It’s simple, we need to change the narrative in the Comptroller’s Office. The money belongs to the taxpayers, not the government. Right now, the office focuses on collecting revenue. I’ll focus on how that money is being spent, because ...

1. Respect for Taxpayer Dollars - I’m concerned that too many in government forget whose money they’re spending. Every dollar belongs to the taxpayer, not the government. 2. Oversight of Spending - The Comptroller’s Office should do more than track revenue; it should ensure ...

Texas does not have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem. I have devoted the last several years of my life to fight for real property tax relief and my foundation has whitepapers on eliminating school property taxes (which you can read at HuffinesLiberty.com). I believe with fiscal restraint and ...

While this is a legislative issue, I believe property rights are the foundation of liberty. As Comptroller, I will use my position to champion and defend the property rights of every Texan, not only in real estate, but also in their vehicles (personal property), their labor, and the fruits of their work. No government should ever ...

As you know, the Texas Constitution has a balanced budget requirement. I will collaborate with Republican lawmakers in the Legislature to craft a fiscally responsible, conservative budget that prioritizes the needs of Texas families. By bringing disciplined oversight and transparency to the state’s finances, I will ensure ...

Right now Texas spends over $500 million dollars a day, seven days a week. DOGE is not just about looking backwards, it is about moving forward with business urgency in defense of taxpayers. I would argue that DOGE will never and should never be "completed." It is not simply a box to check for me, it is the ...

I’ll make the Comptroller’s Office the most transparent agency in Texas. We’ll host monthly taxpayer town halls across the state and open-house meetings with legislators to ensure every concern is heard. I will bring my private-sector mindset to government. The customer should be treated with respect. As ...

This is a complex issue. My view depends on the district’s purpose, funding, and accountability. If a district is approved by those living inside of it, is transparent, is temporary, and directly benefits those who pay for it, without burdening neighboring taxpayers or expanding government, it can serve a legitimate purpose. ...

If I could fix government education funding, I’d start by looking for ways to increase efficency and decrease waste. For example, Texas spends over $8 billion a year educating illegal aliens. That’s money taken straight from Texas taxpayers and classrooms meant for our own kids. The Legislature should work ...

Before I DOGE Texas and go looking for corruption statewide, I’ve got to start by cleaning up my own office. Step one: a full forensic audit of the Comptroller’s office itself. I need to know exactly where every dollar is going and make sure that all 3,000 employees understand the mission, because we’re not going to ...

believe this is the most underutilized position in Texas. The Comptroller’s Office has historically focused on collecting money for government instead of protecting taxpayers. Who runs Texas? The administrative state. I’m running to shine a light on where that money is spent, root out corruption, and expose the sticky ...

I’m the only America First, proven conservative in this race, the MAGA candidate who’s actually fought and delivered. My campaign is endorsed by Senator Ted Cruz, Ron Paul, Riley Gaines, Vivek Ramaswamy, Charlie Kirk, over 75% of the Texas GOP SREC, and hundreds of conservative leaders across Texas. Read ...

As I said before, as the only candidate endorsed by Texans for Toll-Free Highways, I’ll fight to keep Texas roads free from tolls. Texans have already paid for these roads, they shouldn’t pay twice. In the Senate, I filed a bill to audit toll roads, and as Comptroller, I’ll continue to fight toll roads.
