Our Vote is Our Voice

2022 Candidate Endorsements

This new political blog website officially launched in late 2020 and is focused on issues important to Harris County residents.  While the administrator is a moderate Democrat, this blog is independently operated and not affiliated with any political party or political action committee (PAC).  This political blog is also not part of the Harris County Democrats Association formed in 1953 by Mrs. Frankie Randolph and later led by Chair Woman Billie Carr.  We are an independent political blog and simply offer candid, mainstream perspective to help the Democratic Party improve and be successful.

​

For the 2022 election cycle, this website researched each political candidate that will appear on the Harris County November ballot and then endorsed those candidates (see below) that we believe will best serve the interests of all Harris County residents.  Being moderate Democrats, we are naturally inclined to endorse Democratic candidates.  That said, a candidate must earn our vote.  To that end, we endorse the best candidates regardless of political affiliation.  Prior to making our endorsement, we considered, among other things, each candidate's record, prior job performance, ethics, education, qualifications, priorities, stand on the issues, and vision for the future.  To gather this candidate profile data, our research included, as applicable, online searches, review of media reports, visiting each candidate's website, reviewing candidate questionnaires, listening to candidate interviews, observing candidates in public meetings/events, etc.  After our review, we proudly endorsed approximately 80% of the Democratic candidates.  If we failed to endorse a Democrat, we either identified troublesome issues (e.g. failing to proactively address the violent crime wave, reckless bail bond decisions, allegations of corruption, scandals, general incompetence, etc.) and/or we were more impressed with the challenger.  

​

Please SCROLL DOWN (14 pages) to view our candidate endorsements.  We strongly urge you to consider those candidates when casting your vote.  Remember, early voting runs from Oct. 24 - Nov. 4, and election day will be on Tuesday, November 8, 2022.

UPDATE 11/9/22:  The general election results are in.  While most of our local Democratic candidates barely squeaked by to win, all of our statewide candidates lost.  Texas may eventually be a blue state, but it's going to take more time and the nomination of solid, mainstream (moderate) candidates who can appeal to urban and rural voters.  If our Democratic candidates can dominate the urban areas, win in the suburbs, and at least be competitive in the rural areas, we CAN win statewide elections.  To view our blog post on the 2022 election, please click on the link below:
