Texas is business, and Texas means business. That means jobs, paychecks, and opportunity, but it also means strength: no-nonsense leadership and zero tolerance for corruption, waste, or woke ideology. In Texas, our culture is rooted in faith and freedom, and families and businesses rise or fall together. When they’re overtaxed, overregulated, or treated unfairly, everyone pays the price. But when we cut taxes and stand firm on our values, Texas grows and wins.

Texas spends over $500 million a day, seven days a week. Don Huffines will conduct forensic audits across all local governments and state agencies to ensure tax dollars are spent properly and transparently. Under a Huffines administration, no one in government will feel safe from a surprise audit. He will shift the focus of the Comptroller’s office away from auditing businesses and toward aggressively auditing government spending, finding savings, and returning budget surpluses to taxpayers through property tax relief for businesses, renters, and homeowners.
