Texans Uniting for Reform & Freedom (TURF) compiled this Voter Guide to gauge candidates’ positions on toll roads, transportation policy (including the kill switch, road diets, & right to repair), and property rights. Based on each candidate’s answers to our survey, they received a grade.
NOTE: This guide focuses primarily on contested races. It also only includes candidates who returned our survey in writing (filled out by the candidate themselves, with the exception of presidential race, which is based on his/her record). If you do not see a candidate here, they did NOT return our candidate survey in writing.
Those candidates who also signed our pledge are indicated by:
Do NOT cast your vote until you know where the candidate stands on tolls.
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!). Have them contact us immediately.
See the 2023 Texas TURF Report Card for the grade of every incumbent state legislator.
