Where their votes land

Each scale runs between the two parties. The left end is the side most Democrats took on a set of hand-picked roll-call votes, the right end the side most Republicans took, and John Cornyn's marker sits at the share of those votes they cast on the Republican side. Votes that most of both parties agreed on are left out, because they cannot show which side anyone was on.

Overall

average of 12 values
Democratic side100 · Voted with Republicans almost every timeRepublican side
  • Average Senate Democrat: 2
  • Average Senate Republican: 97

0 is the Democratic side of every party-split vote and 100 the Republican side of every one. This is the average of the 12 value positions below. A value with 4 or more votes counts once however many votes stand behind it; 2 values below have fewer than 4 votes and are counted for less in it.

    Only 3 votes — fewer than 4, so this is drawn with a hollow marker and counts for less in the overall position.

  • Guns

    2 of 2 votes
    Tighter limits on firearms2 of 2 with RepublicansFewer restrictions on lawful gun owners

    Only 2 votes — fewer than 4, so this is drawn with a hollow marker and counts for less in the overall position.

Positions count only the votes this person cast, so two people can be placed on different numbers of votes — the count beside each value says how many. How the votes were chosen, and how each party's side is counted.

Where the money came from

Receipts into John Cornyn’s own campaign committee over the 2025–2026 election cycle, through June 30, 2026.

  • Small individual donors$223,713
  • Large individual donors$3,532,479
  • PACs$1,479,732
  • Party committees$62,000
  • Transfers in$2,794,978
  • Other and unclassified$511,331
  • Total receipts$8,604,234
What these categories mean
Small individual donors
People whose giving stayed under $200 in total. The FEC does not require them to be named, so who they are is genuinely unknown — not merely unlisted.
Large individual donors
People whose giving passed $200, which is the point at which the campaign must report their name, employer and occupation.
PACs
Political action committees — corporate, trade, union and ideological. Money from an organisation rather than from a person.
Party committees
The member's own national, state or congressional-campaign party committees.
Transfers in
Money moved in from another committee the candidate is authorised by, typically a joint fundraising committee.
Other and unclassified
The remainder once every category above is accounted for: federal funds, offsets, interest, and anything this site could not classify. It is a residual, not a kind of donor.

This is money the campaign itself received. It is not everything spent to win the seat. It excludes leadership PACs, and it excludes independent expenditures and other outside spending — money spent to elect or defeat a candidate by groups they may not lawfully coordinate with, which in a contested race can exceed everything shown above. It is not personal income or net worth, which are a separate filing altogether. Figures are as filed with the Federal Election Commission and are only as current as the last report, covering through June 30, 2026; a cycle still running is a partial count. Check this filing on fec.gov.

Personal finances

Separately from the campaign money above, John Cornyn files a report about their own money: what they own, what they owe, what they earn outside Congress, and every stock trade they make. The law requires it, and every figure in it is a range rather than an amount — which is why the columns below are ranges too.

What they report owning, and owing
  • Reported assets$1.0M to $2.6M30 lines, 5 with no figure
  • Reported debts$315k to $650k3 lines

Every column is read from $0. The solid height is the total of the low ends of the bands the filer ticked; the pale cap runs on to the total of the high ends, and is the range the form allows — not a margin of error and not a guess. Assets less debts comes to $392k to $2.3M — a range, and not a net worth: the form does not ask about a personal residence that earns nothing, about congressional salary, or about the exact value of anything.

What the holdings are
  • Funds and managed accounts16 holdings, 2 with no figure$863k to $2.1M
  • Retirement, pensions and insurance8 holdings, 2 with no figure$132k to $330k
  • Bonds, cash and other securities6 holdings, 1 with no figure$47k to $180k
  • Every group$1.0M to $2.6M

A slice needs one number and a filer ticks a range, so each arc is its group’s floor — the total of the low ends they ticked — and the figure in the hole is the total of those floors. The band printed beside each group is the real answer, and it is wider than the arc. 5 holdings carry no figure at all and are in no arc.

From John Cornyn’s own financial disclosure, filed under the Ethics in Government Act. Every figure is the band the filer ticked.
