What most folks don't know about the Honorable Judge Germaine Tanner is that she holds an undergraduate degree in "POLITICAL SCIENCE" from the prestigious University of Illinois/Urbana-Champaign. Listen. Judge Germaine Tanner, the presiding judge of the 311th Family District Court, was a practicing attorney in local Harris County courtrooms long before she decided to run for the bench in the 2018 Midterm Election cycle. Many members of "THE HARRIS COUNTY NINETEEN," like Judge Germaine Tanner, have rounded into "EXCELLENT JUDGES." They must have their jobs protected and their legacies secured on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, in the General Midterm Election in Harris County, Texas.
"ENDORSEMENT ALERT."
Attorney Benjamin L. Hall, III, better known as "BEN," stepped forward to endorse Judge Jim Kovach, one of the best judges in Harris County, Texas, over his African American female challenger. It remains unclear why Attorney Ebony Nicole Williams chose to run against a "GREAT JUDGE," like Judge Kovach, when Ebony doesn't appear to have practiced law in the Harris County Civil or Criminal Courts, very much, if at all. Listen. Judge Jim Kovach, the presiding judge for County Civil Court at Law No. 2, has earned the powerful endorsement of Attorney Ben Hall over his "BLACK FEMALE" challenger, which speaks volumes.
"ABOUT BEN HALL."
Benjamin L. Hall, III, is a Harvard Law School-trained trial attorney with more than 100 jury verdicts totaling more than $300,000,000. He is dual board-certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization in both Civil Trial and Personal Injury law—an accomplishment achieved by fewer than 1% of Texas attorneys. A member of ABOTA and a lifetime member of the NAACP, Ben’s firm motto reflects his commitment to the law: “The Firm Where Right Wins Over Might.” And, his trial victories speak volumes about his ability to live up to that motto. Verdicts he has obtained for clients have been recognized as some of the largest in Texas in certain areas of law during the reported years. He is currently representing clients in litigation with potential exposure exceeding $100 billion to the defendants he is suing. Ben also holds a Ph.D. and a Master’s degree from Duke University and is an ordained Christian minister.
- POWER PLAYER -
Attorney Ben Hall is unquestionably one of the top "BLACK ATTORNEYS" in the United States of America. However, many people may not realize that The Hall Law Firm is one of the top law firms in the United States of America. Attorney Ben Hall's endorsement of Judge Jim Kovach, over his "BLACK FEMALE CHALLENGER," has value, but only if Judge Kovach promotes it in the right way. Promoting endorsements on "FACEBOOK," as Judge Jim Kovach is doing right now, isn't the way to deliver a powerful endorsement to the Black community.
- POWER PLAYERS -
Claude Cummings, Jr., is flanked by former First Lady Hilary Clinton and the late Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee because he's got it like that. Claude Cummings, Jr. is one of the most influential men in the United States, given his political influence. Claude was elected president of the Communications Workers of America by delegates to the union’s 79th convention on July 10, 2023. Before he was elected president, Cummings served as an at-large member of the CWA’s Executive Board, then as Vice President of CWA District 6, representing workers in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas. He also led the union's Human Rights Department.
- A GREAT JUDGE -
Judge Beau Miller, the presiding judge for the 190th Civil District Court, should be kept on the bench. While Claude Cumming's endorsement of Judge Miller is a powerful acknowledgement of Judge Miller's reach into the Black Community, it will take much more than posting the endorsement on "FACEBOOK" for the endorsement to have an impact on Super Tuesday. Listen. Judge Beau Miller is being challenged by Velda Faulkner, the same "BLACK WOMAN" who defeated Judge Jerry Zimmerer in the 2024 Democratic Party Primary runoff for the Texas Fourteenth District Court of Appeals, Place 3. Faulkner, a lifelong Democrat, received 1,024,078 votes (46.0%) and ran against Chad Bridges, a Republican, who received 1,202,180 votes (54.0%) on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, in the Presidential Election.
Ebony Nicole Williams is licensed to practice law in the State of Texas. However, it is unclear whether she's currently practicing law in Texas. Listen. Attorneys who wish to become judges should be able to demonstrate a record of work in courtrooms. That said, on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, Democratic Party Primary voters in Harris County, Texas, should join Attorney Ben Hall and other local "BLACK LEADERS" in supporting Judge Jim Kovach in the race for County Civil Court at Law No.3 in Harris County, Texas.
Velda Faulkner has been licensed to practice law since Friday, May 5, 1989. Her primary practice areas include: Business, Consumer, Criminal, Family, Health Care, Litigation (Personal Injury, Oil, Gas, and Energy Resources), Real Estate, Wills, Trusts, and Probate, Elder Law, Appellate (Civil, Criminal), Contracts, and more. On Tuesday, March 3, 2026, Velda Faulkner, a Democrat, is seeking to unseat Judge Beau Miller, who is her fellow Democrat.
Daniella Landers is a "TRAILBLAZER," who will be featured inside the special "BLACK HISTORY MONTH" edition of Houston Business Connections Newspaper.

I look forward to serving as HBA President and working with the HBA Board of Directors, as well as our staff, members, and partners.”

Additionally, she has co-chaired several HBA committees, including Communities In Schools, Law & the Media, AIDS Outreach, Judicial Polls, Membership, Lawyers for Literacy, CLE, Lawyers Against Waste (now Lawyers for a Beautiful Houston), Gender Fairness, and Minority Opportunities in the Legal Profession (now Diversity, Equity and Inclusion).
President Landers has been dedicated to the legal profession and greater Houston community through her service to several professional and community organizations, including the Houston Lawyers Association, Women in Energy Network Houston Chapter, the Institute for Energy Law, the National Bar Association, the Center for Women in Law, the HAY Center Foundation, the Fort Bend County Chapter of the Links Inc., the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc., the Continentals Houston Chapter, and as a long-time member of the Houston Bar Association and Life Fellow of the Houston Bar Foundation.

Several Democratic Judges Could Lose their Primary Bids for Re-election on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, in Harris County, Texas
AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©
Back during the 2022 Democratic Party Primary, over twelve (12) Democratic Incumbent Judges lost their primary battles for the Democratic nomination. Back during the 2024 Democratic Party Primary, one of the marquee matchups was the race for the 151st Civil District Court. In that race, Judge Erica Hughes ran against Judge Mike Engelhart and received 93,468 votes, an astonishing 60.9%, to unseat Judge Engelhart, who received 59,964 votes, 39.1%. At the time of his defeat, Judge Engelhart was considered one of the strongest Democratic incumbent judges on the ballot. Still, he was no match for Hughes, who dominated Judge Mike Engelhart in every facet of their showdown. Even though Judge Engelhart had hundreds of thousands of dollars in his war chest, he suffered a significant defeat due to friendly fire on Super Tuesday.
"KEY MATCHUPS"
On Tuesday, March 3, 2026, Judge Christine Weems, Judge Donna Roth, Judge Lauren Reeder, and Judge Beau Miller could suffer the same fate as Judge Engelhart if they don't take their primary challengers seriously. As for former Judge Robert Johnson, former Judge Darrell Jordan, and retired Judge Ramona Franklin, they're all making a comeback on "SUPER TUESDAY," in Harris County, Texas. Early voting will begin on Tuesday, February 17, 2026, and end on Friday, February 27, 2026. But if you can't vote early, "ELECTION DAY," voting will take place on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, which is Super Tuesday, in America.
