Espoir Ngabo Green

US House, District 7

About this race: A US House seat on the 120th Congress map, covering part of south-west Harris County and part of north-east Fort Bend County. The records on the race page are votes and cosponsorships in Congress, listed in date order, each with its own source.

Whose record this page shows. The paragraph above is about the race, not about this candidate in particular. Everything after this line on this page is Espoir Ngabo’s own record and nothing else — including, where it says so, the finding that no record was located. No cannabis record is listed on this page for Espoir Ngabo, so where the paragraph above points at records, it is pointed at the race page and not at this one. Every record the paragraph above describes is set out candidate by candidate on the US House, District 7 race page.

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 — 79% of it was inside district 7 on the 119th Congress map, which stands until the end of 2026; the rest came from district 9 (8.2%), district 18 (8.2%), district 38 (2.7%) and district 29 (1.4%). So where a candidate below is badged as holding seat 7 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. Check your own address in the district finder.

What was checked for Espoir Ngabo, and the limits on it

Checked on 2026-09-18: his campaign site including its full three-part platform page, read in full both live and in an Internet Archive capture of 2026-03-21, which contains no cannabis, hemp or THC text; his Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey, read in full, whose answers cover housing, healthcare, wages, flood mitigation, transit and campaign finance and mention no drug policy; the Green Party of Texas nominee pages; the Spectrum News report of 2026-03-03 on Texas candidates and THC policy, which does not name him; and Houston Public Media’s own District 7 archive, which carries no item about him.

Not retrievable, so not claimed as silence: one candidate-directory profile, which refused our requests, and the League of Women Voters questionnaire, which is served through an interactive lookup we could not read. Note separately that the Green Party platform addresses cannabis; that is a party document and not an act by this candidate, and his own site’s platform section does not mention it.

Also checked, and read in full on 2026-09-18: this candidate's Ballotpedia profile at ballotpedia.org/Espoir_Ngabo, including any Candidate Connection survey answers published there, which contains no mention of cannabis, marijuana, hemp, THC or CBD.

Their Ballotpedia profile was read in full on 2026-09-20 at ballotpedia.org/Espoir_Ngabo (17447 characters). It contains no occurrence of cannabis, marijuana, marihuana, hemp, THC, CBD, delta-8 or Compassionate Use. They completed a Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey — free-text answers they wrote themselves — and it raises no cannabis subject.

⚠️This card does not tell you whether this candidate held a seat in an earlier Legislature, but the question is now narrower. Read on 2026-10-15, from each chamber’s own journal: the roll of members-elect that the Texas House Journal prints, district by district, on the first day of every regular session from the 75th Legislature (1997) through the 89th (2025), and every senator the Texas Senate Journal names with a district on the first day of every regular session from the 76th (1999) through the 89th.

For the 89th those are journals.house.texas.gov/hjrnl/89r/pdf/89RDAY01FINAL.PDF and journals.senate.texas.gov/SJRNL/89R/HTML/89RSJ01-14-F.HTM and every journal read is listed on this site’s corrections page. No one by this candidate’s name appears in any of them. That is narrower than a negative answer. Those rolls name the members seated as each session opened, and in most years the Senate’s names the senators who were not up for election by surname alone, so a member who sat only in earlier sessions, who arrived at a special election and was never named in full on a later first day, or who served under another name would not be found this way.

If this candidate is one of those, there may be a cannabis voting record this site is missing.

This card has been corrected. What an earlier version of it said, and what was wrong with it, is published in the corrections log.

No score: this candidate has no recorded vote or bill authorship on a cannabis measure. Silence is not a position, so nothing is inferred from it.

Who is paying for this campaign

Campaign finance — Federal Election Commission

Commission candidate H6TX07177, filed as “NGABO, ESPOIR”, principal committee C00936005 (CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE FOR ESPOIR NGABO). 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%. We examined $2,371 — the 2 largest employer groupings ($1,371) and 1 committee contributions ($1,000) the Commission shows for this committee — and matched $0 of it to one of our own patterns. $2,371 is listed above as unclassified.

What that figure is not. $2,371 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 Espoir Ngabo 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.
