Christi will launch a top-to-bottom audit to ensure every dollar is tracked, every program is reviewed, and no waste goes unchecked.Launch a Local Government Efficiency Task Force.From city budgets to special districts, Christi will lead a review of local budgets across Texas, helping communities cut waste and stretch taxpayer dollars further.Upgrade Outdated Technology.At the Railroad Commission, Christi cut permitting delays from months to 48 hours. She’ll bring the same results-driven approach to the Comptroller’s Office to modernize operations and eliminate bureaucratic delays.Faster Refunds for Texas Businesses.When small businesses overpay their taxes, they shouldn’t have to wait months to get their money back. Christi will make timely refunds a top priority, because government should work as hard as the people who fund it.Conservative Budget and Spending Limits.The Comptroller doesn’t pass laws, but it plays a key role in how we budget. Christi will partner with legislators to protect conservative priorities, ensure accurate revenue forecasts, and keep Texas a low-tax, pro-growth state.— Christi Craddick's campaign website (January 16, 2026)Note: This text is quoted verbatim from the original source.
