Issue Position: Economic Progress: An Opportunity Not Wasted

Issue Position

Texas benefits from its entrepreneurial spirit, deep capital, leading technological expertise, vast natural resources, and above all, people with a can-do attitude, all working together in a productive tax and regulatory environment in the geographic center of the country where the sun shines often… No wonder we have one of the most productive economies in the world! Now, as a friend once said to me, "There's so much to be proud of here, why screw it up?" I will not allow an anti-business, backwards social agenda in Austin to destroy or threaten the great benefits -- economic and social -- generated by the thriving business sector we've worked so hard, so cooperatively, to build. Instead, I'll pursue policies that improve our infrastructure, simplify our tax system, and invest in the productive capacity of our people.
