Early Voting Turnout Numbers Through the First Five Days of Early Voting for the Saturday, December 9, 2017 Runoffs


Today, Tuesday December 5, 2017 is the last day of Early Voting for HCCS District IX, HISD District I, and HISD District III Runoffs

HBC MAGAZINE© REPORTS

The early voting turnout for the Saturday, December 9, 2017 Runoff Elections for the HCCS Board Trustee for District IX race between Dr. Pretta VanDible Stallworth and Eugene Pack; the HISD Board Trustee for District I runoff between Elizabeth Santos and Gretchen Himsl; and the HISD Board Trustee for District III (Unexpired Term) runoff between Sergio Lira and Jesse A. Rodriguez is downright disappointing heading into the final day of early voting.

EARLY VOTING RUNDOWN THROUGH THE FIRST FIVE DAYS OF EARLY VOTING

Thus far only (39) thirty-nine registered voters have voted in person at the Harrris County Administration Building. Only (120) one-hundred twenty registered voters have voted early in person at the Hiram Clarke Multi-Service Center. Only (314) three-hundred fourteen registered voters have voted early in person at the Metropoitan Multi-Service Center. Only (27) twenty-seven registered voters have voted early in person at the Hardy Senior Center. Only (241) two-hundred and forty-one registered voters have voted early in person at the HCCS Southeast College. Only (68) sixty-eight registered voters have voted early in person at the Fiesta Mart. Only (90) ninety registered voters have voted early in person at the Sunnyside Multi-Service Center. Only (45) forty-five voters have voted early in person at the (Palm Center) Young Neighborhood Library. And only (331) three-hundred and thirty one registered voters have voted early in person at the Moody Park Community Center.

EARLY VOTING COMBINED TOTAL THROUGH THE FIRST FIVE DAYS OF EARLY VOTING

In case you’re wondering, there are 232,810 registered voters living inside the boundaries of the three districts that are being contested on Saturday, December 9, 2017. However, only 1,285 registered voters have cared enough about these runoffs to go into one of the early voting locations to vote early.

MAIL-IN BALLOT RECEIVED THROUGH THE FIRST FIVE DAYS OF EARLY VOTING

So far, 1,880 mail-in ballots have been received by the Harris County District Clerk’s Office. In case you’re wondering the Harris County District Clerk’s Office mailed out 4,646 ballots. So there’s still time for a few of those ballots to be returned.



DR. PRETTA VANDIBLE STALLWORTH VALUES THE VOTE, PRAYERS, AND SUPPORT OF EVERY HCCS DISTRICT IX VOTER!


Dr. Pretta VanDible Stallworth is the only candidate asking for our vote, prayers, and support in the Saturday, December 9, 2017, General Runoff Election for HCCS Trustee for District IX. In case you don’t already know, Dr. Pretta VanDible Stallworth is endorsed by HBC Magazine© ReadersThe Houston Chronicle, The Houston GLBT Political Caucus, Houston Business-Education Coalition, Harris County Young Democrats, Texas Gulf Coast Area Labor Federation (AFL-CIO), Harris County Tejano Democrats, Community Voices for Public Education, Houston Stonewall Democrats, Baptist Ministers Association of Houston and Vicinity, The American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations, State Senator Borris L.

THE HOUSTON CHRONICLE: "VanDible Stallworth, 59, has worked as an adjunct professor at Bellhaven College and guest professor at DeVry University. She also served on the HCC board from 1989-1993. Her position as chaplain for Senate 13 District PAC also demonstrates a healthy ability to reflect the values of her community. While we've expressed a cautiousness about VanDible Stallworth's belief that the board should be more involved with reviewing contracts, her education and experience makes her the best candidate in this race."





