U.S. House — Texas

Back to Texas

Election: November 3, 2026. Checked October 8, 2026. Texas has 38 congressional districts. This report presently researches districts 1–28, sixty-one candidates. Districts 29–38 remain pending. A verified statewide candidate inventory is preparation, not completed research on those races. Use your county's current sample ballot to determine your own district; a past district map or incumbent's constituent-service map may differ from the November election map.

OFFICE POWERS AND EVIDENCE STANDARD

House members serve two-year terms, introduce and amend legislation, vote on appropriations and taxes, conduct oversight and assist constituents with federal agencies. The House originates revenue bills and brings impeachments. One member cannot enact a federal program alone, command a state school board or set local utility rates. Bills generally need both chambers and presidential action; committee work, coalition building and legal authority matter.

Official House explanation · Constitution · Official recorded votes

Eligibility in this batch is checked against the August 28 Secretary of State printed certification. The statewide certified write-in list names House write-ins in districts 27 and 33, none in 1–26 or 28; Wayne Raasch is separately researched in 27. Former primary candidates and finance registrations are kept out of the eligible list. Each candidate below receives attributed proposals where available, finance evidence or an explicit unknown, and practical questions. Mendoza’s portrait and first-person program remain unavailable. Full credentials, conflicts, voting histories and implementation results remain under review.

DISTRICT 1 — NATHANIEL MORAN AND YOLANDA R. PRINCE

Nathaniel Moran — Republican, printed ballot; incumbent. His campaign describes earlier Smith County Judge service and legal work. Its homepage promotes conservative leadership, overtime-tax relief, restrictions on dealings tied to Xinjiang and rural access to capital. These announcements describe priorities and proposed legislation, not proof that a bill became law or achieved its promised result. The government office's May 31, 2023 statement documents opposition to the Fiscal Responsibility Act and explains his spending objections; it is the officeholder's explanation, not an independent assessment of fiscal impact.

Questions: Which tax-relief measures are now enacted, and what evidence measures their benefit to workers? How would you lower deficits without shifting costs to local services? What measurable rural-capital and infrastructure outcomes would you seek? What disclosures and recusals address business, legal-client and donor interests?

Yolanda R. Prince — Democratic, printed ballot. Her campaign describes her as a Tyler native, public servant and organizer and emphasizes community representation, restoring accountability and opportunities for working households. Its currently reviewed homepage and biography offer a broad direction rather than a sufficiently detailed federal budget and office-wide policy program. This gap is not proof of no effort. Professional credentials and community-service outcomes need records beyond campaign descriptions.

Questions: Where can voters read your first three proposed bills and full platform? What documented community outcomes demonstrate your preparation? Which federal changes would improve healthcare, wages and household affordability, with what funding? How would you publish conflicts, corrections and progress against deadlines?

DISTRICT 2 — STEVE TOTH AND SHAUN FINNIE

Steve Toth — Republican, printed ballot. The Texas House biography identifies his state legislative service and small-business background. His congressional campaign prioritizes border security, energy independence, law enforcement, gun rights, national security, military and veterans' support, and limited government. Its descriptions of school legislation and border funding are claims to examine through bill text, votes and final implementation. State legislative experience does not establish that the same legal powers transfer to one member of Congress.

Congressional campaign · Campaign biography · State legislative record

Questions: Which federal bills would operationalize your priorities, and what would they cost? Which Texas measures show enacted results rather than proposals? What safeguards would immigration enforcement include for due process and lawful residents? How would energy and education policies preserve health, consumer protections and constitutional rights for everyone?

Shaun Finnie — Democratic, printed ballot. His campaign biography describes legal and investment-banking work in energy. He proposes removing tariffs, addressing debt, protecting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, reproductive decision-making, and investment in education and research. These priorities expose a concrete budget question: maintaining benefits and investments while reducing debt requires specified revenues, efficiencies or other savings. Financial-industry experience needs professional and conflict records, not an assumption of public-sector competence.

Campaign and priorities · Biography

Questions: What budget path reconciles debt reduction with protected benefits? Which tariff authorities would you repeal and which alternatives would protect affected industries? How would you manage conflicts involving former clients and investments? What bills, targets and deadlines would turn affordability priorities into measurable outcomes?

DISTRICT 3 — KEITH SELF AND EVAN HUNT

Keith Self — Republican, printed ballot; incumbent. His campaign describes military service and Collin County Judge experience. Its issues page supports border enforcement, spending and tax reductions, energy permitting, paper election records, gun rights and opposition to abortion. It also promotes a “Sharia-Free America” caucus and claims religious threats in Texas. Those are campaign positions and allegations; they are not adopted as findings about a religious community. Equal constitutional protection and religious liberty for all are part of this project's common assessment standard.

Campaign · Issues · Government records

Questions: What specific unlawful conduct would your religious-law proposals address, and how would they protect lawful worship and equal treatment? Which county fiscal outcomes substantiate campaign claims? How would you fund border proposals and check civil-rights compliance? What reliability, household-cost and environmental measures would assess energy policy?

