This matchup isn't final yet — we haven't confirmed every candidate here against the state's official candidate list.
This candidate list comes from federal campaign filings. We haven't checked it against TX's certified ballot yet — someone on that ballot may be missing here, and someone here may not be on it.
An open seat has no incumbent, so no incumbent record to compare — every candidate has statements. We show each for what it is.
HEAD-TO-HEAD · U.S. House · TX-8 · SAME SCALE, SAME METHOD, BOTH CANDIDATES
Two records. Your values.
Solid and hatched shapes are built from roll-call votes wherever a record exists — what each did, not what either says; a shape drawn from reviewed statements is marked on statements. Whose record sits closer to yours is your call to make.

We hold no positions yet for any candidate in this race — none derived from congressional roll-call votes, none from stated campaign positions. That is a gap in our coverage, not a finding about the candidates.