HARRIS COUNTY DEMOCRATIC PARTY CHAIR LILLIE SCHECHTER AND DR. PRETTA VANDIBLE STALLWORTH

Democratic leaders are taking photos with Dr. Pretta VanDible Stallworth as Election Day approaches. In case you haven’t been paying attention, Dr. Pretta VanDible Stallworth has been seen recently with: Harris County Democratic Party Chair (Lillie Schechter), Texas Democratic Party Chair (Gilberto Hinojosa), Congresswoman for the 18th Congressional District of Texas (Sheila Jackson Lee), Congressman for the 9th Congressional District of Texas (Al Green), Mayor for the City of Houston (Sylvester Turner), State Representative for House District 141 (Senfronia Thompson), Harris County District Attorney (Kim Ogg), City of Houston Council Member (Larry Green – District K), City of Houston Council Member (Amanda Edwards – At-Large Position 4), and Harris County Attorney (Vince Ryan), just to name a few.


CLICK HERE TO CHECK OUT A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM DR. PRETTA VANDIBLE STALLWORTH
















Dr. Pretta VanDible Stallworth recently asked for Houston Business Connections Magazine© to remind all HCC District IX voters that she is asking for the vote, prayers, and support of every registered voter who lives inside the HCC District IX boundaries without respect to their ethnicity, political affiliation, gender, gender identity, or socio-economic status. And yes, she's going to need every vote she can get to win this race on Saturday, December 9, 2017. Anything is possible, but, Pretta VanDible Stallworth trailed her Republican rival, Eugene “Gene” Pack by roughly 349 votes back on Tuesday, November 7, 2017, in the General Election – and that’s a lot of votes considering the turnout is expected to be low on Saturday, December 9, 2017. So, in case you didn’t see the actual results, the Republican, Eugene “Gene” Pack finished with 3,522 votes for 42.18%; Dr. Pretta VanDible Stallworth (the only Democrat in the race) finished with 3,173 votes for 38.00%, and the other Republican, David Jaroszewski (who was endorsed by the Houston Chronicle) finished last with 1,654 votes for 19.81%. “The problem Dr. Pretta VanDible Stallworth faces is that she was actually running against not one, but two Republicans back in the General Election,” explains Taylor. “So nobody really knows if the Republican voters who supported David Jaroszewski will come back out to vote for Eugene Pack on Saturday, December 9, 2017,” he says. “If they do, this will put Dr. Pretta VanDible Stallworth at an even greater disadvantage without specific help from the Harris County Democratic Party.”


"Don't forget that Election Day voting on Saturday, December 9, 2017 could be very close in the Runoff Election for HCC Trustee for District IX. So every vote will count!!!"

Sergio Lira Received 1,051 Votes and Jesse A. Rodriguez Received 1,241 Votes to Make the December 2017 Runoff


Houston ISD Trustee, District III

December 2017 Runoff Election Race between Sergio Lira and Jesse A. Rodriguez for HISD District III Analysis by Aubrey R. Taylor, Publisher of HBC Magazine©

RUNOFF RACE ANALYSIS BY AUBREY R. TAYLOR: “The race for Houston ISD Board Trustee for District III between Sergio Lira and Jesse A. Rodriguez can be won by either candidate in December. This is perhaps the most evenly matched “Runoff Race” on the ballot. Back on Tuesday, November 7, 2017, in the General Election there were four candidates in the race. Here’s how they finished: Jesse A. Rodriguez finished first to head the pack with 1,241 votes for 39.85% of the vote. Finishing second to force the runoff was Sergio Lira with 1,051 votes for 33.75% of the vote. Rodolfo (Rudy) Reyes finished third with 438 votes for 14.07% of the vote. And Carlos Perrett finished fourth with 384 votes for 12.33% of the vote. Trying to get voters in this district to turn back out will be a major challenge for both Lira and Rodriguez in this race. However, as I mentioned in the “ELECTION DAY EDITION” of Houston Business Connections Magazine© Sergio Lira is the candidate to watch in this race. Hey, this district has more than 55,222 registered voters, but only 3,504 chose to show up during the General Election – nobody knows for sure what’s going to happen in this one.”

