telling everyone who would listen that Mike Doyle, the chairman and treasurer of the Harris County Democratic Party, does not give a damn about Black people. Sure, he has a few cronies like Kay Shepard, but beyond handing a handful of low-level African Americans a little chump change, Mike Doyle hasn't done anything for our people. For my life, I cannot figure out why “AFRICAN AMERICAN LEADERS” have not stepped up to the plate and called for Mike Doyle to resign.
Over in Fort Bend County, Texas, they quickly dispatched of Fred Taylor, their African American male party chairman, at the first sign of trouble, claiming he made more than $97,866.15 in unauthorized purchases and violated the Fort Bend County Democratic Party's bylaws.
But what about Mike Doyle's dirty dealings? Mike Doyle sabotaged the campaigns of local “BLACK DEMOCRATIC JUDGES” as part of a grander scheme to purge local “BLACK JUDGES” from local Harris County, Texas, judicial benches. What about that? Why is Mike Doyle still serving as chairman and Treasurer for the Harris County Democratic Party?
Today, I come bearing complete, unadulterated proof that Mike Doyle has run the Harris County Democratic Party into the ground and needs to resign for Democrats to have a chance to win some of the countywide judicial races next year on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, in the General Election.
The campaign finance report filed by Mike Doyle last night is deeply troubling to me. The Harris County Democratic Party appears to be being kept afloat by Mike Doyle, the chairman and treasurer, who is taking out loans from Frost Bank. Mike Doyle took out a loan on February 11, 2025, for $19,000.00, which must be paid back by December 5, 2025.
And then, on June 11, 2025, Mike Doyle appears to have been forced to take out another loan for $56,000.00, which must be repaid to Frost Bank by December 5, 2025. Last year, Mike Doyle sent $100,000.00 out of the HCDP, "CEC BANK ACCOUNT," over to his buddy at the Utah Democratic Party. Remember me talking about that?
What's troubling is that, in a few months, on December 5, 2025, the Harris County Democratic Party will be required to repay $75,000.00 in loans to Frost Bank. That said, based on the Campaign Finance Report that Mike Doyle filed yesterday with the Texas Secretary of State, the Harris County Democratic Party has only $13,030.36 in cash on hand.

The two loans taken out by Mike Doyle on behalf of the Harris County Democratic Party total more than $75,000.00 and must be repaid by Friday, December 5, 2025. However, we have still not been able to locate the $61,700.00 that Mike Doyle claimed to have received as a donation from Gilberto Hinojosa during the 2024 Presidential Election cycle.
Mike Doyle (left), who serves as the chairman and treasurer for the Harris County Democratic Party, claimed under penalty of perjury that he received a $61,700.00 donation from Gilberto Hinojosa, who was serving 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 inspecting 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.
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?
CONCERNING DONATIONS...