Evan Hunt — Democratic, printed ballot. His campaign describes a retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel and combat-aviation and defense-industry career. Its platform emphasizes checks and balances, legislative control over tariffs, fair elections, congressional ethics reforms and constituent participation. It supports congressional term limits, stock-trading restrictions, a lobbying cooling-off period and responses to Citizens United. Those proposals differ in legal mechanism and constitutional requirements. His published August 7, 2025 redistricting comment independently records public participation; it does not verify every biographical or policy claim.

How would you disclose or recuse from matters involving former defense employers? Which records verify command responsibilities, qualifications and results?

DISTRICT 4 — PAT FALLON AND JASON PEARCE

Pat Fallon — Republican, printed ballot; incumbent. His official biography and campaign describe military, business, city and Texas legislative experience. His campaign's issues collection emphasizes border security, gun rights, opposition to abortion, energy production and foreign-policy concerns. Much of the reviewed collection refers to Biden-era controversies and earlier measures. Historical material is evidence of published positions, not automatically a current 2027 legislative plan or a verified success record.

Campaign · Issues · Government office and records

Questions: What are your updated priorities for the next Congress? Which enacted bills, constituent-service results and district investments establish performance? How would proposed energy and border measures be funded and independently evaluated? What business and financial disclosures allow voters to assess conflicts?

Jason Pearce — Democratic, printed ballot. His campaign describes mortgage, finance, insurance and customer-service work. Current platform headings support Medicare for All, housing access, better wages, expanded Social Security, environmental protection and reducing donor influence. Its immigration section explicitly says he is still listening; a complete settled program is not supplied by this report. Career achievement and licensing claims remain attributed until checked against professional records.

DISTRICT 5 — LANCE GOODEN AND CHELSEY HOCKETT

Lance Gooden — Republican, printed ballot; incumbent. His campaign homepage promotes conservative leadership and opposition to socialism but supplies little detailed policy text. His government issues collection separately covers border enforcement, national security and oversight, including proposals concerning Chinese espionage and federal settlement funds. Office announcements document stated positions and activity; advancement in the House does not establish enactment or successful implementation. His current voting, disclosure and oversight record requires a fuller review before assessment.

Campaign · Government issues and records · Official House membership

Questions: Which three measures would you prioritize next term, and which previous measures became law? What evidence measures oversight results and protection of civil rights? How would your tax and spending proposals affect household costs and deficits? Which disclosures, recusals and committee records address potential conflicts?

Chelsey Hockett — Democratic, printed ballot. Her campaign describes a Terrell resident, parent and community organizer from a union family. The published platform proposes Medicare for All, a $25 minimum wage indexed to living costs, universal childcare, stronger public education, voting-rights protections and immigration reform. Its claims of donor independence require itemized-finance verification. Community participation is relevant evidence, but campaign biography alone does not independently establish professional qualifications or measurable service results.

Questions: What tax and transition plan funds universal healthcare and childcare? How would wage indexing account for local costs and small employers? Which federal mechanisms support schools without replacing state responsibilities? Which service records and donor disclosures substantiate campaign claims?

DISTRICT 6 — JAKE ELLZEY AND DANNY MINTON

Jake Ellzey — Republican, printed ballot; incumbent. His campaign describes a Naval Academy graduate, retired Navy pilot and former Texas Veterans Commission member. Its issues page supports gun rights, opposition to abortion, border-wall completion, private-property protections, regulatory and tax reductions, public education and veterans. Opposition to the proposed high-speed railway is a stated position, not an independently established project-cost finding. Military qualifications and committee accomplishments need specific records; the campaign's military disclaimer says imagery and rank do not imply Defense Department endorsement.

Campaign · Biography · Issues · Government records

Questions: Which appropriations and veterans' measures produced documented district outcomes? How would tax cuts and border spending be funded? Which safety and environmental safeguards accompany deregulation? What independent cost and property-rights analysis supports transportation positions?

Danny Minton — Democratic, printed ballot. His campaign presents a personal and medical-industry work history and advocates healthcare affordability, public education, small businesses, voting rights, secure borders with compassionate immigration policy and congressional decisions before military deployments. Those headings establish priorities; they do not yet supply comparable cost estimates, delivery targets and deadlines. Federal education policy and war powers must be distinguished from local school governance and presidential operational authority.

Questions: Which healthcare law would you introduce and how would premiums and access change? What experience and outcomes verify your preparation? Which immigration enforcement and due-process standards would you fund? What specific congressional mechanism, exceptions and deadlines would govern military authorization?

DISTRICT 7 — ALEXANDER HALE, LIZZIE PANNILL FLETCHER AND ESPOIR NGABO

Alexander Hale — Republican, printed ballot. His campaign describes Baylor studies, financial-services and energy consulting, and earlier internships. Its priorities favor Houston energy businesses, market-based healthcare changes, affordability, public safety, fiscal restraint and state/local authority. Education and career details remain campaign claims pending independent records. Energy-sector experience can inform policy but also makes employer, client and financial-interest disclosures useful to voters. Broad promises to cut waste do not identify a complete budget or measurable results.

