§3What they've said on the issues

Why this matters: These are positions the candidate has stated publicly — on their campaign website or in public statements — summarized in plain words with a link to where they said it. Issues they haven't spoken about publicly are left out.

Drafted by AI from the public sources cited. Each sentence links to its source.

Each issue has its own range of views. A position is marked on that range only when the candidate's own statement clearly matches one option; there is no overall left–right score.

Immigration

Legal immigration levels

His campaign website says he strongly supports legal immigration and expanding opportunities for legal immigrants, but that the border must be secured immediately and Border Patrol given the resources it needs.5

Family and Social Policy

Child tax credit

His campaign website says he will explore ways to save families money, including through the Child Tax Credit.5

Child care costs

His campaign website says he will explore tax credits and investments that help parents who are struggling with child care.5

Energy and Climate

Permitting for energy projects

His campaign website says permitting and regulatory reform are necessary to speed up both traditional and low-carbon energy development.5

Economy, Jobs and Trade

Cryptocurrency rules

His campaign website says blockchain and cryptocurrency could change society for the better, points to the FIT21 bill as the kind of bipartisan lawmaking needed, and says he would push for sensible rules that encourage innovation while protecting the public from bad actors.5

  1. Write separate federal rules for crypto, as the House-passed bill would, with most tokens overseen as commodities rather than securities
  2. Write separate crypto rules, but with stricter protections than the House-passed bill, such as tougher anti-money-laundering rules or ethics limits on senior officials' crypto businesses
  3. Apply the same rules that already cover stocks, banks and other financial products
Marked: the option their statement matches.

§4Popular bills that never got a vote

Why this matters: Many bills with wide support from both parties never reach a vote, so no member of Congress is ever on record for or against them. Signing on as a sponsor or cosponsor is the only public record of support.

While Jeff Hurd served, these bills had broad support from both parties but never reached a floor vote. No officeholder ever had to vote on them. Jeff Hurd sponsored or cosponsored 9 of the 26. How bills die without a vote.

§5Money

Why this matters: Campaigns report where their money comes from and how much they have left. Outside groups that spend on their own, without coordinating with the campaign, report that too.

Smaller expenditures that appear only on a group's regular monthly or quarterly report aren't in these totals, so the full amounts can be somewhat higher. When a group amends a report, only its latest version is counted.

§6Financial disclosures

Why this matters: Federal candidates and members of Congress must report their assets, income, debts and outside jobs, and members must report stock trades. These filings show possible conflicts of interest.
