Black Female Judges Are Not Victims; Our Women Are Walking Boldly into the 2026 Midterms in Power, With Grace


Judge Manpreet Monica Singh, Judge Audrie Lawton Evans, Judge Jim Kovach, and Melanie Miles are family to us. Judge Wanda Adams (top left), the presiding Justice of the Peace for Precinct 7, Place 1, won't be up for re-election until the 2028 Presidential Election cycle. And for the record, Judge Adams is a stellar judge who is like family to the community we're building and us. While "PRECINCT SEVEN VOTERS" can't vote for Judge Wanda Adams, this time around, Democratic Party Primary voters can vote for "BOARD-CERTIFIED ATTORNEY," Melanie Miles, who is running for the Justice of the Peace for Precinct 7, Place 2, bench on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, in the Democratic Party Primary. As for Judge Damiane "Dianne" Curvey (bottom right), she's doing a magnificent job performing her duties as the presiding judge for the 280th Protective Order Court, and must be returned to the bench. 

"JUDGE MANOR."

Since Jeralynn Manor was 7 years old, she has dreamed of becoming a judge. And when she launched her bid to seize control of the 80th Civil District Court bench in Harris County, Texas, she turned to Aubrey R. Taylor Communications to guide her through the "TRETCHEROUS ALLEYWAYS" of Harris County, Texas. While Judge Manor is not on the ballot during the 2026 Midterm Election, her commitment to Harris County, Texas, and her unyielding support of Black-owned businesses are on full display as she continues to excel as a "HIGH-PROFILE ATTORNEY," delivering results for her clients.

"JUDGE TANNER."

You can search high and low and not find a more qualified jurist than Judge Germaine Tanner, the presiding judge of the 311th Family District Court in Harris County, Texas. What I love most about Judge Germaine Tanner is that she's not playing the "VICTIM ROLE," or buying into the notion that she is being targeted. Nope. Judge Germaine Tanner is "LAZER-FOCUSED" on defeating her Republican challenger on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, in the General Midterm Election.

"JUDGE CURVEY."

Ignoring the noise and chatter from agitators on FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM, TIKTOK, and "X," formerly known as TWITTER, is imperative as you seek to make a more informed voting decision. With this in mind, Judge Damiane "Dianne" Curvey has a very difficult job to do, as she presides over the 280th Protective Order Court in Harris County, Texas. As a domestic violence victim herself, Judge Curvey is highly sensitive to the matter of protecting victims. As she focuses on her bid for re-election, let's be sensitive to the fact that even "STRONG WOMEN" need brave men to come to their defense during times when they are trying to exit abusive relationships.

- MELANIE'S PLAN -

When Attorney Melanie Miles defeats Judge Sharon Burney, she plans to implement her plan to "RESTORE CREDIBILITY" to the Precinct 7, Place 2, bench in Harris County, Texas.

➤ MELANIE PLANS to bring essential legal aid and housing assistance directly into the Harris County Justice of the Peace Precinct 7, Place 2, as one of her first orders of business.

➤ MELANIE PLANS to do away with Judge Sharon Burney's practice of stacking cases, and only allowing people who come before the bench 90-second hearings.

➤ MELANIE PLANS to create a community-focused courtroom that treats every person who enters the Justice of the Peace, Precinct 7, Place 2, court, with dignity and respect.

➤ MELANIE PLANS to increase transparency, accountability, and efficiency in every aspect of court operations in the Justice of the Peace, Precinct 7, Place 2, court.

➤ MELANIE PLANS to build strong partnerships to connect residents and community stakeholders with resources that re-establish stability prior to their case coming before the court.



- OUR FAMILY -

Former Judge Jeralynn Manor's name won't be on the Tuesday, March 3, 2026, or Tuesday, November 3, 2026, ballots in Harris County, Texas. However, you can rest assured that Jeralynn is not done with politics. That said, if you need a "GREAT ATTORNEY," I strongly encourage you to reach out to "THE MANOR LAW FIRM, P.C.," by calling (346) 776-2667, that's -- (346) 77MANOR, and tell her that I told you about her practice.

Attorney Melanie Miles is a "BOARD CERTIFIED" attorney who is part of our family. Unlike Judge Sharon Burney, Melanie is committed to Restoring Fairness. Restoring Dignity. and returning the Justice of the Peace Precinct 7, Place 2, court back to the people.

