US House, District 34
About this race: A US House seat on the 120th Congress map, covering all of Cameron, Kenedy, Kleberg and Willacy counties and most of Nueces County. The records below are votes and cosponsorships in Congress, listed in date order, each with its own source.
Which map this is. This seat is drawn on the
120th Congress map, the one on the 3 November ballot. Measured by area — not by
population — 86% of it was inside district 34 on the
119th Congress map, which stands until the end of 2026; the rest came from district 27 (14%). So where a candidate below is badged as holding seat 34 today, that badge means the
seat number on this ballot — not all of the ground the seat now covers. Your own
district may have changed number without your address changing.

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.

Questionnaire2026-10-07
Answered an inquiry from The Marijuana Herald for its survey of candidates in all 435 U.S. House races, published 2026-10-07. The publication reports that he confirmed support for legalizing and regulating marijuana for adult use, including taxation to generate public revenue; that he supports releasing nonviolent individuals incarcerated for marijuana-related offences, expunging past marijuana convictions and redirecting funding from drug enforcement toward public health and community support; and that he advocates expanding the industrial hemp industry, including its use in construction materials, plastics alternatives and food products.
⚠️The source does not date the response. The article is a survey of candidates in all 435 U.S. House races, carries the standing note that it is updated as more responses are received, and gives no date for any individual reply. The date recorded here is the article’s own publication date, taken from its datePublished metadata (2026-10-07T13:16:45+00:00) — the first date on which the response is on the public record, not the date it was given.
⚠️The source publishes no verbatim quotation from him. Every clause above is the publication’s account of his answer, which is why none of it is shown here in quotation marks.

Who is paying for this campaign
Campaign finance — Federal Election Commission
Commission candidate H6TX34106, filed as
“ESPINOZA, EDDIE”, principal committee C00919688
(ESPINOZA FOR TEXAS).

No amount is printed here, deliberately. The Commission returned no 2026 totals record for this candidate.
A dollar figure with no reporting period attached reads as current and would not be, so it is withheld rather than shown undated.
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 Eddie Espinoza 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.
