Early voting has began and will continue through February 25th, while Super Tuesday will take place March 1st for primary elections in Texas.
Texas NORML released the Texas Marijuana Policy Voter’s Guide shortly before early voting started. The plan is to give voters an idea of the candidate’s marijuana policy plans in the districts where they are running.
The guide has each federal congressional district candidate responses, each state representative’s district candidate responses, and every state senator’s district candidate responses.

Governor) which is up for reelection every four years, is also up for reelection this year.