Campaign · Biography · Priorities

Questions: Which healthcare pricing rules would change, with what cost and access targets? What spending would you cut and what services would be protected? Which energy clients and investments would require disclosure or recusal? How would energy policy address household bills, pollution and storm resilience together?

Lizzie Pannill Fletcher — Democratic, printed ballot; incumbent. Her campaign describes a Houston legal career and congressional service since 2019. It emphasizes flood protection, transportation, economic opportunity and equality. Its flooding page proposes reservoir improvements, detention, updated flood maps and coastal protection, and claims credit for disaster funding and legislation. Those are attributed performance claims requiring bill dispositions, appropriations and delivery records before assigning credit or a numerical score. A project authorization is distinct from an appropriation, construction completion and independently measured flood-risk reduction.

Questions: Which flood projects are funded, built and evaluated, and which remain authorized proposals? What delivery dates and cost controls apply? How do energy, employment and environmental positions fit together? Which donor and financial disclosures allow independent conflict assessment?

Espoir Ngabo — Green, printed ballot. His campaign publishes a platform covering democratic procedures, Green Party policies and district priorities. It proposes universal single-payer healthcare, a $25 minimum wage with inflation indexing, affordable housing, flood mitigation, public transit, public election funding and ranked-choice voting. Its rejection of corporate money is a campaign claim requiring finance verification. Changes responding to Citizens United must identify a legally viable mechanism; Congress cannot simply repeal a Supreme Court constitutional holding as though it were an ordinary statute.

What measurable flood targets and deadlines would you seek? Which public-service, professional and donor records support your self-assessment?

DISTRICT 8 — JESSICA HART STEINMANN AND LAURA JONES

Jessica Hart Steinmann — Republican, printed ballot. Her campaign describes legal work, service with Senator Ted Cruz and leadership of the Justice Department's Office for Victims of Crime. An official OVC archive independently identifies Director Jessica Hart in 2020. It does not by itself verify all claimed funding totals or legal victories. Her platform favors border enforcement, energy production, parental rights, spending restraint, religious liberty, fewer AI restrictions and digital-asset innovation. Litigation participation, investigations and final court outcomes are separate facts requiring case records.

Questions: Which audited grants and results support the claimed crime-victim funding record? Which litigation reached final judgments, with what holdings? How would AI and crypto proposals protect consumers and manage energy demand? What safeguards would protect religious freedom and equal treatment for everyone?

Laura Jones — Democratic, printed ballot. Her campaign describes a lifelong Texan, parent and small-business owner. It proposes raising the minimum wage and tying it to living costs, Medicare for All, lower taxes for working households, higher taxes on billionaires and large corporations, and investment in housing, schools and infrastructure. The reviewed site gives a broad program without a complete fiscal model, implementation sequence and district targets. Employment and business claims remain attributed until corroborated; campaign funding level does not determine inclusion or competence.

Questions: What specific tax base and rates fund proposed healthcare and public investments? How would wage indexing handle regional costs? What small-business records establish experience and potential conflicts? Which first-term housing, access and affordability targets would voters use to assess delivery?

DISTRICT 9 — ALEX MEALER AND LETICIA GUTIERREZ

Alex Mealer — Republican, printed ballot. Her campaign describes military service, West Point and Harvard studies, oil-and-gas finance and small-business ownership. It proposes a congressional stock-trading ban, term limits, tax and regulatory reductions, stronger border enforcement, energy production, Ship Channel infrastructure and Lake Houston flood mitigation. Its AI section supports safety reviews for powerful systems, disclosure of impersonation and protection against nonconsensual deepfakes. These are campaign commitments; credentials, project costs and past outcomes need independent records. Congressional term limits require a constitutional mechanism rather than a simple promise by one member.

Campaign and priorities · Biography

Questions: What funding, legal authority and completion dates support flood and port projects? What financial interests and past clients would require disclosure or recusal? How would AI safeguards be enforced without shifting costs to households? Which records verify service, qualifications and business results?

Leticia Gutierrez — Democratic, printed ballot. Her campaign describes long-term local residence, finance studies, community organizing and children's-health advocacy. Its published priorities address everyday affordability, government spending and infrastructure resilience, including electricity, water and flood preparedness. The reviewed priorities page gives broad objectives without a complete federal legislative program, budgets and deadlines. Community advocacy deserves the same evidence review as professional and elected service; the absence of detailed mechanisms here is an open research gap, not proof of no work.

DISTRICT 10 — CHRIS GOBER AND CAITLIN ROURK

Chris Gober — Republican, printed ballot. His campaign describes legal and business work, Justice Department experience and leadership of America PAC in 2024. It supports border enforcement, conservative constitutional policies, rural healthcare, affordability, defense and technology investment. Its AI proposal calls for infrastructure that protects rural water supplies and electricity costs. Claimed courtroom victories and political spending are attributed descriptions pending case and committee records. Work for political organizations and clients makes disclosure, recusal and the independence of future oversight especially practical questions; it is not itself a finding of misconduct.

