Taxes and the economy

I'm proud to have voted for a balanced budget that focuses on the core functions of government and lowered taxes on Texas businesses. Washington DC could learn a lot from Texas.

The economic success of Texas is not an accident. Led by motivated entrepreneurs and innovative employers Texas leads the nation in job creation. That is why I am committed to maintain a business climate where taxes are low, regulations are reasonable and predictable and where our civil justice system allows for proper redress in the courts, but does not reward jackpot justice.

I know government does not create jobs, and I am committed to helping foster an environment where the businesses where we work can thrive so we can support of families. Williamson County is the fastest-growing county in the Lone Star State, and it didn't happen by chance. The conservative, free-market solutions, which have made our home so successful, are models for Texas and the nation. I have seen them at work first hand, and I take them with me to Austin.
