No gradeNo grade yetI have no votes in Congress to count for Sims, and what Sims has said and done settles only 0 of my principles. I went through it on October 27. A grade needs 4.

Voting in Texas: how to register, vote early or vote by mail. Election Day was November 3.
Side by side
A solid letter is a grade from recorded votes on that principle. An outlined letter is on the same scale, for a candidate with no votes: it comes from what that candidate has said and done, and every source is listed below.
Dione Sims, on the record
I have no votes in Congress to count for Sims, so the grade above comes from this list: what Sims has said and done on my principles. Each line has its source, and each is marked with the same test I use for votes.
-
She would lower drug prices by expanding Medicare price negotiation and capping out-of-pocket costs.
“lower prescription drug prices by expanding Medicare negotiation, capping out-of-pocket costs, and cracking down on price gouging and anti-competitive practices”
- By the test I use for votes
- Not clear either way
Spot-check 28 Oct: Medicare negotiation and an out-of-pocket cap are not named as price controls in the measure table, so the line does not settle the measure.
-
Asked about border security, she backed port-of-entry investment and enforcement aimed at public safety threats, opposed mass sweeps, and asked for ICE reforms.
“targeted enforcement focused on genuine public safety threats, not political theater or mass sweeps that punish working families”
- By the test I use for votes
- Not clear either way
She backs both enforcement and limits on it, with no wall, amnesty or abolition named, so the words do not settle it.
