Frederick D. Haynes III Democrat

US House, District 30

About this race: A US House seat on the 120th Congress map, covering part of south Dallas County and part of south-east Tarrant County. No cannabis or hemp record was found for any candidate on this ballot, in Congress or in the Texas Legislature. Each was checked against the sources listed on their pages.

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 30 on the 119th Congress map, which stands until the end of 2026; the rest came from district 6 (5.8%), district 25 (4.0%), district 33 (3.1%) and district 32 (0.9%). Your own district may have changed number without your address changing. Check your own address in the district finder.

What was checked for Frederick D. Haynes III, and the limits on it

Checked on 2026-09-18: their campaign issues page, read in full: it carries nineteen headings and none concerns drugs.

Also an endorsing organisation's profile, public radio launch coverage, their Ballotpedia entry, and a specific search of their name against the Dallas local decriminalisation proposition.

Also checked: the Spectrum News report of 2026-03-03 on Texas candidates and THC policy, the only outlet that put the question directly to 2026 congressional candidates, which does not quote them; and NORML’s Texas guide, which covers sitting members of Congress only. We also checked the full membership roll of the 89th Texas Legislature: this candidate is not a member, so there is no state roll call to attribute.

⚠️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.

Also checked, and read in full on 2026-10-05: this candidate’s Ballotpedia profile at ballotpedia.org/Frederick_Haynes, which contains no mention of cannabis, marijuana, marihuana, hemp, THC, CBD, delta-8 or Compassionate Use.

Also checked, and read in full on 2026-10-06: this candidate’s own campaign site at www.haynesforcongress.com — 30 pages, reached from the home page’s own links and from the site’s sitemap.xml, each fetched only after its host’s robots.txt had been checked and found to permit it, 73,805 characters of text in all. The site identifies itself as the campaign of Frederick Douglass Haynes III for Congress and names District 30.

The extracted text of those pages contains no occurrence, on a word boundary, of cannabis, marijuana, marihuana, hemp, THC, CBD, Compassionate Use, delta-8, delta-9, dispensary, decriminalize, cannabinoid or psilocybin.

This card has been corrected. What earlier versions of it said, and what was wrong with them, 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.

No cannabis, marijuana, marihuana, hemp, THC, CBD, delta-8, cannabinoid, rescheduling, Schedule iii, safer Banking or decriminalisation term on a word boundary in the text or the raw page source of any page read. The same crawler, run the same day from each homepage, found the published cannabis planks on three campaign sites used as controls.

Who is paying for this campaign

Campaign finance — Federal Election Commission

Commission candidate H6TX30245, filed as “HAYNES, FREDERICK III”, principal committee C00931667 (HAYNES FOR CONGRESS). 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 $457,858 — the 96 largest employer groupings ($193,203) and 14 committee contributions ($264,655) the Commission shows for this committee — and matched $0 of it to one of our own patterns. $457,858 is listed above as unclassified.

What that figure is not. $457,858 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 Frederick D. Haynes III 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.