Questions: Which court holdings and responsibilities support your claimed results? How would you manage former-client, PAC and technology-sector conflicts? What enforceable water, ratepayer and safety safeguards accompany AI infrastructure? Which healthcare and spending measures have costs, targets and deadlines?

Caitlin Rourk — Democratic, printed ballot. Her campaign describes Army intelligence service, public-policy work, Dell communications work and University of Chicago and University of Texas studies. Published priorities include accountability, working-family costs, healthcare, public schools and childcare, AI impacts, immigration and responsible foreign policy. In the retrieved issues page, several sections appear as headings without full explanatory text. This report does not infer policy details from those headings. Her current campaign identifies District 10; older District 31 launch material and the FEC ID's district-like digits are not evidence of current ballot geography.

DISTRICT 11 — AUGUST PFLUGER AND CLAIRE REYNOLDS

August Pfluger — Republican, printed ballot; incumbent. His campaign describes Air Force and National Security Council service and promotes energy production, agricultural interests, border enforcement, tax reductions and conservative social policies. It claims numerous legislative, fiscal and border outcomes. Those assertions require bill dispositions, agency data and independent impact review; this report does not turn the campaign's broad victory list into verified achievements. Energy and ranching interests described in his biography also warrant financial-disclosure review. Religious liberty and civil rights for everyone remain common assessment standards.

Her press biography describes legal studies and work in the State Bar of Texas Office of Chief Disciplinary Counsel; independent credential and employment checks remain open. Her platform supports affordability, single-payer healthcare, immigration reform, reproductive rights and government accountability. Her campaign's October 7 debate statement is current evidence of her positions and criticisms, not an independent finding about her opponent. Public-service and legal outcomes require documented responsibilities and results before scoring.

DISTRICT 12 — CRAIG GOLDMAN AND ANGELA “HELI” RODRIGUEZ PRILLIMAN

Craig Goldman — Republican, printed ballot; incumbent. His campaign and official biography describe earlier Texas House service and current congressional service. Published positions favor border enforcement, tax reductions, gun rights, opposition to abortion, religious liberty, defense production and fewer regulations. Its issues page claims credit for H.J.Res.75 and several Texas laws. These are attributed claims; final legal texts, votes, cost estimates and actual outcomes must be checked separately. Older Biden-era sections appear alongside current congressional updates, so readers should distinguish historical positions from a detailed next-term program.

Angela “Heli” Rodriguez Prilliman — Democratic, printed ballot. Her campaign describes entrepreneurship, technology startups, salon ownership and education work. The biography proposes a $10-per-day childcare cap and healthcare independent of employment. Its issues questionnaire adds wealth-tax financing, AI whistleblower protection, liability rules, testing and transparency, and restrictions on AI companions for children. It acknowledges personal and business bankruptcy during the pandemic; that is her disclosed account, not an independently verified court finding. Older Senate campaign imagery and records do not change her certified 2026 House candidacy.

DISTRICT 13 — MARK NAIR AND RONNY JACKSON

Mark Nair — Democratic, printed ballot. His campaign describes education, invention and business experience. Its platform proposes congressional control of tariffs, Medicare for All, rural-hospital funding, affordable housing, immigration reform, water research and rural broadband. His AI proposal calls for publicly funded universal access, a nonpartisan accountability agency, privacy safeguards and disclosure when automated decisions affect employment and services. These are proposals, not enacted programs. His refusal of corporate PAC funds is a campaign claim awaiting donor review. Full education, business and public-service records remain open.

Ronny Jackson — Republican, printed ballot; incumbent. His current campaign-linked site emphasizes national security, farmers and ranchers and describes military and White House medical service. The reviewed page offers a broad direction rather than a detailed next-term legislative program with costs and deadlines. Its military-rank description requires current service-record reconciliation before being treated as a verified credential. The site is paid for by Team Ronny, a joint fundraising committee; its funds are not added to the authorized campaign summary below.

DISTRICT 14 — RANDY WEBER AND THURMAN “BILL” BARTIE

Randy Weber — Republican, printed ballot; incumbent. His campaign describes air-conditioning business ownership and earlier Texas House service. It supports gun rights, opposes abortion and socialism and presents a conservative constitutional approach. The biography claims credit for anti-trafficking legislation and describes congressional committee work. Final bill texts, votes, independent outcomes and current committee assignments require further review. The biography is useful evidence of his stated priorities; it is not a complete next-term program or independent proof of business and legislative results.

Published positions support the Affordable Care Act, fair wages, public education, storm-resistant infrastructure, mental-health services, humane immigration reform and housing affordability. It proposes reversing tariffs and increasing competition in healthcare and food markets. These are attributed policies; local service records, budgets and outcomes require independent review. A congressional candidate's education and infrastructure promises need a clear federal mechanism rather than assumed control of local operations.

