Don Large (born May 30, 1975) is a perennial candidate for public office in Harris County, Texas. He announced in 2012 that he would run for the Democratic nomination for the Harris County administrative County Judge position in the primary election held on March 4, 2014. However, he never filed for the race.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ethics.cclerk.hctx.net/CFR.aspx )〕 == Personal life and career == Large is a native of Houston and is a 1993 graduate of MacArthur High School, where he was recognized as the class valedictorian. He is a 1997 graduate of the University of Houston and holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology. Following his undergraduate studies, Large continued at the University of Houston to obtain a law degree, graduating in 2000. He was licensed to practice law in the State of Texas on November 1, 2000 and entered the legal field as an associate at Woska & Hayes, LLP in Kingwood, Texas in the area of securities arbitration. He was further admitted to practice in US District Court for the Southern District of Texas. On January 19, 2006 Large voluntarily resigned his law license to avoid facing disciplinary action for spending the retainer of a client without having performed sufficient legal work. He had filed for bankruptcy, and was unable to repay the retainer to the client. As of 2012, he has not sought reinstatement of his law license.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.supreme.courts.state.tx.us/miscdocket/05/05922900.pdf )〕 Large has been very open with public audiences regarding an ongoing string of personal tragedy in his life, beginning with the death of his mother, Lynn Large on November 24, 2003 and also includes his bankruptcy and loss of several jobs. In November 2011 he suffered a stroke and was hospitalized in a coma for 27 days, which he freely cites as a personal example of the need for healthcare refurm.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-812957 )〕 On January 11, 2012 a lien was filed against Large by Memorial Hermann Northeast Medical Center for unpaid medical bills.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cclerk.hctx.net/applications/websearch/MPR.aspx )〕 He was sued by principals of Woska & Hayes, LLP in January 2004 for allegedly stalking, harassing and assaulting employees following his termination on December 16, 2003. The judge in the case granted a restraining order against Large at the time the suit was filed, due to his repeated visits and phone calls to the firm and demands that the plaintiffs come to his home to speak to the cremated remains of his deceased mother. On at least one occasion he took his mother’s remains to the firm with him. He was also reported to have made threats of unspecified action against the firm’s principals, which caused employees of the firm to fear for their personal safety. The judge in the case granted a permanent injunction ordering him to stay away from the plaintiffs. In May 2012 Large became engaged to his partner Rafael Espinosa. He founded a self-named political consulting firm on June 11, 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cclerk.hctx.net/applications/websearch/AN.aspx )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Donald Jeffrey Large」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
