About JesusVoter

JesusVoter (jesusvoter.com) is an independent editorial site that publishes the Florida Values Voter Guide. We write for voters who put faith, family, and freedom first and who want a plain-English way to compare names on a long Florida ballot. The live guide covers all 67 Florida counties for the 2026 cycle: the statewide primary on Tuesday, August 18, 2026 and the general election on Tuesday, November 3, 2026.

This is not a newsroom pretending to be neutral, and it is not a campaign committee. It is a values guide with published rules. You can open the interactive ZIP tool on the Florida guide (or Texas), read how we score, or start with how to vote in Florida’s 2026 primary.

Who runs this

JesusVoter is an independent editorial project. It is not owned by a political party, a candidate, a church denomination, or a Supervisor of Elections. No government office writes our scores. No campaign pays for a higher number. When we get something wrong, we correct from public evidence — not from private pressure.

Questions, comments, and correction requests go to hello@jesusvoter.com (same address as on our contact page). If you think a score is off, send a campaign page, news story, questionnaire, recorded vote, or other named source we can open. Private faith, a kind email, or a claim we cannot check does not by itself change a number. We score what a voter can verify.

Florida is the full ZIP guide at /fl. Texas is live at /tx for the November 3, 2026 general — ZIP lookup for statewide races plus Harris, Dallas, Tarrant, Bexar, Travis, and Collin, with unique HTML landings for Harris and Dallas. Other launch-metro and rural counties stay in the file without cloned landings. Other states stay later until a real guide exists.

What we score — 45 / 35 / 20

Every scored candidate gets three numbers that add to a 100-point values total. The weights are public and fixed:

  1. Christian score (45) — public faith-and-family policy. Explicit public faith in Jesus Christ is weighted heaviest. We also look at pro-life positions, religious liberty, parental rights, marriage and family policy, and opposition to gender ideology in schools and sports. Quiet institutional conservatism is not the same as a Christ-named campaign.
  2. Constitution score (35) — limited government, borders, original meaning of the Constitution, free enterprise, fiscal restraint, and health freedom. On the cards this used to be labeled “paleo-conservative.” The ideas did not change; the name did.
  3. GOP score (20) — Republican registration, platform alignment, conservative voting record, and support from Republican institutions. An “R” next to a name is not a perfect score. An “NPA” line is not automatically a low score if the office is structurally nonpartisan and the public record is Republican-aligned.

Four callout badges — Trump, DeSantis, Musk, and MAHA — sit next to the numbers. They are filters, not extra points, except that a real MAHA / health-freedom record can also raise the Constitution score. That exception is written up in callout badges explained and in how we score.

What A–F values letters mean

The letter is the 100-point values total — Christian + Constitution + GOP. It is not a moral grade and not a report on how hard we looked.

If we have not finished a numeric score, the live card says Scores coming soon. That watermark is not an F. David Jolly’s 4 / 5 / 1 is 10 — an F on this scale — after a real look at a Democratic gubernatorial figure, not a claim that Democrats were ignored.

Where the facts come from

We use public, checkable sources. Typical stack:

We do not invent candidates, fake winners, or write quotes we did not find. We do not treat a church bio or the words “faith and family” as a full policy grid. If two people in the same race have very different research depth, the letters should show that. If you need the official list of who is actually on your ballot, that is the county sample ballot — see how to read a Florida sample ballot.

What this is not

How to use the 2026 cycle guide

Start with your registration and your official sample ballot, then use our numbers as a values overlay. Florida’s primary is generally closed for party nominations, which is why party registration matters for church voters who care about Governor or U.S. Senate. That civic rule is separate from our scores — we explain it in Florida’s closed primary for church voters.

For the open governor’s race (the seat is term-limited), we published a side-by-side of the researched Republican field — Fishback, Donalds, Renner, Collins, and others — at Florida governor 2026 values. For Central Florida’s open county mayor’s race (Jerry Demings is term-limited), see Orange County mayor 2026. Deep county landing pages for the largest fields are linked from all 67 county guides, including Orange, Miami-Dade, Hillsborough, Broward, Duval, Palm Beach, Pinellas, and Brevard.

The next statewide date after the August 18 primary is November 3, 2026. Some nonpartisan races (including Orange County mayor if no one reaches 50 percent) can continue to a November runoff. Cabinet and legislative nominees who emerge in August meet the other party’s nominees in November. Always re-check the sample ballot when the general styles post.

Roadmap

Florida is live now — ZIP lookup, a county map under the Map tab, county landing pages, and this set of publisher explainers. Additional states will launch only when they have real researched inventory — not empty “coming soon” microsites.
