Harris County Criminal Court at Law #19 candidate Juanita Jackson reveals truth on bail bond lies

October 29, 2022 by egberto

Democratic Candidate for Judge Juanita Jackson dispels the lies about the bail bond actions by Democratic judges from Republican candidates running for their positions. These types of lies should disqualify judge candidates from serving.

Juanita Jackson dispels the bail bond lies.

Watch Politics Done Right T.V. here.

Republicans have been attacking Harris County Democratic Judges with false attacks. They accused them of releasing criminals on lenient bail requirements claiming many then committed violent crimes. I have been asking various judges to defend themselves and dispel the lies. I found out today definitively from Ms. Jackson why they were quiet. They follow the judicial ethics rule they are bound by in Texas.

Sadly, the inability to address false attacks put Harris County, Texas, Democratic judges at a disadvantage. Juanita Jackson is not yet a judge, so she is free, to tell the truth. Juanita will be in our KPFT 90.1 FM Houston studio on Wednesday at noon to discuss bail bond lies. In our short interview, Ms. Jackson clarified that the Judges are following the law.

Republicans govern the state of Texas and create the laws. And it is the responsibility of the district attorney to provide evidence to hold those who they believe present a threat to society in jail. The constitution of Texas mandates judges to allow bail bonds for all but heinous crimes. But the combination of bail bond companies that loosened their substantial requirement to provide bonds, a constitution that mandates bonds, and a district attorney not providing evidence to keep the arrested locked up are responsible for those released, some of who ultimately commit crimes again.

Today’s show is packed with information as usual.

Topics:

Texas State Representative Jasmine Crockett, along with her Democratic Caucus, left Texas to block Republican’s voter suppression bill S.B 1 & H.B. 3. I have been watching freshman state representative Jasmine Crockett for some time. Her interviews are always fact-based and on point. This legislator knows the law and is never afraid to use it.
The head of Harris County’s governing body, Judge Lina Hidalgo, visited the Kingwood Area Democrats, Humble Area Democrats, and other active Area Democratic groups for our belated 4th of July celebration. Judge Lina Hidalgo raced down from her commitments at the Texas Legislature in Austin to be with this amalgamation of groups. Many of our incumbent Democratic judges roamed the 150+ attendees for ballot signatures. Grassroots in action is a beautiful thing.
Fmr. Sen. Claire McCaskill made it clear. She slammed GOP & Evangelical Ministers who would do well to reread the New Testament. She appropriately castigated the Evangelical Leaders. McCaskill reiterated that the reason their ICUs are at the highest levels is because of the failure of Republicans and Evangelical Ministers.
Rebecca Azor, Like It Or Not Host at The Benjamin Dixon Show & Independent Journalist, discusses why alternative media is needed. Rebecca Azor visited Politics Done Right to discuss her passion for independent political journalism where she leverages her voice to bring political discourse in a manner that brings in the masses. She does not disappoint in describing herself and how she does what she does.

Lillie Schechter, Harris County Democratic Party Chair, on winning in Texas and beyond.

June 1, 2021 by egberto

Retiring Harris County Democratic Party Chair Lillie Schechter discusses the changes she made to the Democratic Party in Harris County, Texas. She was successful.

Lillie Schechter, Harris County Democratic Party Chair speaks

See full episodes here.

Lillie Schechter is the retiring Harris County Democratic Party Chair. Texas’ Harris County is a bellwether county and the third-largest county in the country, Los Angeles and Cook County Illinois the only two more populous. Under her reign, Democrats have thrived in winning all major elections but getting out the vote for this reason that Republicans in the Texas State Legislature are attempting to carve out policies that undemocratically depress the votes of the Democratic base in the county.

So here are some of the things accomplished under her adminstration.

Swept the county winning every down-ballot race.
Flipped the 1st and 14th Court of Appeals.
Elected Judge Lina Hidalgo the youngest major county CEO in America.
Elected Commissioner Adrian Garcia.
Took control of the Harris County Commissioners Court!
Strengthened stronghold on Harris County by electing Democrats in every position on the ballot.
Played a part in taking back the White House.

2018 and 2020 were won because of the hard work and collaboration of the amazing staff, precinct chairs, clubs, volunteers, activists, donors and elected officials that make up our great party infrastructure.

“Over the last 4 years we’ve really revitalized the party, working to professionalize the organization, upgrading our brand with a new logo and website, moving the office to a storefront in the heart of Fifth Ward,” Schechtor said. “Transforming the work environment and staff structure to a year round operation with living wages and healthcare, and deliberately focusing on strengthening our relationships, engaging volunteers, and mobilizing voters in our core communities around the county.”

Here are just a few of our stats from the last 4 years:

Volunteers: 2,354 volunteers completing over 4,485 volunteer shifts
Digital Impressions: 6,416,880
Texts: 1,938,540
Phone Calls: 1,316,777
Mail: 1,153,248
Door Knocks: 208,574
Trainings: 100+

Over the past 4 years, HCDP raised almost $5 million to support the party staff and the Democratic elected officials and candidates. They’ve hosted events headlined by DNC Chair Jaime Harrison, former Chair Tom Perez, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Secretary Hillary Clinton, and so many more leaders of the Democratic Party.

About Diana Martinez Alexander

My name is Diana Martinez Alexander. I am a passionate educator, activist, organizer and voice for my community.

I am also running to be your next Harris County Commissioner for Precinct 3.

Precinct 3 deserves a commissioner who represents our community with passion, transparency, knowledge, and the willingness to listen. We deserve to have someone on Commissioners Court who will seek justice and equality for all under the law, someone who has spent time fighting for our kids, our parents, our neighbors, and our friends.

County Commissioners Court needs advocates from our community, who work everyday to make our county and our country better. I am a daughter of immigrants from right here in Harris County. I was the first in my family to go to college. getting a Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies from California State University, Los Angeles. I went on to earn a Master of Arts in Multicultural Urban Special Education and completed coursework for Educational Diagnostician and Principal from University of St. Thomas.

As an educator in a large, Houston-area urban school district, I have served special education students, linguistically diverse populations, and lower socio-economic communities. I’ve seen the struggles my students, their parents, and my fellow teachers and compassion workers go through.

They deserve better. I want them to have the same opportunities I had growing up to become the #HoustonStrong community leader I am today.
