State Rep. Jolanda Jones (HD-147) has a level of courage that Christian Menefee and Amanda Edwards were not born with. Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee (top left) has $391,603.07 inside his campaign bank account, but that's chump change for a congressional race. Listen, what Menefee has in his campaign bank account is not nearly enough money to overcome his "COWARDLY DEMEANOR" and spineless disposition. To overcome the fact that he has "NO BACKBONE" and bends over, scratches his head, files lawsuits, shuffles his feet, and does the "BOOTS ON THE GROUND DANCE" whenever commanded to do so by Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis. Just so you know, for Christian Menefee to have any chance of winning the "SPEACIAL ELECTION" against State Rep. Jolanda Jones, he's going to need at least $3 million to overcome his sissified reputation. As for former Councilwoman Amanda Edwards, she's little more than a "PERENNIAL RUNNER" searching for relevance, after she abandoned her At-Large Houston City Council Position 4 seat to spoil the 2020 Democratic Party Primary race for the United States Senate and prevent State Senator Royce West from gaining the Democratic Party nomination.

Amanda Edwards and Christian Menefee Are Two Weaklings who Would Yield Power to Commissioner Ellis if Elected
AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©
Some folks are impressed with the fact that Christian Menefee has a measly $391,603.07 inside his campaign bank account. And according to her filing with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), Amanda Edwards has $375,023.97 in her campaign war chest. Another candidate, Isaiah Martin, has $218,288.00 in cash on hand, according to his most recent Federal Election Commission (FEC) filing.
Remember, when Amanda Edwards ran against Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee for the 18th Congressional District of Texas, on Tuesday, March 5, 2025, in the race, in the Democratic Party Primary, Amanda could even beat a weak and feeble "SHE-JACK" who was stricken with pancreatic cancer at the time.
Amanda Edwards raised $1.6 million and did not even seek the support of any local Black-owned media outlet or newspaper. Ultimately, Amanda Edwards was dismantled by Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee during a time when she was most vulnerable, after "SHE-JACK" had just lost the race for mayor of Houston in "HUMILIATING FASHION" to John Whitmire.
As a refresher, John Whitmire received 129,809 votes, accounting for 64.4% of the vote, and Sheila Jackson Lee received 71,719 votes, for 35.6%, marking the worst political defeat ever handed to "SHE-JACK" during her political career.
When it came for Amanda Edwards to seal the deal and send "SHE-JACK" into retirement, Amanda Edwards choked and proved herself to not be up to the challenge. After suffering a humiliating loss to John Whitmire, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee whipped Amanda Edwards and proved that Amanda isn't ready for "BIG LEAGUE POLITICS" in Harris County, Texas.
Speaking of Amanda Edwards's weakness as a candidate, she reportedly spent $1.6 million. Still, she received only 14,668 votes, representing a measly 37.3% of the vote, when there were over 417,000 registered voters living within the boundaries on Tuesday, March 5, 2024, who could have voted for her.
Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee did enough to defeat her Democratic challenger (Amanda Edwards), but "SHE-JACK" only received 23,629 votes, for 60.0%, which wan't impressive, when you look at the fact that there were over 417,000 registered voters living within the boundaries of the 18th Congressional District of Texas at the time.
"HARD FACTS."
Listen, $300,000.00 sounds like a lot of money, but for congressional races, $300,000.00 is chump change, and nothing to be running around town bragging about. How can I make this claim? Below, you will find a listing of the "Top 10" congressional races from other states in terms of the combined total of money raised by candidates.
A combined total of over $25 million was raised by candidates running for the 7th Congressional District in Virginia during the 2024 Presidential Election cycle.
A combined total of over $22 million was raised by candidates running for the 8th Congressional District in New York during the 2024 Presidential Election cycle.
A combined total of over $20 million was raised by candidates running for the 3rd Congressional District in Colorado during the 2024 Presidential Election cycle.
A combined total of over $20 million was raised by candidates running for the 41st Congressional District in California during the 2024 Presidential Election cycle.
A combined total of over $19 million was raised by candidates running for the 4th Congressional District in Louisiana during the 2024 Presidential Election cycle.
A combined total of over $18 million was raised by candidates running for the 17th Congressional District in New York during the 2024 Presidential Election cycle.

A combined total of over $17 million was raised by candidates running for the 14th Congressional District in New York during the 2024 Presidential Election cycle.
#10 - California District 27
$16,970,272.00
A combined total of over $16 million was raised by candidates running for the 27th Congressional District in California during the 2024 Presidential Election cycle.
