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
Sandeep Srivastava’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 66 race page.

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.
- 2024-01-15 statement — Campaign platform supported the federal MORE Act, removing the federal ban on marijuana and directing expungements, counted as +2 at weight 1.2

Ballotpedia records that his campaign website carried a "Social & Criminal Justice" plank reading: "The United States has more people incarcerated than anywhere in the world, largely due to the “war on drugs,” which has wreaked havoc in communities across the country. Sandeep fully supports the MORE act, which removes the federal ban on Marijuana while also directing expungements for related convictions."
Two limits on this entry: it comes from his 2024 campaign for United states Congress in the 3rd Congressional District, not from the 2026 Texas House race he is on the ballot for; and the date is the date Ballotpedia records accessing that website, not a publication date.

Who is paying for this campaign
Campaign finance — Texas Ethics Commission
Texas Ethics Commission filer 89720, filed as
“Srivastava, Sandeep”, treasurer appointment for State Representative, District 66, dated 2025-05-12.
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.
Read this filer’s own reports at
the Texas Ethics Commission (ethics.state.tx.us) → — choose Transaction Type
“Contributions”, then Search By “Filer ID” and enter
89720. The Commission’s search posts its results, so there
is no direct link to one filer’s page; the number above is what makes it one step
instead of a hunt.
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 Sandeep Srivastava 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.
