Gilbert Garcia and Dr. Jack Christie Value “OUR” Vote Dear Fellow Houstonian,

The recently released University of Houston Hobby School of Public Affairs Poll claims that 34% of the Houstonians polled favor John Whitmire in the race for Mayor, and 31% favor Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee. The rest of the candidates, according to the poll all have under 4%, of the vote.

What I’m encouraging you to do is “IGNORE THE HOBBY POLL” and go to the early voting polls to vote in person between Monday, October 23, 2023, through Friday, November 3, 2023.

YOU HAVE CHOICES

Julian Bemer Martinez, Lee Kaplan, Gilbert Garcia, M.J. Khan, Chanel Mbala, Annie “Mama” Garcia, M. “Griff” Griffin, B. Ivy, Kathy Lee Tatum, Robert Gallegos, David C. Lowy, Gaylon S. Caldwell, John Whitmire, Jack Christie, Sheila Jackson Lee, and Naoufal Houjami are the candidates running for Mayor of Houston, Texas on the upcoming Tuesday, November 7, 2023, City of Houston Mayoral ballot.

GILBERT GARCIA is the best choice for our Democratic-leaning readers. But remember, the City of Houston Mayoral Election in nonpartisan.

MAKE A WISE CHOICE

If for some reason you can’t vote early, please cast your vote for Former METRO Chairman Gilbert Garcia if you are one of my Democratic-leaning friends, readers, or supporters. I’m encouraging my Republican-leaning friends to vote for Dr. Jack Christie on Election Day.

CHOOSE SUBSTANCE OVER SYMBOLISM

Either Gilbert Garcia, or Dr. Jack Christie will be elected the next Mayor if we can convince Houstonians to choose substance, character, and experience, over symbolism, political affiliation, and perceived popularity on Tuesday, November 7, 2023, in our beloved Bayou City.

I can be reached at (281)788-3033 if you have any questions.

REAL-LIFE EXPERIENCE. ROCK-SOLID INTEGRITY.

ative Texan Julian Ramirez, 58, is a licensed attorney who has worked in the Harris County criminal courts for more than 32 years. A second-generation U. S. citizen, Julian’s story epitomizes the American Dream.

Julian’s great-grandfather was recruited to the U. S. from Mexico in 1908 to help build railroads. The move ensured a better life and security for his family and generations to follow. Julian’s grandparents became sharecroppers, raising their children on a Fort Bend County farm during the Great Depression. Like many Mexican Americans of the time, his parents attained only a grade school education. However, the value of an education coupled with hard work was not lost on his parents. They raised seven children in a two-bedroom house without air conditioning “across the tracks” on Rosenberg’s working-class north side. They faithfully attended Our Lady of Guadalupe Church every Sunday and made sure each of their seven children graduated from high school and attended college.

Growing up, Julian and his siblings stocked shelves and worked the cash register in the small family grocery store to help support the family. The experience taught him the value hard work and the importance of providing a service to the community.

Julian received his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1986 and his Doctor of Jurisprudence in 1989 from the University of Texas at Austin. Julian’s dedication to public service led him to a 27-year career at the Harris County District Attorney’s Office.

Julian prosecuted thousands of felony cases and tried more than 150 first chair jury trials for crimes ranging from death penalty capital murders to DWI’s. He was promoted to chief felony prosecutor in 1994, managing large dockets of felony cases, and division chief in 2007. He has overseen multiple felony courts, the public corruption unit, and the civil rights division. He has also handled many gang cases, high-profile matters, and complex investigations.

His retirement from the DA’s Office in December 2016 was a short one. When the current DA recused her office from handling hundreds of cases, district court judges appointed Julian to prosecute more than 50 of them. He has continued to try violent crime cases, including capital murder and murder, to guilty verdicts.

Julian has been asked many times to share his expertise by teaching police officers at the Houston Police Academy and prosecutors at the DA’s Office and across the state. Julian has taught thousands of police and prosecutors on various criminal and investigative topics.

Julian is active in the Memorial Park 1st Ward congregation of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and his son’s boy scout troop. He lives in Houston with his wife, Caroline Dozier, their 13-year-old son, and their two dogs.

Our History

Way Engineering's quest for building excellence began in 1918 when a modest but dedicated refrigeration business opened its doors in Houston.

Way Engineering, Ltd is one of the nation’s largest and most experienced mechanical contractors. We specialize in commercial air conditioning, plumbing, piping, and the maintenance of these systems. Way Engineering is at the forefront of design build/design assist, preconstruction, commissioning, building information modeling, and quality control.

Throughout the years, Way has excelled by pioneering new mechanical system technologies and always striving to be at the forefront of technological innovation. As early as 1930, Way pioneered the use of ice as a cooling agent in early thermal storage air conditioning systems installed in churches and movie theaters, a technology used extensively today. Innovation and education remain two of the cornerstones of the Way “building excellence” philosophy.

McCorvey Companies purchased Way Engineering, LTD. on December 3, 2012. It was an exciting venture for everyone involved. The company relocated to 8610 Wallisville Rd, Houston, TX. With new offices, more warehouse space, and new state of the art machinery, Way Engineering is stronger than ever.

The Way commitment to building excellence began in 1918 and McCorvey Companies will continue that excellence into the future.