State Rep. Jolanda Jones was born with a "FEARLESS DEMEANOR" unlike Harris County District Attorney Christian Menefee who was born with a "COWARDLY DEMEANOR" and former At-Large Position 4, Councilwoman Amanda Edwards who has proven herself to be a "BONIFIED QUITTER" and has devolved into a beautiful woman who is trying to use her good-looks to help her succeed. (CLICK HERE) Jolanda Jones was featured on KHOU 11 News for chasing down the criminals who stole her purse while she was at the old KCOH Radio headquarters, which was located at 5011 Almeda Road, Houston, Texas 77004, at the time.
Jolanda Jones has proven herself to be a champion all her life. Could she be the champion the people of the 18th Congressional District are desperately seeking?
Powerful Black State Rep. Ron Reynolds (right) could have possibly won the "SPECIAL ELECTION" for the 18th Congressional District of Texas, if he had not been convinced to stand down by businessman Eric Carr and other "COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS" who fear that too many Democrats running for CD-18 could dilute the field. Former prizefighter turned businessman Eric Carr (left), the former son-in-law of "BIG GEORGE" Foreman, the late two-time Heavyweight Champion of the World, has made it clear that he will in no way, shape, or form, be endorsing (George Foreman IV) or deploying the use any of his vast financial assets, or political influence to help his former brother-in-law (George Foreman IV) succeed with his plot to run for CD-18 as a Republican and split the predominantly Democratic field and win the 18th Congressional District of Texas in a low-voter turnout special election. Due to Eric Carr's tutelage and friendship with the late Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, his understanding of the 18th Congressional District of Texas is unparalleled. Make no mistake about it, "NO SINGLE MAN" can influence the outcome of the upcoming Tuesday, November 4, 2025, "SPECIAL ELECTION" for the 18th Congressional District of Texas more than former prizefighter Eric Carr, who plans to throw his full support and endorsement behind powerful Democratic State Rep. Jolanda Jones (HD-147), when she enters the race.
State Rep. Jolanda Jones is Expected to Enter the Race for the 18th Congressional District in the Coming Weeks
AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©
On Monday, June 2, 2025, the 89th Legislative Session will close, and shortly thereafter, powerful State Rep. Jolanda Jones (HD-147) will enter the race for the 18th Congressional District of Texas and bolt into the "TOP-TIER" of candidates.
State Rep. Jolanda Jones has unquestioned "DEMOCRATIC CREDENTIALS" and an undying love for people of all ethnicities and socio-economic statuses. And on top of possessing the heart of a lion, State Rep. Jones has relevant experience in writing legislation and fighting on the front lines to seek justice for the disenfranchised, downtrodden, and voiceless.
Last night, I spoke candidly and openly with Eric Carr, a former prizefighter and the late George Foreman's former son-in-law. Carr, a person whom I respect for his political acumen, and understanding of politics from his days of protecting, defending, and looking out for his dear friend, the late Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, made it clear to me that he has no plans to endorse his former brother-in-law George Foreman IV, in the race for the 18th Congressional District of Texas.
Carr stated, "I am in no way torn in the endorsement of George Foreman IV. I am not endorsing him in any way."
"I will not be using any of my influence, political capital, or financial resources to support George Foreman IV. However, I wish him well, but he is not a candidate of my choice," stated former prizefighter Eric Carr, speaking of his former brother-in-law.
After Carr had made himself clear regarding George Foreman IV, our conversations pivoted to other candidates that he would consider supporting. Remember, Eric Carr has a name that carries weight in the northeast Houston, Texas area, which could be a pivotal factor for candidates endorsed by him.
Eric Carr spent a considerable amount of time traveling throughout the 18th Congressional District of Texas with his dear friend and confidant, the late Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, whom he loved dearly, respected, and admired.
Born and raised in the 18th Congressional District, when surveying the field of candidates and potential candidates running for the coveted seat, one name looms large above all others from Eric Carr's perspective. What's the name?
"Truthfully, none of the candidate quite excite me. When I think about my dear friend, the late Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, I think of her as strong. Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee was a straight fighter."
According to Carr, "It didn't matter if you agreed with her or disagreed with her, Aubrey, is that she never took a wooden nickel. The Congresswoman never backed down."
"Even when the Congresswoman was in a fight by herself, she stood strong," explained Carr.