DISTRICT 15 — BOBBY PULIDO AND MONICA DE LA CRUZ

Bobby Pulido — Democratic, printed ballot. His campaign describes a South Texas music career and business ownership. Its platform supports small-business regulatory relief, apprenticeships, farm trade, border enforcement against violent criminals and fentanyl, migration vetting hubs and legalization pathways. It also favors healthcare affordability, public schools, desalination, irrigation investment and enforcement of Mexico's water-treaty obligations. These are campaign proposals. Business, education and policy-delivery records remain open; campaign criticism of his opponent is not adopted as a verified finding.

Its issues page favors lower taxes, reduced spending, oil and gas, nuclear energy, agricultural trade and protection of Medicare and Social Security. The campaign and government biographies give different counts of legislative accomplishments; those counts are not used as an assessment score.

Adam Bauman — Republican, printed ballot. His campaign describes Navy Special Warfare Combatant Crewman and Border Patrol tactical service. It proposes stronger border enforcement, support for small businesses and veterans, lower insurance costs without federal subsidies and preservation of Social Security without raising the retirement age. It also advocates restrictions on transgender participation in women's sports and access to women's restrooms. Its property-tax proposal depends on cooperation with local officials: a House member cannot set El Paso's local tax rates.

It backs immigration reform through the Dignity Act, clean energy, public education, gun-safety measures and voting rights. Her site claims legislative and funding outcomes; bill status, appropriations, delivery and independent impacts must be checked separately. A proposal or introduced bill is not automatically law.

DISTRICT 17 — CASEY SHEPARD AND PETE SESSIONS

Casey Shepard — Democratic, printed ballot. His campaign describes a Central Texas legal practice focused on indigent criminal defense. Its vision proposes stronger congressional oversight, protection of an independent judiciary, SNAP and school-meal funding, healthcare workforce support, Medicaid and Medicare, affordable-housing tax incentives and rental assistance. It also favors ending tariffs that raise food and construction costs and expanding legal pathways for needed workers. These are attributed proposals; professional credentials, cases and outcomes need independent records.

His campaign supports gun rights, opposition to abortion, border-wall construction, parental involvement in education, free markets and spending reductions. It reports favorable ratings from advocacy organizations and claims participation in past balanced budgets. Those ratings reflect the organizations' criteria, not this project's report card.

Christian Dashaun Menefee — Democratic, printed ballot; incumbent. His campaign describes earlier Harris County Attorney service and legal advocacy. Published priorities include Medicare for All, affordability, public education, reproductive rights, voting rights, clean air and water, workers, immigration reform, veterans and criminal-justice reform. Its emerging-technology statement supports innovation with consumer protection and ethical rules for AI and blockchain. Claims of successful litigation, pollution cleanup and government modernization require case dispositions and measured outcomes.

No stand-alone campaign website or sufficiently detailed first-person platform was verified in this research pass. A Facebook page is linked by BallotReady, but its content was inaccessible during review, so no policies are inferred from it. The FEC identifies his authorized committee but supplies no 2025–2026 financial summary in the retrieved candidate page.

Kyle Rable — Democratic, printed ballot. His campaign describes Texas Tech doctoral studies, Army Reserve service, union membership and local party work. Its platform proposes fair-pricing rules, limits on corporate purchases of homes, first-time-buyer tax credits, childcare workforce investment, congressional tariff controls, immigration reform and family-farm loan protections. It also supports personal-data safeguards, a bipartisan commission on AI and workers, rural healthcare, social insurance and congressional war-powers limits.

Edgardo Rafael Baez — Republican, printed ballot. His campaign describes military service, critical-care nursing and legal practice. Published positions emphasize business growth, tax reform, law enforcement, gun rights, affordable housing, infrastructure and patient choice. Its Alianna Act and SAVE SA Act references are proposed initiatives; they are not treated as enacted laws. Claims about local poverty, schools, military activity and his opponent require independent data and careful attribution.

A June 16, 2026 government statement supports immigration reform and protection of Dreamers; a June 13 statement describes requests for information about alleged U.S. involvement in Ecuadorian boat strikes. These establish stated positions and oversight requests, not proof of every underlying allegation or successful legislative delivery. Older issue-page material is explicitly historical.

Questions: Where is your full next-term legislative program? What final laws and independently measured local outcomes establish performance? What responses and follow-up resulted from your oversight requests? How would healthcare, education and immigration priorities be funded and measured?

County ballot cross-check: Bexar's November 3 generic ballot lists Baez and Castro in District 20 and no additional printed candidate in this contest. An independent mentioned by an outside election website was not in this certified contest and is not added as eligible. Official county election page · Current generic ballot. The generic ballot spans multiple districts; use your precinct's ballot. Districts 17 and 19 still need county candidate-level cross-checks. No local jurisdiction is claimed fully researched.

DISTRICT 21 — KRISTIN HOOK AND MARK TEIXEIRA

Kristin Hook — Democratic, printed ballot. Her campaign proposes fairer taxation, healthcare access, abortion rights, public-school investment, voting rights, environmental protection and immigration policies combining dignity and security. The retrieved issues page supplies headings rather than a fully costed implementation program.

Mark Teixeira — Republican, printed ballot. His campaign describes a professional baseball career and charitable work and promotes America First policy, individual liberty, families and education choice. Athletic accomplishments and donations are not substitutes for a documented federal legislative program.

