Texans Uniting for Reform & Freedom (TURF) compiled this Voter Guide to gauge candidates' positions on toll roads, transportation policy (including accountability and transparency), and property rights. Based on each candidate's answers to our survey, they received a grade.
NOTE: This guide only includes contested primary races (so those with no opponent do not appear in this guide).* It generally only includes candidates who returned our survey in writing (filled out by the candidate him or herself). You can’t trust what they tell you until they’re willing to put it in writing (and even then we have trouble holding them to it!). SInce so many candidates never fill out our survey, we did our own research on the run-off candidates and also provide a 'reocmmended list' not to be confused with Texans for Toll-free HIghways' actual endorsements based on its findings (NOT based on commitments made by the candidates in wirting). So be forewarned, those candidates are considered the best option, but in no way implies they've signed onto our legislative agenda. The below candidates will appear on the GOP Primary Run-Off Ballot.
See the 2021 Texas TURF Report Card for the grade of every incumbent state legislator.