Carr stated, "When I think about the honorable Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, she reminded me of the legendary 'THOMAS HITMAN HEARNS,' who may not have won all his fights, but he always showed up to fight."
"If you want to know the truth, I'm hearing that Jolanda Jones might enter the race, and she's my friend. And if I had to go with somebody, Aubrey, and if I had to endorse somebody, and if I had to use my influence and help them identify someone who would be "BOOTS ON THE GROUND," I would point to my dear friend State Rep. Jolanda Jones," stated Carr.
Carr closed out our conversation by stating, "Needless to say, I am in no way torn in my decision-making process. I will not be supporting or endorsing George Foreman IV in any way, shape, or form in the upcoming election for the 18th Congressional District of Texas."

As many as 30 Candidates Could Run for the 18th Congressional District of Texas on Tuesday, November 4, 2025
AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©
Could the son of the late two-time Boxing Heavyweight Champion of the World, George Foreman, be the perfect antidote to Commissioner Rodney Ellis’s “PUPPET” Christian Menefee, whose campaign already appears to be floundering?
“BERRY INTERVIEW.”
On Monday, June 2, 2025, the people of the 18th Congressional District of Texas will get their first glimpse into George Foreman IV when he appears on the Michael Berry Show from 8:15 am to 8:30 am, which airs on NewsRadio 740 KTRH, one of Houston’s go-to stations for local and National Political News, Weather, Traffic, and political analysis.
Michael Berry, one of the best in the radio broadcasting business, and other political “KINGMAKERS” like Sean Hannity and Mark Levin headline a star-studded contingent of “POLITICAL MINDS” when it comes to politics. Does Michael Berry know something about George IV that he wants his listeners to be aware of?
“KCOH RUMBLE.”
If you want to get a good understanding of “BLACK POLITICS” and what’s unfolding with the 18th Congressional District of Texas, you had better not forget to tune into KCOH Radio (www.1230KCOH.com) on Thursday, June 19, 2025, which is “JUNETEENTH,” when Hall of Fame Broadcaster Ralph Cooper and Investigative Reporter Aubrey R. Taylor, will put their nearly 100 years of covering the “BLACK COMMUNITY” to the test in a two-hour show.
“DIRTY POLITICS.”
On Tuesday, March 3, 2020, when Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee received 6,202 absentee mail ballot votes, Sheree Harris Fisher, whom my investigative team embedded inside Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee’s campaign had already alerted my team that Gerald Womack, was using his office as the “BALLOT HARVESTING HEADQUARTERS” for Sheila Jackson Lee and other local candidates, joined at the hip with Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis, and other local Black leaders.
As you may recall, during this 2020 Democratic Party primary, 6,932 absentee mail ballots were cast in the Democratic Party Primary race for the 18th Congressional District of Texas.
Sheila Jackson Lee received 6,202 absentee mail ballots, Marc Flores received 271, Jerry Ford Sr. received 168, Michael Allen received 118, Bimal Patel received 70, Stevens Orozco received 70, and Donovan Boson received 33.
For over three decades, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee held control of the 18th Congressional District of Texas by using “MAFIA STYLED” methods to win re-election.
Gerald Womack, the owner of Womack Development & Investment Realtors, is the alleged culprit who ran Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee’s “BALLOT HARVESTING OPERATION” out of his business address located at 4412 Almeda Road in Houston’s historic Third Ward.
I am not sure if Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee ever ran a fair race to win re-election. From the time “SHE-JACK” was recruited by Ken Lay, the late disgraced CEO of Enron Corporation, to run against Congressman Craig Washington, she and Gerald Womack ran scheme after scheme to hold the people of the 18th Congressional District of Texas hostage by any means necessary.
“THE PLAYBOOK.”
Yes, Governor Greg Abbott, Secretary of State Jane Nelson, and Attorney General Ken Paxton are very familiar with the “BALLOT HARVESTING SCHEME” that Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee and Gerald Womack ran on her Democratic and Republican challengers for years. How do I know?
My investigative team, with the help of the late Alan Vera and his wife Colleen Vera, unveiled the “BALLOT HARVESTING SCHEME” run from 4412 Almeda Road and discovered that Gerald Womack was the mastermind, who hired a notorious “BALLOT HARVESTER” named Gloria Palmer, who also harvested ballots for other local politicians.
Long story short, Gloria Palmer is a former prostitute who mastered the art of forging signatures and served as the perfect “SCAPEGOAT” for Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee and other local politicians who funded their illegal ballot harvesting schemes.
