We must set clear priorities that will help maintain our position as a national leader now and in the future

setting clear budget priorities, living within our means and limiting the growth of government;
Investing in critical water, energy, and transportation infrastructure needs to meet the demands of
our rapidly growing state;
Ensuring excellence and accountability in public schools and institutions of higher education as
we invest in the future of this state and ensure Texans are prepared to compete in the global
marketplace;
Defending Texans by safeguarding our neighborhoods and protecting our internal border; and
Increasing transparency and efficiency at all levels of government to guard against waste, fraud,
and abuse ensuring that Texas taxpayers keep more their hard earned money to keep our
economy and our families strong
The Mission of Texas State Government
Texas State Government must be limited, efficient, and completely accountable. It should
foster opportunity and economic prosperity, focus on critical priorities, and support the
creation of strong family environments for our children. The stewards of the public trust must
be men and women who administer state government in a fair, just, and responsible manner.
To honor the public trust, state officials must seek new and innovative ways to meet state
government priorities in a fiscally responsible manner.
Aim high ... we are not here to achieve inconsequential things!
