Not on the November ballot

Martin is not on the November ballot for this seat. Christian Menefee and Ronald Whitfield are.

A primary result is a filed fact about a contest, not a judgement about a candidate. Martin's campaign finance and record below are still their own record, and their committee may still be filing.

Against the field for this seat

Each campaign's reported receipts on one shared scale, in ballot order, not money order.

Muted rows are campaigns not on the November ballot; this page's own row keeps its weight so the comparison stays readable.

The whole race

In their own words

What Martin's campaign says it would work on.

The priorities Martin's own campaign site lists, quoted as written there. They are what the campaign says. Nobody has voted on them.

  • Healthcare Should Be Good, Simple, and Cheap
  • Hands Off Our Stuff: No Cuts, No Compromises
  • Veterans Deserve More
  • Fair Jobs, Fair Pay
  • Protect Public Schools, Expand Opportunity
  • The Capital of Energy: Building a Resilient and Sustainable Houston
  • Equality for All: Fighting for LGBTQ+ Rights
  • A Roadmap of Respect for Undocumented Individuals and New Residents
  • Making Voting Easier, Not Harder
  • A Future of Choice and Freedom for All
  • Keeping Houston Safe from Gun Violence
  • Breaking the Stigma, Building Support

Quoted from isaiahmartin.org, read August 14, 2026. A campaign site changes; this is what it said on that date. Curia quotes these and does not check, rate or rank them.

Record in office

Martin has not held this office, so there is no federal voting record, no cosponsorships and no committee service to report.

That absence is not a position for or against anything; it is what a first federal campaign looks like in the public record.

Candidates and financing from the FEC, public domain. Nothing here is a forecast, a grade, or a ranking of candidates.
