Texas House, District 93
About this race: A Dallas-Fort Worth area district. No candidate on this ballot holds Texas legislative office, so none appears in a 2025 cannabis or hemp roll call. What each candidate has said or answered is listed below in date order, each with its own source. ⚠️A candidate in this race has stopped campaigning, and her name is still printed on both ballots. Ericka Lomick, the Democratic nominee, announced in September 2026 that she had suspended her campaign. The Tarrant County Democratic Party, the party that nominated her, said in a statement dated 22 September 2026: "Ms. Lomick informed party officials, and subsequently the public, that she had suspended her campaign." Her name is printed anyway, because the announcement came after the deadline that could have removed it: the Secretary of State’s election law calendar for this election gives Friday, 21 August 2026 — the 74th day before election day — as the "Last day on which death, declaration of ineligibility, or withdrawal of a party nominee or an independent candidate for the November General Election for state and county officers causes an omission of the candidate’s name from the ballot". Tarrant County Elections Administration has said she will remain on the ballot. The answers shown on her card below were given in February 2026, before that announcement. ⚠️You will see these two names twice on this ballot. The seat is vacant because Nate Schatzline resigned, so the Governor ordered a separate special election, also on November 3, to choose someone to serve out the unexpired term — from November until the new term begins in January 2027. The same two names are printed in both contests, and their records are the ones shown here. For the special election each county draws the order the names are printed in by lot rather than listing them by party, so we do not state an order for it.

support for legal access — top band, 67 to 100

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.
- 2026-02-16 questionnaire — Answered for clear regulation rather than rushed bans, counted as +2 at weight 2

Questionnaire2026-02-03
Answered the Dallas Morning News candidate questionnaire in its 2026 voter guide. The paper asked every candidate in the race: "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 given was: "It signals a shift in federal thinking and could expand medical research and access, but it does not automatically change Texas law in my opinion.
Any real impact on THC regulation in Texas would still depend on action by the Texas Legislature and state regulators."
This answer is shown but not scored: the question asks what the candidate expects to happen, and this reply describes an expectation without stating a position of their own on lawful access.
WeedVoter’s note — shown here, but deliberately left out of the score: An account of what federal rescheduling signals and what it does not change in Texas law, stating no position of her own.

Questionnaire2026-02-16
Answered the Fort Worth Report candidate questionnaire question "What is your stance on banning or regulating THC products?", published 2026-02-16: "I believe THC products should be handled with clear, responsible regulation that prioritizes safety, honesty in labeling, and youth protection, rather than rushed bans that create confusion and harm consumers."

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. Ericka Lomick 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.

“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 Ericka Lomick 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.
