Issue Position: Lowering Taxes

Issue Position

In 2015, during the 84thLegislative Session, I proudly Co-Authored legislation providing the largest tax cuts in Texas history -- giving Texas business and property owners nearly $4 billion in tax relief. Going forward, I am committed to implementing meaningful property tax relief for Texas homeowners so that Texans can keep more of their hard-earned money -- where it does the most good. Further, I will continue my advocacy in the Texas Legislature to repeal the onerous franchise tax -- which I believe to be flawed from its inception. And, perhaps most importantly, I will vigorously oppose any and all attempts to enact an income tax in the State of Texas.
