83/100 support for legal access — top band, 67 to 100 strong — six or more records produced this number · 10 of 15 records scored
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.

    WeedVoter’s note — shown here, but not counted in the score: This site does not score procedural motions, such as suspending a rule, postponing, recommitting or reconsidering, because such a motion decides how a bill is handled rather than what it does, and its scoring rules read this record as one.

    WeedVoter’s note — shown here, but deliberately left out of the score: A study of impairment detection, which neither widens nor narrows who may lawfully possess cannabis.

Who is paying for this campaign

Campaign finance — Federal Election Commission

Commission candidate H8TX32098, filed as “ALLRED, COLIN”, principal committee C00929844 (ALLRED FOR TEXAS). fec.gov

Everything below covers the reporting period that ended 2026-06-30, as filed with the Commission. These figures lag the filing deadlines: money raised after that date does not appear until the next report is due, so a recent contribution is not missing, it is not yet reportable.

What we could and could not put a label on

Fraction classified: 0.09%. We examined $5,666,013 — the 95 largest employer groupings ($514,450) and 14 committee contributions ($5,151,563) the Commission shows for this committee — and matched $5,000 of it to one of our own patterns. $5,661,013 is listed above as unclassified.

What that figure is not. $5,666,013 is what we examined, not everything this campaign raised: the Commission returns the largest employer groupings rather than every contribution, and contributions too small to be itemised carry no employer at all. Read the classified fraction as a share of what we looked at.

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 Colin Allred 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.
