What this organization says it wants
Texas Optometric Association is on record about 4 bills, through federal lobbying filings and testimony to state committees. None of them carries both a stated side and a bill we have placed on the scale, so there is nothing here to compare yet.

What it says on the issues
Statements that name no bill. Each was placed on one of our lines by reading the quote, and kept only where our quiz questions on that line, answered from the same quote, lean the same way. Each counts like one answer to a quiz question.

What we don't have on this organization
No politicians linked
We have no contribution from this organization to any candidate on file yet. The contribution walk is still running, so this may be a gap in our ingestion rather than in its giving.
No committee totals
This committee’s own receipts and disbursements — its totals as filed — are not ingested. What we hold about its money is the contributions we have matched to named candidates.