DISTRICT 22 — MARQUETTE GREENE-SCOTT AND TREVER NEHLS

Marquette Greene-Scott — Democratic, printed ballot. Her campaign describes Iowa Colony municipal leadership and teaching. It proposes VA service improvements, immigration processing and border resources, worker training, infrastructure, healthcare access, voting protections and reproductive rights. Some issue material discusses earlier administrations and Troy Nehls; those historical criticisms are not findings about the current Republican nominee, Trever Nehls. Professional credentials, conflicts and delivered outcomes remain independently unverified unless specifically linked.

Questions: What municipal votes and measured outcomes establish performance? What funding and deadlines support the healthcare, veteran and infrastructure proposals? Supply records, delivery mechanisms and measurable targets for each commitment.

Trever Nehls — Republican, printed ballot. His campaign describes Army Reserve service, prior Fort Bend constable service and a consulting business. It supports border-wall construction, immigration enforcement, lower taxes and regulation, parental control of education, oil, gas and nuclear production, police funding, flood mitigation and SH-99 improvements. Military references imply no military endorsement. This is Trever’s record, not his brother Troy’s congressional record. Professional credentials, conflicts and delivered outcomes remain independently unverified unless specifically linked.

DISTRICT 23 — BEN MENDOZA AND BRANDON HERRERA AND KATY PADILLA STOUT

Ben Mendoza — Independent, printed ballot. State certification includes this independent candidate. No verified current campaign website, sufficiently detailed first-person platform, sourced portrait or current District 23 finance summary was established in this pass. An older or differently districted FEC identity must be reconciled before assigning its funds here. Missing evidence remains unknown, not zero or proof of no effort.

Brandon Herrera — Republican, printed ballot. His campaign describes firearm manufacturing and online advocacy. It supports border enforcement, veterans, national gun-carry reciprocity, limits on federal power, spending restraint and regulatory reform including the REINS Act. His issues page also opposes a physical wall in Big Bend, proposes expanding veterans’ healthcare choice, protects Social Security and Medicare benefits, supports school choice and opposes federal abortion funding.

Katy Padilla Stout — Democratic, printed ballot. Her campaign describes teaching, child-welfare legal practice and appointed board service. It proposes expanded Medicare or stronger ACA access, community health centers, universal pre-K, paid parental leave, voting access, humane immigration reform, gun-safety measures and reproductive rights. It opposes a Big Bend border wall. Claims about costs, legal effects and local outcomes require independent review.

DISTRICT 24 — BETH VAN DUYNE AND KEVIN BURGE

Beth Van Duyne — Republican, printed ballot; incumbent. Her campaign site contains biography and questionnaires from the 2020 cycle, promoting conservative government, border enforcement and economic opportunity. Those historical documents are not presented as a complete 2026 platform. Her current congressional site identifies District 24 service and announces legislation; introduction is not enactment or measured delivery. Full vote, bill-disposition and constituent-service reviews remain open. Professional credentials, conflicts and delivered outcomes remain independently unverified unless specifically linked.

Questions: Where is the current next-term program? Which final laws and independently measured outcomes substantiate achievements? How are business, donor and policy conflicts disclosed? Supply records, delivery mechanisms and measurable targets for each commitment.

Kevin Burge — Democratic, printed ballot. His campaign describes Marine service and proposes affordable housing, limits on AI rent pricing, environmental standards for data centers, healthcare expansion, public education funding, fee-free community college, congressional ethics reform and humane immigration processing. The detailed healthcare platform supports universal coverage while retaining private insurance, a qualification to the homepage’s Medicare-for-All wording.

County checks: Bexar’s current November 3 generic ballot corroborates districts 21 and 23; Harris’s master ballot corroborates district 22. District 24 county corroboration remains pending. These congressional checks do not complete any county’s local-office research. Bexar generic ballot · Harris official ballot page.

DISTRICT 25 — DIONE SIMS AND ROGER WILLIAMS

Dione Sims — Democratic, printed ballot. Her campaign describes community and nonprofit work alongside Opal Lee. Published plans propose healthcare coverage incentives, prescription-price negotiation, rural healthcare investment, childcare assistance and provider expansion, and safeguards for workers, water and electricity in data-center development. It pledges to reject Big Tech corporate PAC money. These are attributed commitments; donor compliance and claimed organizing outcomes need independent records.

Campaign · Policy, record or identity source

Questions: Which independently documented outcomes substantiate your nonprofit work? What costs, funding and deadlines support childcare and healthcare commitments? How will data-center rules protect communities?

Roger Williams — Republican, printed ballot; incumbent. His campaign supports conservative government, opposition to abortion and gun rights. The retrieved homepage offers biography rather than a complete costed next-term program. His congressional record is linked for bill, vote and committee review; a campaign description is not independent proof of legislative delivery.

Campaign · Policy, record or identity source

Questions: Where is your current legislative program? Which enacted laws and measured results establish performance? How are business interests and donor conflicts disclosed?

