Making Law and Order EQUAL Justice is Much More than A Slogan for Attorney Dedra Davis AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©
Attorney Dedra Davis takes commitments very seriously. So, when it comes to the slogan, "Making Law and Order EQUAL Justice" you can best believe that it's more than a play on words for her. "Every citizen will have a voice and fair day in court when I'm elected presiding judge of the 270th Judicial District Court in Harris County," says Davis who will be seeking to unseat Republican Judge Brent Gamble on November 6th. According to Davis, every citizen will also be treated with dignity and respect in her courtroom once she's elected. An attorney with more than 30-years of legal experience, Dedra Davis appears to well-able and duly-qualified to preside over the court she’s seeking. Can she win? Well, that’s the million-dollar question that only Harris County voters are able to answer on Tuesday, November 6, 2018.

DEDRA DAVIS 2018 DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR 270TH CIVIL DISTRICT COURT JUDGE
However, as it stands right now, The Transport Workers Union, The Texas Coalition of Black Democrats, Tejano Democrats, Area 5 Democrats, and GLBT Political Caucus are just a few of the organizations that have publicly declared Dedra Davis as the best candidate to represent the 270th Judicial District Court. How experienced is she? Well, I’m glad that you asked, Dedra Davis is licensed to practice law in the State and Federal Courts. She’s also a Certified Mediator/Instructor. And did I mention that she has over 30-years of experience as a practicing attorney? And get this, back on Tuesday, March 6, 2018, in the Harris County Democratic Primary, Dedra Davis received 133,544 overall votes. While back in the Tuesday, March 6, 2018, Harris County Republican Primary, Judge Brent Gamble only received 113,790 overall votes.
EVERY VOTE WILL COUNT ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2018
Now, the primaries are like preseason football – it really doesn’t mean too much unless you lose. Both Judge Brent Gamble and Dedra Davis must now do a reset and rally their troops. So, don’t forget that early voting will begin on Monday, October 22, 2018, and end on Friday, November 6, 2018. And if for some strange reason you can’t seem to find the time to vote early, you can still cast your highly-coveted vote on Tuesday, November 6, 2018 – So happy voting my friend!

DON’T FORGET THAT EVERY VOTE WILL MATTER ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6TH IN HARRIS COUNTY ANALYSIS BY AUBREY R. TAYLOR
T
here’s a lot of talk about Texas being a red state floating around. Sure, traditionally that has been the case. But after the historic showing put on display by Texas Democrats back on Tuesday, March 6, 2018, reasonable minds would have to agree that the aforementioned distinction could possibly be on the verge of becoming a hue of a different shade in the very near future – especially if Democrats have anything to say about it.. But on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, the day when Democratic hopefuls and Republican hopefuls are set to face off, nothing should be taken for granted. So, don’t forget that we must make it our business to elect the “BEST-QUALIFIED” candidates who value our vote when we go to the polls to cast our vote!
EARLY VOTING PERIOD:
The early voting period will begin on Monday, October 22, 2018, and end on Friday, November 2, 2018 in the State of Texas.
