I am endorsed by the Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, Senator Ted Cruz, former Texas Governor Rick Perry and Agricultural Commissioner Sid Miller. Together we will fight to secure the southern border and make Biden pay back what Texas has spent. The border will be fully funded along with our incredible law enforcement to keep Texas and our country sovereign.
I will also respect and support parents and the right to choose their children’s education with their own education savings account in which 88% of Republican voted for in the 2022 primary.- Secure Texas’ Border!
- Educational Savings Account!! Parents and their children need to be supported and respected for their choice of school!
- Election Integrity!! Voter ID and paper ballots!!
Senator Marsha Blackburn. Riley Gaines

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
