Three 2026 races, and what the record shows

In each race, one candidate sits in the Texas House and has votes on these bills, and the other does not. Each page says exactly what the record shows for both, and where the two kinds of record stop being comparable.

• Governor: Gina Hinojosa and Greg Abbott
  Why Greg Abbott has no votes here: Has never served in a legislature, so he has no roll-call record at all.
  What the record shows for both
• Lieutenant Governor: Vikki Goodwin and Dan Patrick
  Why Dan Patrick has no votes here: Presides over the Senate rather than voting in the House, so he casts no vote on these bills.
  What the record shows for both
• U.S. Senate: James Talarico and Ken Paxton
  Why Ken Paxton has no votes here: His last legislative vote was in 2015, before any of the three took office — there is no session they share.

The quiz shows how all three House candidates voted on each bill once you have answered it.

There is also a one-page fact sheet, to print or to hand to someone.

Who made this. Marco Arras, a Texas resident. I donate to the Democratic Party, and I say so before anything else rather than in a footnote. The rule that picks which votes appear is published and runs identically on both caucuses, and every vote and count is in a file you can download and check.
