ABOUT THE CANDIDATES
Vote Gemayel Haynes for Judge of the 486th Criminal Court in the 2024 Harris County Democratic Primary!
The Case for
Gemayel Haynes
-
Gemayel Haynes grew up in a labor household in New Orleans. He is a smart lawyer with excellent local degrees who has been both a prosecutor and a public defender.
-
Gemayel had to rebuild his life with his family after Hurricane Katrina. He brings the same resilience that helped him rebuild with him to court each and every day.
-
As a former prosecutor who saw firsthand the nature of the current DA’s office, he knows how to handle the relationship between the DA and the bench so that people are safe and get justice.
-
Gemayel’s opponents include the chief of staff for the scandal-ridden DA, and the spouse of a judge who has taken a terrible approach to crime.
Vote Lauren Ashley Simmons for House District 146 in the 2024 Harris County Democratic Primary!
The Case for
Lauren Ashley Simmons
-
Lauren Ashley Simmons is an organizer with the National Domestic Workers Alliance, a mother in HISD, and one of the most grassroots candidates to ever run for office in the State of Texas.
-
Lauren is one of the strongest advocates against the HISD takeover and went viral for challenging the current superintendent regarding his terrible takeover policies.
-
Lauren has a clear vision for a more progressive Harris County and a more progressive Texas: universal healthcare, real protections against flooding and local environmental hazards, easy access to wages and voting for all Texans, and fighting Greg Abbott’s destructive Operation Lonestar.
-
Lauren’s opponent, Shawn Thierry, is funded by rightwing billionaires who are hellbent on destroying public education. Thierry has also pushed Greg Abbott’s regressive stances on trans issues and school book bans.
