DALLAS, TX, June 19, 2025 – Today, Grassroots America announced their endorsement of conservative Republican businessman Don Huffines for Texas Comptroller.
Grassroots America has released the following statement:
“Candidate interviews now complete, we strongly endorse Don Huffines for Texas Comptroller.
‘Limited government, spending less, producing measurable results for taxpayers' are phrases that have disappeared from the lips of 99% of Texas 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.
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.
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.
Turned loose to ‘DOGE' Texas government, Huffines can and will set a course-correcting standard from the office that is charged with certifying the state budget as balanced.
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. In fact, it will cost him 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 tax and sound money 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.” – JoAnn Fleming, Executive Director, on behalf of the Grassroots America Board of Directors
