The following was e-mailed to me:
ast night's election results were indeed mixed. We all knew this being an election that someone had to prevail. We just never knew how the numbers would fall.

Please take a moment and consider the amount of work all of these candidates have done, and the voters they have touched. Send a candidate a personal email or personal Facebook message, I guarantee that it will be well received.

Last night, I heard from one candidate with regards to the party infighting that this was indeed the worst year for such and the candidate feared it had the potential to hurt us in November. In my humble opinion, the biggest danger is that it potentially polarized some of our voters and may continue to do so. As such, a voter said this morning they were so unhappy with the results that they will be getting voters to switch sides and cast a vote on the otherside (R). That comment has prompted me to send this email out... Please, if anyone reading this email is considering such tactics, please consider this:

These candidates, including myself, have worked long and hard for every vote we received and we are proud and honored for every vote, all the support, encouragement, and love from our friends, families, and colleagues but to hear voter(s) wanting to switch sides and vote or even donate to a Republican candidate is a huge disservice to every minute we have been in the car driving to events, talking with voters, speaking to groups, juggling our schedules for family, work and our campaigns, and working endless hours at the polls in the sun, rain, and wind with some of the best poll workers in the state.

Do not give up just because your candidate is not still in the race we have a lot of work ahead. Please remember, there are candidates going into a runoff who do not get a break. The "Political Groundhog Day" has deemed they will have at least 6 more weeks of hard campaigning. I do not hesitate for one second when I say that the Harris County needs more Democratic Judges! and that is a fact. However, we will never get there without your support. We need it more than ever and trust me you do not know how honored we are when we receive it from you.

Finally, with one election behind us, we have two hard elections ahead of us: the runoff and the General Election in November. We have more work ahead of us but lets have fun on the way. Now, I want to put every Democratic voter out there to the task of electing as many Democratic Judges as possible. I also put every Candidate to the task of staying active and helping organizations that have given so freely of there time and support to us.

Sincerely
Nile Bailey Copeland