December 2017 Runoff Election between Dr. Pretta VanDible Stallworth and Eugene “Gene” Pack for HCCS District IX Analysis

RUNOFF RACE ANALYSIS BY AUBREY R. TAYLOR: “Before I get to my analysis for the December 2017 “Runoff Election” race between Eugene “Gene” Pack and Dr. Pretta VanDible Stallworth for the HCCS Board Trustee for District IX – I have a question to ask. How in the world did David Jaroszewski and Dr. Pretta VanDible Stallworth end up with an identical number of absentee votes? It’s almost like someone somewhere just pulled a number out of a hat and split it down the middle – giving half to Dr. Pretta VanDible Stallworth and a half to David Jaroszewski – I’m scratching my head on that one. In case you aren’t familiar with what I’m talking about here is a little refresher: Eugene “Gene” Pack (553 ABSENTEE VOTES – 46.90%), David Jaroszewski (313 ABSENTEE VOTES – 26.55%), and Pretta VanDible Stallworth (313 ABSENTEE VOTES – 26.55%). Is that even possible? I’m just not sure how that can happen. Heck, I’m not sure whether I’ve seen that even happen before in my more than 26 years of studying local and national elections. Anyways, Eugene “Gene” Pack finished “ELECTION NIGHT” in first place with a total of 3,522 votes for 42.18% of the vote. Pretta VanDible Stallworth finished the night in second to force the runoff with 3,173 votes for 38.00% of the vote. Our “SELECT NON-PARTISAN GROUP” of Houston Business Connections Magazine© readers will make a “RECOMMENDATION” in the race for HCCS Board Trustee for District IX shortly. For more information call (832)212-8735. Or feel free to call (281)788-3033 to speak directly to the publisher. *This district has 99,109 registered voters, however only 10,181 ballots were cast back on Tuesday, November 7, 2017, in the General Election.”

December 2017 Runoff Election Race between Elizabeth Santos and Gretchen Himsl for HISD District I Analysis by Aubrey R. Taylor, Publisher of HBC Magazine©

RUNOFF RACE ANALYSIS BY AUBREY R. TAYLOR: “The runoff race for Houston ISD Board Trustee for District I is difficult to analyze – partly because the voter participation was too low. However, one would think that Elizabeth Santos is sitting in the “catbird seat” heading into the runoff. I say this because, when you look at the fact that Elizabeth Santos finished more than 954 (nine hundred and fifty-four) votes ahead of Gretchen Himsl with another Hispanic female by the name of Monica Flores Richart in the race, conventional wisdom would say that the race for Houston ISD Board Trustee for District I is Elizabeth Santos’ race to lose in a head-to-head showdown with Gretchen Himsl. But not so fast, Sontos' biggest challenge will be to motivate her base to come back out and vote again in December. So don’t count Gretchen Himsl out! Remember, I told you guys in my “ELECTION DAY EDITION” of Houston Business Connections Magazine© to watch out for Gretchen Himsl – she’s a very strong candidate with a lot of passion. And I happen to like her chances. And above me liking her chances, my team and I actually discovered several different pathways Himsl could take to close the gap on Santos when we did our overview of this race. As a result, we believe that the best thing Himsl has working for her is what we perceive to be as voter apathy. Take a look at these numbers: only 9,768 of the 78,479 registered voters in Houston ISD Board Trustee District I even bothered to vote in the General Election. This voter apathy happens to afford Gretchen Himsl a window of opportunity to rally her base while reaching out to the more than 68,711 registered voters who stayed at home – at the same time. Can she pull out a win after trailing so heavily back in the General Election? Anything is possible -- But I’m just not sure! However, I guess the bigger question is whether (or not) Himsl is willing to do what it takes to court registered African American voters throughout the district between now and Election Day!!!"

City of Missouri City, CHARTER PROPOSITION A

Shall Section 3.05 of Article III of the Charter of the City of Missouri City be amended to clarify that the mayor pro tem of the city council may be elected at the first regular city council meeting following a runoff election? MAYOR ALLEN OWEN is encouraging “ALL” registered voters in Missouri City, Texas to vote “YES” on CHARTER PROPOSITION A in the Tuesday, November 7, 2017 General Election. Mayor Owen told Houston Business Connections Magazine© recently that CHARTER PROPOSITION A needs to be approved because of the possibility of run-offs.

