Stefanie Bord Democrat

Texas House, District 126

About this race: Harris County. Neither candidate on this ballot holds Texas legislative office, so neither appears in any 2025 cannabis or hemp roll call. Both were checked against the same sources and neither has a documented act.

100/100 support for legal access — top band, 67 to 100 thin — one or two records produced this number · 1 of 1 records scored
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.

Average on the −2 to +2 scale: 2. Full method and the bill table.

    Said a regulated Texas hemp market could be a competitive industry under basic safety and labelling rules, in the Texas Hemp Business Council’s 2026 candidate questionnaire. The council is a hemp industry trade association; it put twenty questions to 223 candidates for the Texas Legislature and statewide office and publishes the answers it receives in full, without editing. These are the candidate’s own words, submitted by the candidate.

    Asked about the future of hemp in Texas, the answer was, in full: "I think that Texas' hemp industry could be a competitive, regulated market that supports people all over the state, whether they own a small business, farm, or are using hemp products. With some basic legislation to make sure products are safe and sold to adults with proper labeling and dosages supported by scientific data, it can be a booming business in Texas that is law-abiding and safe for consumers."

    Asked who should be permitted to sell THC, to whom and with what safeguards: "Small businesses who are able to get the permits by following all of the rules and standards set out by the Texas legislature should be able to sell THC products to adults in the appropriate doses in the forms specified by legislation with appropriate labeling, packaging, dosages, and occasional testing for accuracy on the labels. There should be penalties for businesses, like with cigarettes and alcohol, for selling to minors or not having appropriate labels, etc." On the questionnaire’s fixed-choice questions: on maintaining a legal, regulated hemp marketplace, "Strongly Support"; on whether regulation is preferable to prohibition where a product can be made and sold safely, "Yes"; on retail regulation, "Reasonable statewide licensing/registration".

    The date is the date the council recorded the submission, in Central time.

Who is paying for this campaign

Campaign finance — Texas Ethics Commission

Texas Ethics Commission filer 89977, filed as “Bord, Stefanie”, treasurer appointment for State Representative, District 126, dated 2025-08-26.

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 89977. 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 Stefanie Bord 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.
