Issue Position: Grow the Economy

Issue Position

Greg Abbott knows that it's vital to keep the Texas economy an international leader.

Since Governor Abbott took office, Texas has added more than 500,000 new jobs. More Texans have jobs today than ever before in the history of our state.

Governor Abbott has repealed $250 million worth of professional fees that were barriers to Texans entering the workforce.

In fact, if Texas was its own country, it would be the 10th largest economy in the world.

Greg Abbott also promised to cut taxes, delivering the largest tax relief package in nearly a decade--more than $4 billion. The business franchise tax was slashed by 25 percent--a $2.5 billion tax cut.

Property taxes were cut by more than a billion dollars.

Texas continues to outperform and outrank the other states in economic liberty, job growth, and more. But more can be done to make sure every Texan that wants a job has the opportunity to prosper.
