What did candidates report?
Compare 43 exact Texas Ethics Commission July Semiannual records and three exact FEC summaries. One state candidate has an explicit unavailable note instead of an invented zero.
When and how do I vote?
Review registration, early voting, ballot-by-mail application and receipt rules, voter identification, polling hours, write-ins, and statewide judicial scope.
How to read the money: State cards reproduce the official July Semiannual totals file with each report number, filer ID, PDF page, and exact coverage period. Separate PAC records are not combined. Federal cards retain their FEC candidate-specific windows.
