Democrat Taylor Rehmet stole the show in Texas on Saturday, January 31, 2026, as he defeated Republican Leigh Wambsganss in a solidly Republican area that President Donald Trump won by 17% in the 2024 Presidential Election. In other news, Hall of Fame KCOH Ralph Cooper, Judge Germaine Tanner, and Investigative Reporter Aubrey R. Taylor will host a "BLACK HISTORY MONTH" special edition of "GROUND GAME MAGAZINE" on www.1230kcoh.com on Thursday, 5, 2026. In other news, last night, former Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee defeated former Councilwoman Amanda Edwards with a dismally low 5.60% voter turnout: only 23,732 of the 423,945 registered voters in "CD-18" even bothered to cast a vote in one of the most important Congressional races in United States History.
"TAYLOR'S VICTORY."
On a night when the eyes of America were firmly affixed on Harris County, Texas, and the dismally low voter turnout "RUNOFF RACE" for the 18th Congressional District, it wasn't Christian Menefee or Amanda Edwards who captured the hearts of Democrats from far and near. A Democrat labor leader named Taylor Rehmet showed up BIG TIME last night in Tarrant County, Texas.
"This win goes to everyday working people," Rehmet told his large base of supporters. However, Taylor Rehmet's victory could be much more than meets the eye. We could be on the verge of seeing the reclaiming of America from the "TRUMP ADMINISTRATION" and its perceived overreach, by Americans who are committed to "PUTTING PEOPLE OVER POLITICS," in the upcoming Tuesday, November 3, 2026, General Midterm Election.
“THE ELLIS MACHINE.”
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. What you have to remember is that low voter turnout, as we saw last night, favors the establishment when the two candidates are members of the same political party. However, in General Midterm Elections, low voter turnout in countywide races like those we will see on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, will favor Republican candidates.
"COST PER VOTE."
Before anyone gloats and sticks their chest out about last night's runoff results, what they must realize is that Christian Menefee raised and spent $2,225,235.06, and supposedly spent every dime of it, but only received 16,174 votes, for 68.38%. Now, 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.
What you also need to understand about Amanda Edwards's dismal performance last night is that, 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, which means that she was totally rejected by "BLACK VOTERS," last night in the "CD-18 RUNOFF," election.

- VOTER TURNOUT -
Former Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee handily defeated former Councilwoman Amanda Edwards, with the help of Commissioner Rodney Ellis's "POLITICAL MACHINE," which has mastered the art of winning low voter turnout elections like what we saw unfold in the "CD-18 RUNOFF," last night. However, Christian Menefee received only 16,174 votes out of a possible pool of 423,945 registered voters, which should be cause for concern for every "DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE" running for countywide offices on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, in the General Midterm Election in Harris County, Texas.

Black History Month is Here; Only 23,732 of 423,945 Registered Voters Turned Out for a 5.60% Voter Turnout Last Night
AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©
Today marks the beginning of “BLACK HISTORY MONTH,” which will begin today and end on Sunday, March 1, 2026. After watching what transpired last night in the “CD-18 RUNOFF” election, where only 23,732 of the 423,945 registered voters turned out, I’m not really in a celebratory mood – not at all.
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 last 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.
With the House expected to convene in Washington, D.C., on Monday, it is unclear whether the former Harris County Attorney, now Congressman-elect, will even be sworn in to begin his term. Remember, the looming partial government shutdown could delay Menefee’s swearing-in ceremony.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has been encouraged by Congressman Al Green (D-TX) and others to swear in the winner of the “CD-RUNOFF" quickly, but that’s not a done deal.
“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 17 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?

- 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.
Congressman Al Green, "THE PEOPLE'S CONGRESSMAN," is widely regarded as the favorite to win the upcoming Tuesday, March 3, 2026, Democratic Party Primary race for the "NEWLY DRAWN," 18th Congressional District of Texas. To this end, we must endeavor to protect and preserve "OUR HISTORY" and to help Congressman Al Green preserve his legacy and seniority in the United States House of Representatives on Super Tuesday.

These sixteen women, along with the late Judge Cassondra Hollemon (not pictured), Judge Lucia Bates (not pictured), and former Honorable Judge Maria T. Jackson, took America by storm during the 2018 Midterm Election. But on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, for the General Midterm Election in Harris County, Texas, there will be an even larger contingent of African American women seeking to rewrite the annals of "AMERICAN HISTORY," while preserving our history and solidifying their legacies.
