Jarvis Johnson For Congress

You have the opportunity to bring in a New Direction By Voting!

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 18^th Congressional District. The current dropout rate, unemployment rate, incarceration rate, and poor health care of the 18^th Congressional district are unacceptable. The incumbent has had sixteen years to make the 18^th Congressional district better than she received it, but she has failed and time is up. It is time for a New Direction!

I am the Right Choice for a New Direction, because I have and will always be an advocate for the people. I began my career as an advocate for children and education, I later became an advocate for families, then seniors, and when I saw that there was a greater need I ran for City Council. As a councilman, I have been a work horse for the citizens of District B. Now there is a greater need from the people, and I am asking you for your support in helping me fill that need by being your representative for the United States 18^th Congressional District.

Vote tomorrow at your polling location for Jarvis Johnson - Democrat for Congressional District 18. Position No. 1 on your ballot.

Money Does Not Vote

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 people in the 18^th Congressional District who yearn for a new direction. Remember, people vote, not money.

Last November’s city elections once again proved that the candidate with the most money doesn’t always win. Our opponent keeps dodging us and refuses to participate in many debates throughout the district where voters can ask all the candidates questions about job creation and eliminating the drop-out rate. She even backed out of tonight’s debate at Rice University. Our opponent refuses to participate because her record on these issues is one of ineffectiveness.

Our campaign has been enthusiastically embraced by the voters. This past week our phone calling picked up a tremendous amount of positive responses by voters saying they are supporting my candidacy and had already voted early. We will continue our grassroots effort that we strongly believe will lead us to victory on March 2.