DISTRICT 26 — BRANDON GILL AND STEVEN SHOOK AND PHIL GRAY

Brandon Gill — Republican, printed ballot; incumbent. His government site identifies District 26 service. It announces proposed trucking-license restrictions, a catalytic-converter-theft bill and oversight concerning DEI practices. These are office statements and proposed actions, not findings that every allegation is proven or that the bills became law. No campaign URL was sufficiently verified in this pass.

Questions: Where is your full campaign platform? What final bill dispositions and measured outcomes establish performance? How would immigration and workplace proposals protect due process and equal constitutional rights?

Steven Shook — Democratic, printed ballot. His campaign describes advanced nursing training and critical-care work. It proposes a gradual transition to universal healthcare, prescription-price negotiation, grid investment, data-center contributions to infrastructure, public-school investment, protection of Social Security and Medicare, gun-safety measures, civil rights and immigration reform. Healthcare credentials and professional results require independent licensing and employment records.

Campaign · Policy, record or identity source

Questions: What transition costs and financing support healthcare reforms? What federal authority and safeguards govern grid and data-center plans? Which licensing and professional records verify preparation?

Phil Gray — Libertarian, printed ballot. The Libertarian Party’s current roster identifies him and supplies a portrait. A detailed current first-person platform and stand-alone campaign website were not verified. Third-party summaries describe positions, but those are not automatically adopted as his current program. The retrieved historical committee summary covers 2021 despite a 2026 query and is excluded from current totals.

DISTRICT 27 — MICHAEL CLOUD AND TANYA LLOYD AND WAYNE RAASCH

Michael Cloud — Republican, printed ballot; incumbent. His government issue page supports reducing federal government’s size and regulatory burden and proposes an agency sunset commission and congressional term limits. Its cited bill number must be checked against the relevant Congress before treating it as a current proposal. The campaign site timed out during review; that is an access limitation, not evidence of no platform or effort.

Campaign · Policy, record or identity source

Questions: Which current bill text and final dispositions support these proposals? How would agency sunset reviews protect essential services? What measured constituent and legislative results establish performance?

Tanya Lloyd — Democratic, printed ballot. Her reviewed campaign homepage supplies contact, contribution and volunteer information and a photograph, but little searchable policy text. A sufficiently detailed current first-person platform was not established in this pass; policies are not inferred from party affiliation. Her FEC evidence is separately dated below.

Wayne Raasch — Certified write-in, certified write-in; not a printed candidate. The official write-in certification establishes inclusion, separately from the printed candidates. A former Democratic-primary record is historical discovery evidence, not proof of his current write-in platform or party status. No detailed current campaign website, first-person program or current FEC summary was verified.

DISTRICT 28 — HENRY CUELLAR AND MARLÓN DURÁN AND TANO E. TIJERINA

Henry Cuellar — Democratic, printed ballot; incumbent. His government site describes education and opportunity priorities and announces a Ratepayer Bill of Rights proposal, rural home-care legislation and a housing package. These establish office statements and legislative activity, not final enactment or independently measured effects. Full votes, conflicts, legal proceedings and outcomes remain to be reviewed from primary records; opponent allegations are not findings.

Campaign · Policy, record or identity source

Questions: Which final laws and measured outcomes establish affordability and healthcare delivery? What public disclosures address donor, family and financial conflicts? Which primary dispositions clarify any legal-record questions?

Marlón Durán — Green, printed ballot. His campaign describes community organizing and translation work. It supports abolishing ICE, compassionate immigration treatment, climate action, worker protection, economic dignity and justice for Palestinians and Indigenous people. Biographical claims and organizing outcomes need independent records. No current finance summary was retrieved; missing data is unknown, not zero.

Questions: What legislation and replacement institutions would implement immigration proposals? What financing and measurable targets support climate and wage priorities? Which records substantiate your organizing outcomes?

Tano E. Tijerina — Republican, printed ballot. His campaign describes Webb County Judge service and claims repeated property-tax reductions. It supports border enforcement and practical immigration reform, lower taxes, regulatory reductions, spending restraint and clear cryptocurrency rules. County budgets, tax rates and service outcomes are needed to assess the tax claim; county authority does not transfer directly to Congress.

County corroboration: current candidate-level county checks remain pending for districts 25–28. State printed and write-in certifications are the eligibility basis; county election directories alone do not count as completed checks.

DATED FEDERAL FINANCE

FEC candidate summaries checked October 8, 2026. This table reports the exact coverage windows available in the retrieved summaries. Fifty-three rows end June 30; seven candidates have no retrieved financial summary; Self's row ends September 30 and is not comparable to June balances. Earlier June totals for Self and consistent first-half-year flows remain to be reconciled. Receipt and contribution totals are different measures; receipts can include loans and transfers. Cash is not net wealth. Outside expenditures and leadership PACs are separate from the candidate-authorized funds summarized here.

