Shehla Faizi Green

Comptroller of Public Accounts

About this race: The Comptroller collects taxes. Its Democratic nominee sits in the Texas Senate and has filed cannabis regulation, decriminalisation and constitutional-amendment bills across four legislatures, and voted against the hemp-THC ban. Eleven documented acts in a race nobody would think to check.

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 Shehla Faizi, and the limits on it

Checked on 2026-09-18: her Community Impact comptroller questionnaire, the Green Party of Texas 2026 nominee page and her campaign site, none of which carries a cannabis, marijuana, THC or hemp statement. She holds no Texas legislative office, so there is no roll call or bill authorship to search. The Green Party platform addresses cannabis, but a party document is not an act by this candidate.

Also checked, and read in full on 2026-09-18: this candidate's Ballotpedia profile at ballotpedia.org/Shehla_Faizi, including any Candidate Connection survey answers published there, which contains no mention of cannabis, marijuana, hemp, THC or CBD.

Re-read independently on 2026-09-20: her campaign issues page, her biography page, her media page, and the Community Impact question-and-answer with the comptroller candidates. None of these contains the word cannabis, marijuana, marihuana, hemp, THC or CBD.

Their Ballotpedia profile was read in full on 2026-09-20 at ballotpedia.org/Shehla_Faizi (23186 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.

⚠️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.

Re-read on 2026-10-17: her campaign site faizifortexas.com, all 6 pages its home page and sitemap reach (home, About Shehla, Issues, Media and Contact), every page HTTP 200, each fetched only after its robots.txt allowed that exact path, and scanned on word boundaries in both its visible text and its page source for cannabis, cannabinoid, marijuana, marihuana, hemp, THC, CBD, delta-8, delta-9, Compassionate Use or decriminalisation.

None of those words appears, and the site carries no post dated 2026-09-01 or later.

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.

Who is paying for this campaign

Campaign finance — Texas Ethics Commission

Texas Ethics Commission filer 90378, filed as “Faizi, Shehla N.”, treasurer appointment for Comptroller, dated 2025-11-25. The name on the filing is not word-for-word the name on the ballot — both are printed above so you can check the pairing yourself before you rely on it.

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 90378. 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 Shehla Faizi 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.
