Category Breakdown

Sanctity of Life

10/10
Candidate affirms life begins at conception and personhood from conception
TRUE (+2)
1 claim

  1. Steinmann stated she 'supports the current law on abortion as it currently stands.' Texas law post-Dobbs (HB 1280, the Human Life Protection Act) prohibits abortion in virtually all circumstances from fertilization forward, placing her in alignment with a life-protective standard that guards the unborn from conception.

    Verified 2026-07-05Dispute this claim

TRUE (+2)
Candidate opposes embryonic stem-cell research, IVF embryo discard, and chimeric experimentation

TRUE (+2)
1 claim

  1. As general counsel of the America First Policy Institute, Steinmann led litigation requiring transgender athletes to compete in sports according to their biological sex — a direct application of the rubric's rejection of transgender ideology in policy. The litigation was a primary campaign credential she highlighted in her successful 2026 TX-08 Republican primary.

TRUE (+2)
1 claim

  1. Campaigns on a family-protection platform rooted in her DOJ anti-trafficking work and conservative litigation record at the America First Policy Institute; opposes federal overreach into parental and family decisions and previously worked for Ted Cruz and the Texas House of Representatives, both staunchly pro-parental-rights institutions.

Not yet verified
Candidate opposes deficit spending and supports a balanced-budget constitutional amendment
TRUE (+2)
1 claim

Candidate supports completed physical border barrier and active military border presence
TRUE (+2)
1 claim

  1. Her DOJ role as Director of the Office of Victims of Crime (2020-21) centered on combating human trafficking at the southern border; she campaigns on a record of enforcement-focused border policy backed by federal prosecutorial experience. Border security is a cornerstone of her 2026 campaign alongside her Cruz-aide and conservative-litigation background.
