Michelle Williams Democrat

Texas House, District 127

About this race: North-east Harris County. The incumbent was one of 55 members who jointly offered the SB 3 floor substitute, and voted for both the medical expansion and the hemp-THC ban.

Whose record this page shows. The paragraph above is about the race, and part of it describes a different person. Everything after this line on this page is Michelle Williams’s own record and nothing else — including, where it says so, the finding that no record was located. Every record the paragraph above describes is set out candidate by candidate on the Texas House, District 127 race page.

No source of this candidate’s own is on this card. Everything below was published by someone else. So the absence of a cannabis position here is weaker evidence than it looks: it may mean only that this candidate has not published a platform anywhere we have found, or has published one somewhere we are not permitted to read.

No record compiled yet. Nothing on cannabis — no vote, bill, statement or endorsement — was found in any source we could read. One limit on that search is recorded with it.

What was checked for Michelle Williams, and the limits on it

Checked on 2026-09-18: the member-level rolls of every 2025 cannabis and hemp record vote in the official Texas House and Senate Journals — SB 3 and HB 46 in the regular session, SB 5 in the first called session and SB 6 in the second — including every Yea, Nay, present-not-voting, absent and statement-of-vote list, where this name does not appear because they hold no Texas legislative office; the author, joint-author, coauthor and sponsor tables of every cannabis, hemp, THC and Compassionate Use bill filed in the 87th, 88th and 89th Legislatures and the 2025 called sessions, at the Legislature's own bill-lookup service; and a press sweep including the Spectrum News report on the March 2026 Austin candidate forum on THC policy, which quotes six candidates by name and does not include them.

It contains no occurrence of cannabis, marijuana, marihuana, hemp, THC, CBD, delta-8 or Compassionate Use. When we re-read their Ballotpedia profile on 2026-10-15, it recorded that they had not completed Ballotpedia’s 2026 Candidate Connection survey.

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

Also searched on 2026-10-06: a campaign site of this candidate’s own was located at michelleforstaterep.com, and its page title names them and the office or district.

We did not read it. The host answered HTTP 403 to a request for its robots.txt, twice on the same day, and this project’s sweeps treat anything other than a readable robots.txt, or a plain 404 saying none exists, as a refusal. Nothing is therefore reported about what that site does or does not say: the absence of a cannabis position on this card is an absence of evidence we were allowed to gather, and not a finding.

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.

  • communityimpact.com/lake-houston-humble-kingwood/election/qa-get-to-know-the-candidates-running-for-texas-house-district-127-143266 — sections on the page: Read 2026-10-15, HTTP 200. Community Impact's candidate Q&A for the November 2026 general election in Texas House District 127, published 2026-08-31. This candidate's answers are printed. The 5 questions put to every candidate were: “Why are you running for this position?”; “What will you do to bring down the cost of living for Texas residents?”; “How will you ensure Texans have enough water as the state continues to grow?”; “How will you balance the development of data centers and other large projects with constituent concerns about rapid growth?”; “What projects are most important for the legislature to focus on for the future of Texas?”. None of the questions, and none of the answers printed on the page, contains cannabis, marijuana, marihuana, hemp, THC, CBD, delta-8 or Compassionate Use.
  • onyourballot.vote411.org/race-detail.do?id=71558345 — sections on the page: The League of Women Voters’ VOTE411 voter guide page for this seat, read in full by us on 2026-10-17 (HTTP 200). It lists 2 candidates, the same field as the November 2026 ballot, this candidate among them as Michelle Williams (Dem). The page prints no election date and no date for any answer. The questions were: What are the two most pressing issues unique to your district, and what specific, measurable actions would you take to address them during your term? / Texas has the highest uninsured rate in the nation. What steps would you take as a state representative to ensure access to affordable healthcare, including mental health services, for residents who are currently uninsured or underserved in your district? / What training, experience, and characteristics qualify you for this position? / What measures would you support to ensure adequate state funding for public schools and accountability for taxpayer funds used in voucher or education savings account programs? Not one asks about cannabis, hemp or drug policy. The candidate answered 4 of 4 questions in free text of their own, and no answer under their name contains, on a word boundary, cannabis, marijuana, marihuana, hemp, hemp-derived, THC, thc-a, CBD, delta-8, delta-9, cannabinoid, dispensary, decriminalisation, psilocybin, Compassionate Use, SB 3, Senate Bill 3 or HB 46.

Could not be read, so nothing is concluded from them:

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. Michelle Williams 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.

Search campaign filings at the Texas Ethics Commission (ethics.state.tx.us) → — choose Transaction Type “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 Michelle Williams 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.