City of Missouri City, CHARTER PROPOSITION B

Shall Subsection 4.01.A of Article IV of the Charter of the City of Missouri City be amended to remove the requirement that the city manager must be bonded at city expense in an amount not less than twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000)? MAYOR ALLEN OWEN is encouraging “ALL” registered voters in Missouri City, Texas to vote “YES” on CHARTER PROPOSITION B in the Tuesday, November 7, 2017, General Election. Mayor Owen told Houston Business Connections Magazine© recently that CHARTER PROPOSITION B needs to be approved because the city of Missouri City already has an “Umbrella Policy” that addresses this concern.

City of Missouri City, CHARTER PROPOSITION C

Shall Subsections 4.01.D and 4.01.F of Article IV of the Charter of the City of Missouri City be amended to provide that the city manager may appoint, suspend, and remove department directors and assistant city managers without the concurrence of the city council? MAYOR ALLEN OWEN is encouraging “ALL” registered voters in Missouri City, Texas to vote “YES” on CHARTER PROPOSITION C in the Tuesday, November 7, 2017, General Election. Mayor Owen told Houston Business Connections Magazine© recently that CHARTER PROPOSITION C needs to be approved because the City Manager should have this right.

City of Missouri City, CHARTER PROPOSITION D

Shall Section 4.05 of Article IV of the Charter of the City of Missouri City be amended to allow the city manager to establish, combine, discontinue, redesignate, or combine city departments? MAYOR ALLEN OWEN is encouraging “ALL” registered voters in Missouri City, Texas to vote “YES” on CHARTER PROPOSITION D in the Tuesday, November 7, 2017, General Election. Mayor Owen told Houston Business Connections Magazine© recently that CHARTER PROPOSITION D needs to be approved because, along with other duties the City Manager should be afforded the opportunity to establish, combine, discontinue, redesignate or combine city departments.

City of Missouri City, CHARTER PROPOSITION E

Shall Sections 6.01 and 6.02 of Article VI of the Charter of the City of Missouri City be amended to make the Charter consistent with City of Missouri City Resolution No. R-16-32, adopted on October 17, 2016, changing the City's election date from May to November? MAYOR ALLEN OWEN voted against this measure when it was initially brought before Missouri City Council. He recently told Houston Business Connections Magazine© that he voted against this because all the other cities, school districts, and municipal utility districts “ALL” have their election in May and that he believes people should be able to vote on Missouri City issues without having to read through a lengthy ballot where Missouri City, Texas is at the bottom of the said ballot. So, Mayor Allen Owen is encouraging “ALL” registered voters in Missouri City to vote “NO” on CHARTER PROPOSITION E in the Tuesday, November 7, 2017, General Election.

City of Missouri City, CHARTER PROPOSITION F

Shall Section 7.01 of Article VII of the Charter of the City of Missouri City be amended to change the name of the city's finance department to the "financial services department?" MAYOR ALLEN OWEN is encouraging “ALL” registered voters in Missouri City, Texas to vote “YES” on CHARTER PROPOSITION F in the Tuesday, November 7, 2017 General Election. Mayor Owen told Houston Business Connections Magazine© recently that CHARTER PROPOSITION F is simply a name change to reflect the duties of that particular position consistent with other cities titles.

City of Missouri City, CHARTER PROPOSITION G

Shall Sections 9.01 and 9.03 of Article IX of the Charter of the City of Missouri City be amended to change the City of Missouri City's fiscal year from July 1 through June 30 to October 1 through September 30? MAYOR ALLEN OWEN is encouraging “ALL” registered voters in Missouri City, Texas to vote “YES” on CHARTER PROPOSITION G in the Tuesday, November 7, 2017 General Election. Mayor Owen told Houston Business Connections Magazine© recently that CHARTER PROPOSITION G will help Missouri City’s governing body to plan better for the budget if they’re afforded the opportunity to see what the CAD revenues are going to be (early on) rather than having to play the guessing game. According to Mayor Owen, Tax rolls aren’t actually available for review until later in the year, after the “ORIGINAL FISCAL” year.
