Eric Andresen
“The greatest risk to Texas isn’t failure, it’s losing focus on what made this success possible. States that moved away from fiscal discipline and pro-growth policies saw opportunity shrink. Texas has taken a different path. Staying on that path requires focus, discipline, and leadership.”
