It’s Time to Make LIMITED Government Great Again in Texas! A limited-government Comptroller who hates corruption, has a record of rooting it out, and has sent thieves to jail is exactly what Texas needs. Don Huffines has done that.

The PROBLEM: “Limited government, spending less, producing measurable results for taxpayers” are phrases that have disappeared from the lips of 99% of TX Republican elected officials.

The 89th Legislative Session continued the unhealthy pattern of wild spending to fund government growth and corporate welfare instead of sending the surplus back to Texans.

Out of a $52 Billion Surplus, the legislature granted a measly $6.6 Billion in tax relief. This surplus comes from oil and natural gas production tax revenues that exceed a baseline set in 1987, plus unencumbered (not earmarked) General Revenue. It is called the Rainy Day Fund or Economic Stabilization Fund (ESF).

According to Texas Policy Research (and state budget documents), state spending has grown 27.4% in the last four years. The 2026–27 budget is the largest in state history – reaching $338.5 billion. Regulatory spending alone increased 800%!

The Governors of Arkansas and Florida keep limited government at the policy and legislative forefront. We don’t hear or see any of that in Texas. It’s just the opposite.

The SOLUTION: Turned loose to “DOGE” Texas government, Huffines can and will set a course-correcting standard. Many of us believe that with a Texas budget that dwarfs fraud-riddled Minnesota’s, there’s plenty of fraud and waste to find!

Huffines will put a bright spotlight on the creative bookkeeping and accounting gimmicks that keep state spending murky. He’s got the knowhow and the guts to push Texas toward responsible spending.

Don is uniquely qualified for the office of Comptroller. He doesn’t need the job and he’s pledged not to take a salary or retirement benefits. In fact, it will cost Don millions in personal earnings to take on this mission, but his honed and proven free market executive management skills, business success, and decades of focus on over-taxation issues are desperately needed in Texas.

Don Huffines loves Texas so much that he’s stepped up to Make Limited Government Great Again in Texas. We can’t wait to see him do it.

Former Texas state senator and the 2026 Republican nominee for comptroller after the March 3 primary. He has said he would treat the office as a taxpayer watchdog.

Former Dallas-area State Senator who won the open-seat primary outright with nearly 58% of the vote, defeating acting Comptroller Kelly Hancock and former Railroad Commissioner Christi Craddick. A successful real-estate developer and past Republican gubernatorial candidate, Huffines pledges aggressive fiscal conservatism and elimination of wasteful state spending.