- OUR FAMILY -

On Tuesday, March 3, 2026, Attorney Melanie Miles, a member of "OUR FAMILY," will be present on the Democratic Party Primary ballot, in the race for Justice of the Peace for Precinct 7, Place 2, in Harris County, Texas. Early voting will begin on Tuesday, February 17, 2026, and end on Friday, February 27, 2026. It is imperative that "DEMOCRATIC VOTERS" join forces to help "BOARD CERTIFIED ATTORNEY," Melanie Miles, unseat Judge Sharon Burney, who appears to be seriously compromised based on her most recent campaign finance report.



- OUR FAMILY -

Former Judge Jeralynn Manor was a great judge while serving on the bench. But before becoming a "GREAT JUDGE," she was a solid attorney. Call (346) 776-2667 — that's (346) 77MANOR — now for a free consultation to discuss your legal case or concern.

Judge Tanner received her undergraduate degree in Political Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and her law degree from Thurgood Marshall School of Law.

Black Female Judges Are Not Victims; Our Women Are Walking Boldly into the 2026 Midterms in Power, With Grace

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

First off, don’t forget to tune into KCOH Radio on Thursday, January 29, 2026, for an in-depth discussion between Judge Germaine Tanner, the presiding judge for the 311th Family District Court, Judge Damiane “Dianne” Curvey, the presiding judge for the 280th Protective Order Court, and former judge Jeralynn Manor, who presided over the 80th Civil District Court, in Harris County, Texas, before losing her bench during the 2024 Presidential Election cycle by a razor-thing margin of 647 votes to her Republican challenger (Sonya Aston) with over 1,462,815 votes cast in her race.

When the dust settled, Judge Jeralynn Manor (Democrat) received 731,084 votes, for 50% of the vote, and her challenger, Sonya Aston (Republican) received 731,731 votes, for 50.0%. However, what many folks don’t realize is that 104,785 of the registered voters who went to the polls to vote skipped over the race for the 80th Civil District Court, which means both major political parties must do more “OUTREACH,” beyond their traditional base, between now and Tuesday, November 3, 2026, when the 2026 General Midterm Elections, will take place.

In a clear sign that Harris County, Texas, is a “50/50 COUNTY,” veteran Judge Elaine Palmer, who served as the presiding judge for the 215th Family District Court, also lost her bench in the 2024 Presidential election to her Republican challenger (Nathan Milliron) by a mere 304 votes, with 1,452,198 votes cast in her race.

When the dust settled in the race for the 215th Civil District Court, Judge Elaine Palmer (Democrat) had 725,947 votes, for 49.99% of the vote, and her challenger, Nathan J. Milliron, had 726,251, for 50.01%. However, 115,383 of the registered voters skipped over the race for the 215th Civil District Court, and did not vote for the Republican or the Democrat.

If you want me to go one better, as a refresher, during the 2022 Midterm Election, Porscha Natasha Brown, an African American female “DEMOCRATIC JUDICIAL CANDIDATE,” who was running to succeed Judge Erica Hughes, a member of the “HARRIS COUNTY NINENTEEN,” lost her bid to become a judge to her Republican opponent (Leslie Johnson) by a mere 267 votes with 1,059,031 votes cast in the race for the County Criminal Court at Law No. 3, bench in Harris County, Texas.

Porscha Natasha Brown ran a strong race against Leslie Johnson, with no money, during the 2022 Midterm Election. Still, when the dust settled, Porscha Natasha Brown (Democrat) had 529,382 votes for 49.99% of the vote, and Leslie Johnson had 529,649 votes for 50.01%.

Even still, many folks don’t realize that 48,087 registered voters skipped the race for County Criminal Court No. 3 as they moved down their ballot, not voting for the Democratic or Republican nominee.


“A POWERFUL LINEAGE.”

Throughout history, African American women have been the glue that has driven many of the Democratic Party’s successes on the local, national, and international stages.

When thinking of powerful “MODERN-DAY” Black women in entertainment, the names of Oprah Winfrey, Beyoncé, Simone Biles, Serena Williams, Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, and others might immediately come to the forefront of your consciousness.

Yes, Harriet Tubman and Rosa Parks are worth remembering, along with many women who’ve helped America evolve, along with former First Lady Michelle Obama, and countless others.

In politics, Shirley Anita Chisholm's name is etched in American history as the first black woman elected to the United States Congress.