Districts 25–28 finance limitations: seven retrieved summaries end June 30 but have unequal start dates. Sims C00930974, Durán C00927913 and Raasch have no retrieved 2025–2026 summary. Gray’s old committee returned a 2021 coverage window; those historical figures are excluded. All four current summaries remain unknown, without inferring filing violations. Tijerina’s overview includes C00894543, C00895128 and C00929174; nominee-fund history, transfers and amendments need reconciliation before any funding comparison. Joint fundraising, leadership PACs and outside spending are not added. Shook and Gray remain included despite modest or unknown resources; this evidence does not establish the January–June 2026 low-funded threshold classification.

Districts 21–24 finance limitations: eight retrieved summaries end June 30, with different flow start dates. Hook’s candidate overview includes old C00855742 and current C00929703; committee history and amendments require reconciliation. Herrera’s receipts include transfers and candidate loans, so receipts are not synonymous with contributions. Teixeira’s debts are separately disclosed. Mendoza’s current committee identity and totals remain unknown. Greene-Scott is included despite modest reported funds; the broader window does not establish the project’s January–June 2026 low-funded classification. No fundraising ranking is inferred.

Districts 17–20 finance limitations: seven summaries end June 30 but flow windows differ. Whitfield H6TX18497 identifies C00929729 but has no retrieved financial summary; all amounts remain unknown, without inferring a filing violation. Shepard’s complete January 1–June 30, 2026 contributions of $3,800.93 qualify as low-funded under this project’s under-$100,000 contribution threshold, based on that disclosed period. His $8,800.93 receipts include a $5,000 candidate loan. Other broader windows are not used for that classification. Full amendment, donor and report-level reconciliation remains pending.

Districts 13–16 finance limitations: seven summary rows share June 30 but have different flow start dates. Jackson uses the authorized campaign C00730531; Team Ronny joint fundraising is not added. Bartie’s displayed cash balance is negative $1,091.91; beginning balances, amendments and report arithmetic need reconciliation. Bauman’s committee C00923532 links candidate H6TX16152, but the retrieved committee page provides no financial totals. His amounts remain unknown, not zero; this does not establish a filing violation. These broader cumulative periods cannot establish a January–June 2026 low-funding classification.

Identity and period note for districts 9–12: all eight retrieved rows end June 30, but flow start dates differ. Rourk uses C00910695 despite earlier District 31 material. Heli’s House page H6TX12169 has no summary; the amended December 3, 2025 Form 1 identifies her District 12 committee and campaign website. C00817692 is counted once, without adding the earlier Senate record. The committee cash and flow headlines need report-level reconciliation before any funding ranking.

Hockett finance exception: the principal committee summary links two candidate IDs, one of which returned 404 during this check. Its June 30 summary displays negative disbursements of −$13,257.72 and cash that does not reconcile arithmetically with those headline flows. The negative value is not interpreted as ordinary spending or corrected by invention; report-level amendments and totals remain to be reconciled. The committee is counted once, and no missing value is treated as zero.

Do not rank unequal-period flows or unequal-date cash balances as if they were a common comparison. Prince and Pearce are included despite small reported resources. The project’s low-funded threshold remains under $100,000 in contributions for January 1–June 30, 2026; Shepard qualifies from his complete January–June 2026 window; no designation is assigned to other candidates from broader or partial windows. Missing evidence is unknown, not zero. An explicitly reported zero applies only to that field and period. Newer pre-election reports, amendments, complete committee scope and itemized donor analysis remain pending. An FEC filing does not establish ballot eligibility.

THREE VOICES AND OPEN REPORT CARDS

AI research / provisional view: the sourced district profiles above. All sixty-one remain unscored. California's nine categories are experience, accountability, education, affordability, economic opportunity, civil rights and religious freedom for everyone, environment, practical office powers and measurable commitments. Commitment assessment requires a named document and up to two points each for action, mechanism, authority, target and deadline. An overall /90 total needs comparable evidence across all nine categories. Public statements and officeholder press releases are attributed evidence, not independent performance findings.

Voter response: Omar and readers may provide their own assessments. Candidate response / self-assessment: every candidate may submit corrections, records and a self-assessment. No replies to this report, voter votes, Omar scores or endorsements are invented. Historical campaign questionnaires and statements are not treated as responses to this project. Forecasts are separate from assessment scores.

Same practical request to every candidate: supply three priorities with legal authority, delivery mechanism, costs, targets and deadlines. For incumbents, link bills, final dispositions, votes and delivered results; for challengers, provide comparable professional and public-service records. Missing evidence stays unscored. This first pass is not a completed investigation of every career.

COVERAGE CHECKLIST

First candidate research pass: districts 1–28, sixty-one certified candidates, including one certified write-in, with explicit open evidence gaps. Pending candidate research: districts 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37 and 38, including the District 33 write-in. Full credentials, performance, finance amendments and donor reviews remain open. County congressional cross-checks: Harris 2, 7, 8, 9, 18 and 22; El Paso 16; Bexar 20, 21 and 23. All other county checks remain pending. Whitfield, Mendoza, Gray, Lloyd and Raasch retain platform or provenance gaps as described in their profiles. No county/local jurisdiction is complete.
