KCOH 1230, “The Source,” Has Politics Rocking in Harris County; Judge DaSean Jones to Set the Record Straight
AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©
The Harris County Democratic Party “BASE VOTERS” have jumped out to a solid lead on the Harris County Republican Party “BASE VOTERS,” through the first two days of “EARLY VOTING” in what many have billed as the most important midterm election cycle of our lifetimes.
Hall of Fame Broadcaster Ralph Cooper, and www.1230kcoh.com, along with their willingness to serve as “GROUND-ZERO,” for Texas Politics, are a huge reason why Democrats appear to be more energized.
Many well-financed candidates are taking their campaign dollars to other stations, such as KMJQ (102.1 FM), a commercial radio station owned by Urban One. Still, candidates with smaller budgets are beginning to realize that 1230 KCOH “The Source,” where General Manager Paris Eley is leading the way, is a viable alternative.
Paris Eley, the general manager at 1230 KCOH “The Source,” Hall of Fame Broadcaster Ralph Cooper, and Don Samuel, the Production Director, are undoubtedly the best in the business, but are sometimes overlooked by candidates with big budgets.
“SOLID IMPACT.”
Since the death of the late Congressman Syvester Turner, back on Wednesday, March 5, 2025, the alliance formed by Hall of Fame Broadcaster Ralph Cooper and Investigative Reporter, Aubrey R. Taylor, has proven golden, as “COOP” and I have evolved into “THE SOURCE” for all things politics, during the pivotal election cycle.
Make no mistake about it, Hall of Fame Broadcaster Ralph Cooper has been a fixture in “SPORTS BROADCASTING” for over half a century. But what many folks don’t know is that Ralph Cooper’s first love was covering local political happenings and social justice issues.
Ralph Cooper began his career as a journalist at the Houston Forward Times, covering community issues, the Harris County Courts, and the Harris County Jails, and he plans to resume this work in the coming months, along with me.
Anyways, through the first two days of “EARLY VOTING,” Democrats are showing a newfound grit and determination that wasn’t there back during the Tuesday, March 1, 2022, Midterms.
“TONIGHT’S SHOW.”
Tonight on www.1230kcoh.com, Investigative Reporter Aubrey R. Taylor will host a special broadcast, featuring Judge Germaine “Janet” Tanner, the presiding judge for the 311th Family District Court, a political science major, who earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Illinois-Champaign/Urbana and her law degree from the prestigious Thurgood Marshall School of Law.
Judge Germaine Tanner will bring the 1230 KCOH listeners up to speed on a few of the top stories happening on the national front, from 6:00 p.m. to 6:15 p.m., and then leave.
At 6:15 p.m., TV Commentator Nyanza Moore will take to the airwaves to talk about the two hottest local Harris County, Texas races, alongside me, Investigative Reporter Aubrey R. Taylor, and Hall of Fame Broadcaster Ralph Cooper, the moderator of tonight’s show.
From 6:30 p.m. through 8:00 p.m., former judge Dasean Jones, who presided over the 180th Criminal District Court, and his attorney “Downtown” Oliver Brown, will take to the airwaves for an exclusive interview with (me) Investigative Reporter Aubrey R. Taylor, which Hall of Fame Broadcaster Ralph Cooper will moderate, aimed at shedding light on the mistreatment of “BLACK MEN,” in local Harris County, Texas politics.
“ABOUT JUDGE JONES.”
From the time Judge DaSean Jones was elected to the bench during the 2018 Midterm Election, simultaneously with the insurgency of “THE HOUSTON NINETEEN,” he became a marked man, with a target on his back. Who was he targeted by?
Tonight, www.1230kcoh.com listeners will get a clear understanding of how “BLACK CANDIDATES” were targeted by using their “ETHNIC SOUNDING NAMES,” and how other discriminatory practices have been used against “BLACK JUDGES,” in an effort to purge them from local judicial benches, in the third largest county in America.
What most folks don’t understand is the Judge DaSean Jones’s resignation, was his way of clearing the path, for Democrats to have a fresh start, in the ongoing 2026 Midterm Elections where he passed to torch to Stephanie Morales (Democrat), who now has a chance to unseat Tamie C. Pierce (Republican), who Judge Dasean Jones beat by (449) votes.
As a refresher, even though Judge DaSean Jones was targeted with “GOP SUPER PACS” in over $2 million in “ATTACK ADS,” he still defeated his Republican challenger.
Judge Dasean Jones ultimately received 534,460 votes, for 50.02% of the vote, and his Republican challenger, Tami Pierce, received 534,011 votes, for 49.98%.
In all, a total of 1,068,471 votes were cast in the race for the 180th Judicial District Court, and 38,908 undervotes were cast. An undervote occurs when a voter skips over a particular race and does not vote for either candidate.
“TROUBLING CASE.”
Shortly after Judge DaSean Jones and many of his fellow Democrats defeated their “REPUBLICAN OPPONENTS,” back on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, in Harris County, Texas, a total of twenty-two “ETHNIC MINORITIES,” who ran as Democrats, were sued by their Republican challengers, before nearly all of the lawsuits got dropped.
Judge DaSean Jones’s lawsuit proceeded, and ultimately his “ELECTORAL WIN” was nullified and deemed invalid by a visiting judge, Judge David Peeples.
After a short trial, Judge David Peeples ordered a new election, ruling that 1,430 votes were cast illegally, including those cast by voters who lived outside Harris County, Texas.
“BACK DROP.”
What most folks don’t know about the 180th Criminal District Court race is that both Judge DaSean Jones and his challenger, Tami Pierce, were my clients. Therefore, I publicly declare that neither of my clients cheated nor sought an unfair advantage over the other during the 2022 Midterm Election.
Tonight, I will expose the people I believe were the culprits behind the 2022 Midterm Election debacle and the paper shortages, which served as justification for the 20 lawsuits brought against the Democrats who won their races.
I will also explain why so many sitting “DEMOCRATIC JUDGES” were challenged and lost their benches, along with exposing the culprits, who spearheaded the efforts to purge “BLACK JUDGES” from local judicial benches.
“CLOSING THOUGHTS.”
I strongly encourage Democrats with limited budgets and resources to reach out to 1230 KCOH Radio, “THE SOURCE,” and place your political advertisements on their station. And if you have something on your mind, the number to call is (713)668-1230.
