Issue Position: Creating Good Jobs At Home

Issue Position

John has worked for the same local small business, Commercial Metals, since he graduated from college. He's seen firsthand the harmful impact bad taxes and government regulation can have on local job creators. And he has prided himself on being a backstop for our small business owners.

Named a "Champion of Free Enterprise" by Texas Association of Business and endorsed by the National Federation of Independent Business/Texas, John passed an across-the-board 25% cut of the Texas franchise tax so our small businesses can expand and hire more.

But John knows the work is not yet finished. Next session, he will continue his fight for a full repeal of the franchise tax, which is estimated to create $3.4 billion in annual investments and up to $129,999 new jobs within five years.