As a refresher, Chisholm represented New York’s 12th Congressional District with dignity and grace for seven terms from 1969 to 1983. Then, in 1972, Sheriley Anita Chisolm became the “FIRST BLACK CANDIDATE,” man, or woman, to win a major-party nomination for the Presidency of the United States of America.

What I loved most about Chisolm is that she was not afraid to take a firm stance against economic, social, and political injustices, which is a characteristic that’s hard to find these days.


“CLOSER TO HOME.”

There’s no way to discuss successful African American women in politics without mentioning Barbara Jordan, better known as Congresswoman Barbara Jordan. We’ve got some “MODERN-DAY TRAILBLAZERS” who are worth celebrating.

Sure, the late Congresswoman Barbara Jordan was the first African American (woman or man) elected to the Texas State Senate since Reconstruction. And beyond that, she went on to become the first African American woman elected from the South to the United States House of Representatives.

Now, don’t get me wrong – I love talking about our illustrious history, but I’m not too concerned about yesteryear. My attention is on the here-and-now.

What many people fail to realize is that Harris County, Texas, will make history in a few weeks by nominating the largest field of “BLACK JUDICIAL CANDIDATES,” ever assembled in any county, during the illustrious history of these United States of America.


“HARRIS COUNTY NINETEEN.”

What many naysayers predicted would end up being a disaster, after the “HARRIS COUNTY NINETEEN” captured the heart of America, has evolved into one of the greatest stories of triumph in American politics.

Sure, President Barack Obama’s 2008 Presidential Election victory was a monumental moment. But the success of the “HARRIS COUNTY NINETEEN” was something nobody saw coming.

With President Obama’s success, there was a certain feeling in the air that even naysayers could tap into, as “OBAMA-MANIA” captivated America. He and his wife, Michelle, walked with dignity and respect, in a manner the vast majority of America embraced.

Whereas the “HARRIS COUNTY NINETEEN” is concerned, every step of the way, for them has been a journey of toil, under relentless pressure, and widespread scepticism. And, the unjust targeting of these duly-qualified members of the judiciary, I’m not sure how they endured.

For the record, I am incredibly proud of Angela Graves-Harrington, Dedra Davis, Erica Hughes, Germaine Tanner, LaShawn A. Williams, Latasha Lewis Payne, Linda Marie Dunson, Lori Chambers Gray, Lucia Bates, Maria T. Jackson, Michelle Moore, Ramona Franklin, Ronnisha Bowman, Sandra Peake, Shannon Baldwin, Sharon Burney, Tonya Jones, Toria J. Finch, and the late Cassondra Hollemon, for what they achieved during the 2018 Midterms.


“EMERGING LEADERS.”

While the 2018 Midterms were something to behold, the 2022 Midterms were a total disaster, with the “ELECTION ADMINISTRATOR” experiment causing all sorts of problems, in the aftermath of lawsuits, and allegations of racism, vote suppression running rampant.

Regardless of the struggles the “HARRIS COUNTY NINENTEEN” faced along the way, their outlook and sense of a higher calling have rung loud and clear as many of these women seek to become vested for life, if they can win their 2026 Midterm races.

I guess, you can say, a new day is dawning in Harris County, Texas, as the “HARRIS COUNTY NINENTEEN,” could be joined by a large contingent of allies, including “BOARD CERTIFIED ATTORNEY,” Melanie Miles-Bazil, and several others.


“POWERFUL WOMEN.”

For the record, Melanie Miles is like family to us. She is a “BOARD-CERTIFIED” family law attorney who has served the citizens of Harris County for over two decades. Melanie is a native of Houston, Texas, and grew up in the Third Ward and Braeswood areas of the Bayou City.

On Tuesday, March 3, 2026, Melanie is challenging one of the “HARRIS COUNTY NINETEEN,” named Judge Sharon Burney, who does not show up for work to hold “COURT DOCKETS” on Mondays, according to our joint investigation, and the thorough investigation conducted by Attorney Nyanza Moore, who is a high-powered attorney.

Aubrey R. Taylor Communications is strongly encouraging Democrats who live within the boundaries of “PRECINCT 7,” to cast their votes for Melanie Miles on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, in the Democratic Party Primary, race for Justice of the Peace Precinct 7, Place 2, in Harris County, Texas, as your life depends on it, because it does.

According to Attorney Nyanza Moore, this Judge Sharon Burney lady is being cruel to the people who come before her bench, and needs to go. Listen. Attorney Nyanza Moore is like family to us, and we trust her experience and heart for the Black Community.


