Tomorrow is the day when you get to choose who will represent your issues. I began my campaign earlier this year, because of the missed opportunities in the 18th Congressional District. The current dropout rate, unemployment rate, incarceration rate, and poor health care of the 18th Congressional district are unacceptable. The incumbent has had sixteen years to make the 18th Congressional district...

We find it amusing this is the first time we’ve ever seen a press release from Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee saying she is on the house floor “fighting for jobs and health care.” During this campaign she’s had every opportunity to stand beside Jarvis Johnson and debate and answer questions about why she has failed miserably in getting jobs created in the 18th Congressional District. She has...

DATE: February 22, 2010
HOUSTON— When we launched our campaign for Congress forty-five days ago we knew full well that the incumbent, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, had close to a half of million dollars in the bank. We recognize that our opponent’s campaign is being financed by those that want to “play it safe” and support the incumbent. Our campaign is being supported by the...

Dear Friends,
Two years ago at this time, you, I and many other Houstonians put forward a herculean effort to help Barack Obama overwhelmingly carry the 18th Congressional District and Harris County during Presidential Primary. We were driven to victory then because of our desire to see dramatic change in the leadership of our great nation. My candidacy offers a new direction for the people of...
