Bay Area Houston

Let’s start with The Ugly

The Ugly.
What the living hell is happening to the white, male, Democratic Judges in Harris County? The purge continued with the loss of Judge Mike Englehart and Judge Robert Schaffer and I do mean “loss”. The losers are the citizens of Harris County who demand Judges who follow the law, do their fuckin job, and are fair to all parties. That is what Englehart and Schaffer brought to the courtroom. Why would anyone challenge them and why would anyone vote for their opponents? This is ugly. Real ugly. And stupid.

There is more ugly. After leaving the Mayoral race when Sheila Jackson Lee entered, Amanda Edwards endorsed Lee and ran for her congressional race. After being wiped out in the election Lee reentered her congressional race and won last night. Amanda lost and the Democratic Party has probably lost her as a candidate in the future. I wouldn’t blame her. The Party that wants young, talented, candidates to run for office didn’t vote for the young and very talented candidate. She lost.

The Bad.
With 6 candidates in the race to replace Senator Whitmire Representative Jarvis Johnson will be in a runoff with Molly Cook. This is bad only because Johnson is the best of the bunch and shouldn’t be in a runoff. Representative Harold Dutton won. Representative Shawn Thierry will be in a runoff for her seat. Her opponent received 49.79% of the vote while Ashton Woods caused the runoff with 5% of the vote. That is bad. Judge Ursula Hall won. That’s bad too.

The Good.
There is a lot of good that came last night. Sean Teare defeated District Attorney Kim Ogg by a wide margin. The good she has done for Harris County was all wiped out by her pettiness. Let’s thank her for her service and move forward. Senator out of Arizona, Kristen Sinema will not seek reelection. Yeah! The Democratic Socialist Pervez Agwan running against Congresswoman Lizzie Fletcher was wiped out by 60 points. Favorites Christian Menefee, Ed Gonzales, Jerry Garcia, and Judge Delgado will all move on to the general.

On to the general.
