What was checked for Ronald Dwayne Whitfield, and the limits on it
Checked on 2026-09-18: their Ballotpedia entry, which then recorded that they had not completed its Candidate Connection survey, and still recorded that when we re-read it on 2026-10-15; the Houston Chronicle's District 18 candidate roundup; and wire coverage of the nomination.
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.
⚠️No campaign site is recorded for This candidate, and we previously got This wrong. This card used to say that the candidate’s own campaign site had been read at texpolls.com. It is not his site: texpolls.com is an independent Texas elections tracker, titled "2026 Texas Elections: Senate, Governor, House Races & Polls", and the only place it mentions him is a row in a table of race matchups. We checked it again on 2026-10-02 and confirmed that.
Everything that sweep reported about "his site" has been withdrawn, because it was never about him. We have found no campaign site for this candidate.
Also checked, and read in full on 2026-10-05: this candidate’s Ballotpedia profile at ballotpedia.org/Ronald_Whitfield, 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 Ronald Dwayne Whitfield (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.
