Primary Runoff Election Edition

There are almost 3 dozen runoff races from the primaries! We have sent out a survey to candidates seeking the Democratic and Republican nominations for the following offices: US Senate, US Congress, Texas House and Texas Senate. Their responses have been compiled and we have also included incumbent voting records, and contact information for all candidates seeking your vote to serve in the state and federal legislatures. Answers are provided unedited.

Texas and 26 other states in the U.S. cannot collect signatures to place an issue on the ballot for a vote to change state law. Additionally, in 1997, Texas passed a state law requiring that all drug laws be enforced and changed at the state rather than local level. Because of these limitations, Texans must rely on our state elected officials, specifically our state representatives and state senators (so take a close look at yours). Learn more about engaging with your legislators by reviewing our Activist Training Guide.

Texas NORML originated the first cannabis centric Voter Guide in 2012. We continued to expand the program by working with our coalition, Texans for Responsible Marijuana Policy, a broad coalition of organizations, activists, and community leaders dedicated to realizing effective, efficient, and evidence-based marijuana policies in Texas. We offer Primary Election and General Election Voter Guide editions.
