Our state’s chief financial officer should be a watchdog for your money, not a lapdog for the rich and powerful.

The Comptroller oversees your tax dollars. But for too long the office has sat quietly and signed checks in a system of single-party rule that doesn’t want to be challenged.

I’m running because the Texas Comptroller has the ability to do so much more for you.

• The Comptroller can audit the voucher scheme.

• The Comptroller can expose how much it costs when the state refuses Medicaid expansion.

• The Comptroller can stop no-bid contracts to wealthy donors.

I’m running to restore trust and accountability in government – to make sure it works for the people who pay for it. I’ve taken on corruption before as a county prosecutor, and I’ve delivered results as a county judge and state senator. 

As Comptroller, I’ll bring that same independence and integrity to the job – a vocal, practical champion for a government that is effective, efficient, fair, and minimally intrusive.
