Good Governance In Texas Starts with the Governor

Only dedicated Texans can bring this change about!

Texans are overtaxed:
Surpluses are really overtaxed citizens. Texas can afford a sales tax cut!
Property tax rates are too high in every local government!
End Corporate Welfare - exempting commercial property off the tax roles is one reason property taxes are too high for everyone else.
Texans deserve a bigger voice in public education. The Texas Education Commissioner should be elected.
The success Texas has had on ending abortion, now a real focus on our Adoption and Foster Care for these children brought to term.
Much has been done on industrializing Texas. We must insure our agriculture industry is also vibrant and sustainable.
