Issues: Government Budget and Spending
Aggressive steps must be taken to eliminate wasteful government spending to keep Texas on our steady path towards economic prosperity. Since I took the oath of office in 2013, we have made great strides to end irresponsible diversions and accounting gimmicks within the state budget. Most significantly, I've been on the front lines in the fight to stop dishonest accounting practices to ensure a more honest, open and transparent budget that Texas taxpayers expect and deserve. Further, I proudly authored legislation providing stricter spending limits within our state budget to ensure a leaner, more fiscally sound government.