“MEET NYANZA MOORE.”

Mrs. Nyanza L. Moore, a seasoned attorney with 20 years of experience, is the Founder and Managing Attorney of her own law firm, The Moore Law Group. Attorney Moore may be better known for her role as an original cast member of the 7-time nominated, three-time Emmy Award-winning NBC daytime television show “Starting Over” with Iyanla Vanzant, produced by Bunim/Murray Productions. Attorney Moore was featured on The Today Show, Access Hollywood, and E! News, and was highlighted in Soap Opera Digest, TV Guide Magazine, and Entertainment Weekly. Starting Over was the first reality TV show ever to be nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award.

Attorney Moore earned a Bachelor of Science in Political Science from Texas A&M University in College Station. A proud supporter of HBCUs, Mrs. Moore earned a Doctor of Jurisprudence, magna cum laude, from the Texas Southern University Thurgood Marshall School of Law. Attorney Moore was named to Who’s Who Among American Law Students. The former Managing Editor of the Thurgood Marshall Law Review and President of the Phi Delta Phi Honor Society remained on the Dean’s List every semester of law school. Attorney Moore’s stellar academic performance led her to work at world-class law firms for almost a decade.

Attorney Moore serves as a legal expert for KRIV Fox26 News, Houston, 97.9 The Box, Magic 102.1FM, 102.5FM, Boom 92, The Cam Hill Show, and the syndicated Al Rucker Radio Show. Attorney Moore was an original panelist and expert political commentator on KRIV-Fox 26 Houston’s hit Sunday morning political talk show “What’s Your Point?”. She devotes her time to fighting for the rights of the underserved, promoting equitable social justice, and providing pro bono legal services for Veterans and people in impoverished communities. Attorney Moore mentors undergraduates, law students, young entrepreneurs, and independent women who need positive reinforcement and change in their lives.

As a former international officer and 27-year member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, she has empowered women across the country as a keynote speaker at retreats, luncheons, conferences, and political gatherings, with over 30,000 attendees. Attorney Moore is a proud member of multiple prestigious organizations, including The Links, Incorporated, Jack and Jill of America, Black Women of Greater Houston PAC, and more.

After marriage and motherhood, Attorney Moore ventured into the unknown and opened The Moore Law Group. She prides herself on taking the giant leap that enabled her to balance marriage, motherhood, and entrepreneurship while remaining a servant leader in her community. In addition to being a seasoned attorney, television personality, and news commentator, Attorney Moore is a committed community volunteer. She is a contributing philanthropist to the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, The Health Museum, The Hermann Park Conservancy, The Star of Hope, The Houston Food Bank, and The Smith Foundation. Attorney Moore is an expert businesswoman who strives to help other women in business achieve financial and personal success.

Attorney Moore has combined 20 years of legal experience with a platform to help other women jumpstart their dream of independence. With a legal background in business litigation, family law, and real estate, Attorney Moore understands the importance of getting and keeping your affairs in order.

During the Coronavirus Pandemic, the Moore Law Group experienced a surge in women seeking legal advice and counsel after experiencing illness, death, job loss, and divorce. There was a noticeable pattern amongst most women: they didn’t know whether they had their affairs in order and didn’t know where to begin. Attorney Moore quickly identified a meaningful solution to helping more women practice self-care and take charge of their lives during the pandemic. Attorney Moore created a series of E-Books and legal forms designed to help women get organized, stay focused, and be prepared for life’s unexpected events. Attorney Moore’s “Girl, Get Your Affairs In Order” series is designed to help women at every station access the tools they need to get their lives’ business on track.

Attorney Nyanza Moore is happily married to Erik and is the proud mother of Kennedy and Lincoln.


“CLOSING THOUGHTS.”

As with the struggles we’ve encountered as “BLACK PEOPLE” throughout history, there are local candidates from all walks of life who are supporting us in our continued fight for equality.

On the local level, I am proud to proclaim that Democrats and Republicans alike are standing with me, as we’re “PUTTING PEOPLE OVER POLITICS,” in the Tuesday, November 3, 2026, General Midterm Election, in Texas.

As always, I strongly encourage you to do your own research and then use my “NON-PARTISAN SLATE” of candidates who value “OUR COMMUNITY” to fill out the remainder of your ballot. To this end, the people listed below are like family to us and should be supported.
