Black Voter Engagement and Mobilization Must Become A Much Bigger Priority for Democrats in Harris County


Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (top left), Board Certified Attorney Melanie Miles (second from left), Congressman-Elect Christian Menefee (second from right), Congressman Al Green (right), Attorney Amanda Edwards (second from right), and James Talerico will be some of the hottest names on the "SUPER TUESDAY," Democratic Party Primary ballot in Harris County, Texas.




- THE RIGHT CHOICE -

Board Certified Attorney Melanie Miles is the right choice for Justice of the Peace Precinct 7, Place 2, in Harris County, Texas, on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, in the Democratic Party Primary. Early voting will begin on Tuesday, February 17, 2026, and end on Friday, February 27, 2026.



- 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 COMMUNITY -

It is imperative that members of "OUR COMMUNITY" do their own research before going to the polls on "SUPER TUESDAY" to cast their vote. After you have done your homework, we strongly encourage you to use "DEMOCRATIC SLATE" and "REPUBLICAN SLATE" to assist you in your quest to make an empowered voting decision on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, at the ballot box.



- GROUND-GAME -

As part of the "HARRIS COUNTY NINETEEN," she has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to local, statewide, national, and international politics. Judge Tanner received her undergraduate degree in Political Science from the University of Illinois-Champaign/Urbana and her law degree from Thurgood Marshall School of Law.

Black Voter Engagement and Mobilization Must Become A Much Bigger Priority for Democrats in Harris County, Texas

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

The old 18th Congressional District is the "HEART AND SOUL" of the Harris County Democratic Party. So, the low voter turnout for the "CD-18 RUNOFF" race over the weekend should be a cause for concern for every Democratic nominee on the ballot on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, in the General Midterm Election.

After watching what transpired Saturday night in the “CD-18 RUNOFF” election, where only 23,732 of the 423,945, I am deeply concerned about "BLACK VOTER ENGAGEMENT" and mobilization, heading into the heart of the 2026 Midterm Election season.

Do you realize that what we just witnessed was a 5.60% voter turnout in one of the most important congressional races in American history?

The troubling thing about what we witnessed last night is that the 18th Congressional District is 43.4% Hispanic, 32.2% Black, 16.7% White, 4.9% Asian, 2.2% two or more races, and 0.7% other, according to the ethnic breakdown. However, among the 423,945 registered voters, we are talking about a majority of “BLACK VOTERS” who did not show up to cast ballots.

“VOTER APATHY.”

It is clear that “BLACK VOTERS” have disengaged, and must be reenergized, and before “SUPER TUESDAY,” and definitely before Tuesday, November 3, 2026, when the General Midterm Election will take place.

What happened in the “CD-18 RUNOFF” election Saturday night was more of a total rejection of Amanda Edwards, which was a mandate on Christian Menefee’s readiness to take on the Trump Administration, in “THE SWAMP,” as Washington, D.C., is commonly referred to.

Yes. Christian Menefee handily defeated Amanda Edwards, who ran one of the worst “GROUND-GAMES” that I have ever seen, run by a well-financed candidate, over the last 30 years.

“ELECTION RETURNS.”

My number one priority was to make sure that nothing nefarious happened with “THE MAIL BALLOTS,” and as far as we can see, nothing did. Christian Menefee received 1,079 absentee mail ballots, and Amanda Edwards received 1,073 absentee mail ballots.

It is unclear at this point why the “ABSENTEE MAIL BALLOT” totals were so low. Still, the consensus among the people we’ve spoken with is that many “ELDERLY BLACK VOTERS” are migrating away from casting their vote by mail, and have elected to vote in person.

During the “EARLY VOTING PERIOD,” Christian Menefee received 8,012 votes, and Amanda Edwards received 3,478 votes. In the grand scheme of things, voters who cast ballots for Amanda Edwards and State Rep. Jolanda Jones on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, did not turn out to cast ballots for Amanda on Saturday, January 31, 2026, in the runoff election.

Things did not get better for Amanda Edwards on “ELECTION DAY,” either, as she received only 2,927 votes, compared to Christian Menefee’s 7,083.

We still don’t know how many votes were cast during the extended voting period on Wednesday and Thursday to make up for the two days lost due to the severe weather experienced in Houston over the weekend.

Based on the “UNOFFICIAL TOTALS,” made available to the general public by Harris County Clerk Teneshia Hudspeth, Amanda Edwards received 7,478 votes, for 31.62% of the vote, and Christian Menefee received 16,174 votes for 68.38%

“LOOKING AHEAD.”

Menefee’s win over Amanda Edwards didn’t prove anything, but you can’t tell him that, right? A win is a win, some would say. However, there are over 423,945 registered voters living in “THE OLD CD-18,” but only 23,732 votes were cast, for a 5.60% voter turnout – that’s abysmal.

Early voting is less than 15 days away. That said, the upcoming Democratic Party Primary race for “CD-18” scheduled for Super Tuesday is going to use the “NEW CD-18 MAP,” drawn at the urging of the Trump Administration. It will begin on Tuesday, February 17, 2026, and end on Friday, February 27, 2026.

Congressman Al Green, Congressman-elect Christian Menfee, Amanda Edwards, and Gretchen Brown will face off on “SUPER TUESDAY” in a primary race, which could result in a runoff if neither candidate receives a majority of the vote.

The runoffs for the Tuesday, March 3, 2026, Democratic and Republican primaries will be held on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, with “EARLY VOTING” beginning on Monday, May 18, 2026, and ending on Friday, May 22, 2026.

“CLOSING THOUGHTS.”

Christian Menefee had “THE ELLIS MACHINE” behind him, but only 5.60% of eligible voters turned out to cast votes for his candidacy, which is frightening. Remember, Christian Menefee raised and spent $2,225,235.06 and supposedly spent every dime of it, yet only received 16,174 votes, representing 68.38%.

If you do some calculations, you will discover that Christian Menefee spent $173.58 per vote on Saturday, January 31, 2026, which is nothing to be proud of.

As for Amanda Edwards, she raised over $3.3 million over the course of the last two years, and claims to have spent it all, but only received 7,478 votes, for 31.62%, of the vote, from an eligible pool of 423,945 registered voters – let that sink in for a minute.

Over the last few months, Amanda Edwards raised $1,740,159.09, meaning she spent $232.70 per vote she received on Saturday, January 31, 2026.

So, what do you think? Do you still believe that Amanda Edwards or Christian Menefee has what it takes to defeat “THE PEOPLE’S CONGRESSMAN” on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, in the Democratic Party Primary, race for the “NEWLY-DRAWN CD-18,” which is actually the 9th Congressional District of Texas?
