AUBREY R. TAYLOR: “Please be informed that Ericka McCrutcheon is asking for “OUR” vote in the race for Houston City Council At-Large Position #4, on Tuesday, November 5, 2019.”

Her Work:

For ten years, Ericka gave legendary leadership at Southwest Airlines as a Customer Service Supervisor at Houston’s Hobby Airport. She currently is the small business owner of the Dunamis Group, LLC, a general contracting, remodeling and maintenance company serving commercial buildings and medical clinics, assisting them in remodeling, maintenance, and drain cleaning needs since 2006. She is also a licensed Realtor, with Royce Realty Commercial Group, where she buy and sell real estate as an investor and assist others in their real estate goals. She also helps private investors with property management needs.

Her Community Service:

She is the President of the Kirkwood Civic Club where she encourages and motivates her community in civic pride and community service. Ericka believes that our system of government is designed to work form the bottom up. It all begins with, “We, the People.” The uniqueness of America is that we are people who have a government and not a government who has people. We, the People, must and should take responsible leadership of our communities and strive to make them what we desire them to be. Ericka’s conservative leadership rooted in biblical principles has reclaimed her Kirkwood Community. The Kirkwood Community like many older Houston communities was transitioning by aging residents, falling property values and increase rental properties. Deed restriction violations were high, and homeowners were discouraged. Ericka saw the needs, accepted the challenges of what was happening in her community and stepped up to give the necessary leadership to turn the situation around. Be-

ginning with the reigniting of her Civic Club, she then built a relationship with the City of Houston Department of Neighborhood and the Houston Police Department on enforcement of ordinance and deed restrictions to make safer and cleaner neighborhoods that turned her community around. She encourages homeownership investments by showing others how to qualify for the first time homeownership programs instead of renting. As President of the Kirkwood Civic Club, she has outline more plans for espionage beautification upgrades, signage upgrades, participation in the “Adopt-A-Drain”program, sidewalk repairs and a Neighbors Sharing and Caring Program. She is currently working with TXDOT on a remedy for the flooding issues on streets in the Kirkwood subdivision. As the President of Kirkwood Civic Club, Ericka has fought Developers on the inundation and concentration of tax credit apartment in the South Belt Area. She believes that affordable housing should be made available in all areas of Houston, and not just concentrated in one area. Again, Ericka took the lead and built a coalition with other Civic Club Leaders like Sagemont, Sagemont Park, Rainbow Valley, Beverly Hills, and Scarsdale Civic Clubs to speak before City Hall showing accurate data that the South Belt Area already has more than its share of the tax credit affordable housing apartments. The concentration of more would overly strain our already dated infra-

HOUSTON - 2019

structure, schools and services and considerations should be given to other areas of the City that had none. We engaged our City Councilman, Dwight Boykins, he listened and working together we found a solution. Leadership sometimes has to speak to powerful Developers, but the voice that is silent is the voice that becomes irrelevant. Community-based Leadership is the key to the success of all our Communities. Empowerment of Community Leadership means empowerment of the people to help themselves to make their communities into what they want them to be. Houston communities are short of financial resources because they are short on Community Leaders. Ericka believes that community-based leadership is the sine qua non that gives everyone a seat at the table.

City Council At-Large Position #4

I am a Servant Leader, who believes that Leadership is to be practiced and demonstrated through positive influence upon others. Houstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest resource is the people, whom I will endeavor to serve and encourage to be community servants reaching higher and to become agents of influence to make our city even greater. Family, faith, education, entrepreneurship, community, and civic pride are the building blocks that make communities strong and keep them thriving. As

your City Councilwoman, At-Large #4, I will work to empower community leadership and coalitionbuilding with City Hall, Houston Police Department, Businesses, and the Faith-based communities. We will work together to revitalize our communities through the opportunities zones working with public and private partnership for community redevelopments, business development, and job creation. Public and private partnerships are essential for the revitalization of communities and working together we can make it happen. I will endeavor to promote these values by working with the other District Councils adding extra representation and working with community Leaders throughout Houston to set and meet desired goals.

I am Ericka McCrutcheon,

Procedures for Voting

When a voter arrives at a polling location, the voter will be asked to present one of the seven (7) acceptable forms of photo ID that is current or expired no more than four years. If a voter does not possess one of the seven (7) acceptable forms of photo ID and cannot obtain one due to a reasonable impediment, the voter may present a supporting form of ID and execute a Reasonable Impediment Declaration, noting the voter’s reasonable impediment to obtaining an acceptable form of photo ID, and stating that the voter is the same person on the presented form of supporting form of ID. Election officials will still be required by State law to determine whether the voter’s name on the identification provided matches the name on the official list of registered voters (“OLRV”). After a voter presents their ID, whether it’s an acceptable form of photo ID or a supporting form of ID, the election worker will compare it to the OLRV. If the name on the ID matches the name on the list of registered voters, the voter will follow the regular procedures for voting. If the name does not match exactly but is “substantially similar” to the name on the OLRV, the voter will be permitted to vote as long as the voter signs an affidavit stating that the voter is the same person on the list of registered voters. If a voter possesses an acceptable form of photo ID but does not have it at the polling place, the voter will still be permitted to vote provisionally. The voter will have six (6) days to present an acceptable form of photo identification to the county voter registrar, or fill out the natural disaster affidavit referenced in the Exemption/Exceptions section below, or the voter’s ballot will be rejected. Alternatively, a voter who possesses an acceptable form of photo ID but does not have it at the polling place may choose to leave the polling place and return before the close of the polls on election day with said acceptable form of photo ID to, if the voter would otherwise qualify, vote a regular ballot at that time.

“I’M ASKING FOR YOUR VOTE AND SUPPORT!” Exceptions:

Voters with a disability who do not have an acceptable form of photo ID may also apply with the county voter registrar for a permanent exemption. The application must contain written documentation from either the U.S. Social Security Administration evidencing he or she has been determined to have a disability, or from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs evidencing a disability rating of at least 50 percent. In addition, the applicant must state that he or she has no acceptable form of photo identification. Those who obtain a disability exemption will be allowed to vote by presenting a voter registration certificate reflecting the exemption, and will not need to execute a Reasonable Impediment Declaration. Please contact your county voter registrar for more details. Voters who have a consistent religious objection to being photographed and voters who do not present any form of acceptable photo identification as a result of certain natural disasters as declared by the President of the United States or the Texas Governor, may vote a provisional ballot, appear at the voter registrar’s office within six (6) calendar days after election day, and sign an affidavit swearing to the religious objection or natural disaster, in order for your ballot to be counted. Please contact your county voter registrar for more details. SOURCE: https://www.hctax.net/voter/voterid
