What was checked for Leticia Gutierrez, and the limits on it
Checked on 2026-09-18: their Ballotpedia entry and coverage of the race. Their campaign site was not retrievable on that date: it rendered in a browser but returned no usable text to our tooling.
That sentence no longer describes the site, and this card no longer rests on it — see the full re-read of 2026-10-06 at the end of this note.
Also checked: their Ballotpedia entry, which was not retrievable by our tooling and has no Internet Archive capture; 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.
Also checked, and read in full on 2026-09-18: this candidate's Ballotpedia profile at ballotpedia.org/Leticia_Gutierrez, including any Candidate Connection survey answers published there, which contains no mention of cannabis, marijuana, hemp, THC or CBD.
The candidate's own campaign site was read on 2026-09-20 at www.leticiaforcongress.com — found by search and confirmed to name this candidate before it was attributed to them. 5 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.
Their Ballotpedia profile was read in full on 2026-09-20 at ballotpedia.org/Leticia_Gutierrez (18492 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.
The site's own sitemap was read on 2026-09-21, which reaches pages nothing links to. Their campaign site publishes a sitemap listing 15 page(s), of which 6 were read on that date and all 15 on 2026-10-06 — 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.
The host stopped refusing automated readers and the site was read again in full on 2026-10-06, at www.leticiaforcongress.com.
Re-read in full on 2026-10-06, after this host stopped refusing automated readers. Until 2026-09-20 its robots.txt named ClaudeBot, Claude-User and Claude-SearchBot and told each of them "Disallow: /"; it now publishes only "User-agent: *" with an empty "Disallow:", which permits everything, so the site was gated afresh and then read. All 15 pages in the site's own sitemap were read — the September sweep had reached 6 of them — together with the site's own full-text export at /llms-full.txt, 20,026 characters covering the home, about, priorities, news, endorsements and events pages.
Identity confirmed on the site itself before anything was attributed: its own page description (www.leticiaforcongress.com/about) names Leticia Gutierrez as the Democratic candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in Texas, District 9. Searched on word boundaries for cannabis, marijuana, marihuana, hemp, THC, CBD, Compassionate Use, delta-8, dispensary, decriminaliz and cannabinoid, over extracted text rather than markup so that asset filenames cannot produce a false hit.
Not one of the eleven terms occurs anywhere on the site. This is a page we read and found silent on cannabis, not a page we could not read.
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.
