Issue Position: Balancing Our Budget Every Time

Issue Position

When it comes to our state budget, John is guided by three principles: fiscal responsibility, taxpayer accountability, and cutting waste. He focuses in on meeting the most crucial needs of our families, while living within our means. Under John's leadership, Texas has passed a debt-free, balanced budget every time.

With it's $19 trillion in debt, Washington could learn a thing or two from Texas about passing a balanced budget.

Moving forward, with low oil prices stifling statewide energy production, John is helping our state take wise steps to prepare for the future. In addition to passing a balanced budget with no statewide debt, John ensured we kept $11 billion in savings so we always have the means to meet our state's most vital needs.
