How this score is worked out

Seven kinds of act move this number, and they do not count equally. A recorded vote counts 3, and so does authoring a bill or signing an executive action; signing on to somebody else’s bill counts 2. A statement or a questionnaire answer counts 2 as well, and an organisational endorsement counts 1. A vote takes its direction from the bill, whose effect is set out in advance; the rest take it from our reading of what was said, and each one below shows that reading and the reason for it. Acts shown with no number were examined and deliberately left out of the arithmetic, with a reason given.

  • 2026-09-08 questionnaire — Answered "Support" on maintaining a legal, regulated hemp marketplace and "Yes" that regulation is preferable to prohibition, and wrote that with safeguards and oversight hemp could be a significant source of economic growth for Texas. The direction is clear, though she wrote that she is not familiar enough with the subject to say what forms or safeguards should apply, counted as +2 at weight 2

Average on the −2 to +2 scale: 2. Full method and the bill table.

  • Questionnaire2026-02-03

    Answered The Dallas Morning News's 2026 voter-guide questionnaire, which asked every Texas House and Texas Senate candidate in its guide, "How do you think the president's executive order to reclassify marijuana as a Schedule III drug will affect THC regulation in Texas?" The answer, in full: "I think the president's executive order to reclassify marijuana as a Schedule III drug will loosen the THC regulation in Texas.

    It could bring in much needed tax revenue into the Texas." The answer predicts what the federal change would do without saying what Texas should do, so this record carries no direction and does not count toward the score. The News published the guide on 2026-02-03; the live page is no longer readable by automated tools, so the answer is cited to the Internet Archive's copy of the guide's own data file.

    WeedVoter’s note — shown here, but deliberately left out of the score: Predicted that the federal reclassification would loosen Texas regulation and could raise tax revenue, without saying what Texas should do, so the answer carries no direction.

  • Questionnaire2026-09-08

    Said hemp "could become a significant source of economic growth and revenue for the State of Texas" under a consistent regulatory approach, in the Texas Hemp Business Council’s 2026 candidate questionnaire. The council is a hemp industry trade association; it put twenty questions to 223 candidates for the Texas Legislature and statewide office and publishes the answers it receives in full, without editing. These are the candidate’s own words, submitted by the candidate.

    Asked about the future of hemp in Texas, the answer was, in full: "My position on the future of hemp in Texas is that we should first look to other states that have successfully implemented hemp programs and use their experiences as a model. Texas should adopt a thoughtful, consistent regulatory approach that treats hemp fairly and responsibly within the existing framework for controlled substances. With the proper safeguards, oversight, and legislation in place, I believe hemp could become a significant source of economic growth and revenue for the State of Texas.

    By learning from successful programs in other states and establishing clear regulations that prioritize public safety, accountability, and responsible industry development, Texas can create a balanced approach that protects its communities while taking advantage of the economic opportunities hemp can provide." Asked who should be permitted to sell THC, to whom, at what dose, in what form and subject to what safeguards: "Regulated businesses, to people over 21, I am not familiar enough with the form or what safeguards should be in place.

    The benefit must outweigh the risks to the state and its residents." On the questionnaire’s fixed-choice questions: on maintaining a legal, regulated hemp marketplace, "Support"; on whether regulation is preferable to prohibition where a product can be made and sold safely, "Yes"; on hemp agriculture, "Support"; on retail regulation, "Reasonable statewide licensing/registration"; on tax policy, "Depends on the proposed tax"; on consumer choice, "Depends on the product or dosage".

    The date is the date the council recorded the submission, in Central time.

Who is paying for this campaign

Campaign finance — Texas Ethics Commission

We could not match a Commission filer number to this name. The Commission’s list of candidates who have appointed a campaign treasurer carried no single row matching both the surname and the given name on the ballot for this seat, so none was guessed at. Angie Carraway may have filed under a different form of their name.

Why there are no figures and no industry breakdown here. Texas does not require a candidate to report a contributor’s employer or occupation — the Commission’s own 2026 guide asks for the amount, the contributor’s name and address, and the date, and that is all. So there is nothing in these filings to group into industries, and we have built no such grouping rather than imply one. Separately, the Commission’s bulk filing archive tells automated readers to stay out of it, and we honour that, so we have read no individual Texas contribution record. Treat the itemised question as unchecked by us, not as checked and found empty.

Search campaign filings at the Texas Ethics Commission (ethics.state.tx.us) → — choose Transaction Type “Contributions” and search by name.

Any grouping of contributors into an industry is weedvoter’s own classification, applied to employer and committee names exactly as filed. The Commission publishes employers and committees; it never publishes industries. OpenSecrets discontinued its public interface in April 2025, so nothing here is an OpenSecrets classification.

Money received is not a position. Everything on this card is money that changed hands. It is not evidence that any contribution influenced any decision, nothing on it is placed beside a roll call, and we make no claim about anyone’s motive. For what Angie Carraway has actually done about cannabis, read the record above on this page — the roll calls, the bills that carry their name, and the date of each one, every entry linked to the document it came from. That is the part of this page built to be judged, and it is the part the score is calculated from. No contribution on this card moves that score by a cent.