How did a “DEAD PERSON” who has been deceased for over 29 years request a “MAIL BALLOT” to vote for Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee during the Tuesday, March 3, 2020, Democratic Party Primary race for the 18th Congressional District of Texas?
“DIRTY NEGROES.”
Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee and Gerald Womack, her campaign chairman, utilized the shield of the 18th Congressional District of Texas to prevent the FBI and Department of Justice from intervening in Harris County, Texas.
Once Kim Ogg became the Harris County District Attorney in 2016, she appears to have used the shield of the Harris County District Attorney’s Office to protect Gloria Palmer and other “DIRTY NEGROES” from getting arrested and prosecuted for election fraud.
“ANYTHING’S POSSIBLE.”
I have no doubt that “BIG GEORGE” is smiling down on his son George Foreman, IV, and saying, “Run, son, Run,” from his final resting place.
One of the things I love most about the legacy of “BIG GEORGE” is that he was a man of courage and intestinal fortitude, from what I saw from watching him over the years. And if you ask me, his son, George Foreman IV, has the same gleam in his eyes.
“ANYBODY’S RACE.”
The newly-drawn 18th Congressional District of Texas is now 43.4% Hispanic, 32.2% Black, 16.7% White, 4.9% Asian, 2.2% Two or more races, and 0.7% Other, according to the (CPVI) Cook Partisan Voting Index. Can the 18th Congressional District of Texas get flipped from “BLUE” to “RED” on Tuesday, November 4, 2025? The answer is YES. However, it will take a candidate of the correct type who can draw support from both the right and left sides of the political aisle to win what is expected to be a low voter turnout in the December 2025 Runoff Election.

The entry of the late 2-time Heavyweight champion George Foreman's son into the race for the vacant 18th Congressional District of Texas seat has turned the race on its head. County Attorney Christian Menefee's campaign has failed to gain any traction. The campaign strategy used by former Houston City Councilwoman Amanda Edwards has been unable to take hold, just as it did when she raised and spent over $1.6 million during the Tuesday, March 5, 2024, Democratic Party Primary. Remember, most people are beginning to view Amanda Edwards as a perennial runner for public office.
Congresswoman Erica Lee Carter is a much better option for the people of the 18th Congressional District than a man with a weak, subservient, cowardly demeanor like County Attorney Christian Menefee, who is beholden to Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis. The people of the 18th Congressional District of Texas must not allow Commissioner Rodney Ellis's trick, which he and his puppet, Christian Menefee, are trying to pull off on Tuesday, November 4, 2025. If Christian Menefee is elected, he plans to hand over control of the 18th Congressional District of Texas to Commissioner Rodney Ellis, just as he has done with his current position as Harris County Attorney. Congresswoman Eric Lee Carter is pictured above with her loving father, Elwyn Lee, as she's sworn in as the U.S. Representative for the 18th Congressional District of Texas. She's also pictured above with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

The late Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee and former prizefighter Eric Carr shared a unique bond that few people would understand. However, according to several sources, their caring and compassionate admiration for one another was unmistakable. That said, Eric Carr would face a tough decision if his former brother-in-law, George Foreman IV, and the daughter of his late friend and confidant were to run against each other for the 18th Congressional District of Texas on Tuesday, November 4, 2025.

Comparatively speaking, Judge Mike Engelhart, who was hugely popular, and well respected, only received 59,964 votes, for 39.1%, which shows that any judge running for re-election in next year's Tuesday, March 3, 2025, Democratic Party Primary can lose their bench, including the twenty-six (26) African American incumbent judges who are up for re-election in the 2026 Midterm Election. Readers of Houston Business Connections Newspaper© are strongly encouraged to vote for Lieutenant Colonel Judge DaSean Jones on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, in the race for the 180th Criminal District Court in the Democratic Party Primary.
Former United States Attorney General Merrick Garland chose Judge Erica Hughes to serve as an Immigration Judge, where she presided over cases. Judge Erica Hughes has been an esteemed member of the U.S. Army National Guard of Texas in Austin since 2016, serving as a Judge Advocate. On January 1, 2025, Judge Erica Hughes, after being called an animal by an "LGBTQ ATTORNEY," named Ben L. Aderholt and unqualified by fellow judges from within the Harris County Democratic Party, during the 2024 Democratic Party Primary season she overcame the odds and defeated a very popular Democratic Party Judge named Mike Engelhart, one of our favorite judges in the race for the 151st Civil District Court in Harris County, Texas.
