How this score is worked out
Seven kinds of act move this number, and they do not count equally. A recorded vote
counts 3, and so does authoring a bill or signing an executive action; signing on to
somebody else’s bill counts 2. A statement or a questionnaire answer counts 2 as
well, and an organisational endorsement counts 1. A vote takes its direction from the
bill, whose effect is set out in advance; the rest take it from our reading of what was
said, and each one below shows that reading and the reason for it. Acts shown with no
number were examined and deliberately left out of the arithmetic, with a reason given.
- 2026-10-06 questionnaire — Proposed funding primary healthcare out of tax revenue from the sale of THC products, which treats a legal and taxed THC market as something to build on rather than to end. ⚠️HE DID NOT SAY THE WORDS LEGALISE, CANNABIS OR HEMP, and did not mention the 2025 ban, so this is a reading of what his proposal assumes rather than a statement of position he made in those terms, counted as +1 at weight 2

Questionnaire2026-10-06
Answered the League of Women Voters' VOTE411 questionnaire for Texas House District 25. Asked "Healthcare: What specific steps would you take to make healthcare more affordable for Texans?", he began: "Create an income source using the tax revenue from the sale of THC products and use it to offset the rising cost of basic primary healthcare." He went on to propose legalised casino gambling as a second such revenue source, and said "These programs would lower health care cost without increasing taxes on our citizens."
He did not name SB 3, the 2025 ban on hemp-derived THC products, and did not use the words cannabis, marijuana or hemp anywhere in his answers.
⚠️The guide publishes no date for these answers and the Internet Archive holds no capture of the page containing them, so the date above is the date we read it, not the date he wrote it.

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. Mike Meadors 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.

“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 Mike Meadors 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.
