Jessica Hart Steinmann Republican

US House, District 8

About this race: A US House seat on the 120th Congress map, covering all of Waller County, most of Montgomery County, part of south-east Walker County and part of west Harris 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 — 61% of it was inside district 8 on the 119th Congress map, which stands until the end of 2026; the rest came from district 10 (32%), district 2 (3.3%), district 17 (1.8%) and district 7 (1.3%). Your own district may have changed number without your address changing. Check your own address in the district finder.

What was checked for Jessica Hart Steinmann, and the limits on it

Checked on 2026-09-18: their campaign site including its issues and memo pages and its sitemap, read in full.

Also checked: their Ballotpedia entry, recorded here on 2026-09-18 as unretrievable and since read in full (see below); the Fort Worth Report 2026 questionnaire series, which asked candidates directly about THC products but covered only districts 6, 12 and 24; the Spectrum News report of 2026-03-03 on Texas candidates and THC policy, which does not name them; and the full membership roll of the 89th Texas Legislature, where they do not appear.

The candidate's own campaign site was read on 2026-09-20 at www.jessicasteinmann.com — found by search and confirmed to name this candidate before it was attributed to them. 6 pages were read: the homepage, any JavaScript bundle it loads, and the pages linked from it. None contains cannabis, marijuana, marihuana, hemp, THC, CBD or Compassionate Use.

⚠️This covers the reachable site, not necessarily the whole site: a page that nothing links to cannot be found this way, and at least one Texas candidate keeps their platform on exactly such a page.

The site's own sitemap was read on 2026-09-21, which reaches pages nothing links to. Their campaign site publishes a sitemap listing 9 page(s), of which 7 were read — the sweep skips assets and archive listings rather than prose — and none of those pages contains cannabis, marijuana, marihuana, hemp, THC, CBD or Compassionate Use.

⚠️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/Jessica_Steinmann, which contains no mention of cannabis, marijuana, marihuana, hemp, THC, CBD, delta-8 or Compassionate Use.

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.

It lists 2 candidates, the same field as the November 2026 ballot, this candidate among them as Jessica Hart Steinmann (Rep). The page prints no election date and no date for any answer. The questions were: What is your approach to federal infrastructure investment, and how would you prioritize funding for energy, transportation, flood mitigation, and resilience needs in your district? / If elected to office, what will you do to address rising costs, especially with regard to groceries, childcare, and housing? / What is your position on federal immigration enforcement and detention policies? What specific changes, if any, would you support to how those policies are implemented? / What changes, if any, to current laws related to voter registration, voter ID, and mail-in ballots would you support and why? Not one asks about cannabis, hemp or drug policy. ⚠️The Candidate has not answered: the guide shows every question under their name as “Candidate has not yet responded.” This records an unanswered questionnaire, not a silence of their own choosing.

Who is paying for this campaign

Campaign finance — Federal Election Commission

Commission candidate H6TX08209, filed as “STEINMANN, JESSICA HART”, principal committee C00919530 (JESSICA STEINMANN 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 $2,035,176 — the 94 largest employer groupings ($430,174) and 52 committee contributions ($1,605,002) the Commission shows for this committee — and matched $0 of it to one of our own patterns. $2,035,176 is listed above as unclassified.

What that figure is not. $2,035,176 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 Jessica Hart Steinmann 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.
