Michael’s Priorities for Texas

End School Property Taxes Permanently

Texas homeowners and renters are trapped in a system that treats property ownership like permanent tenancy. Michael will lead the push to end school property taxes entirely and replace them with a transparent, sustainable funding model that actually benefits Texans.

Universal School Choice

Michael believes every child deserves equal access to the education that fits them best—public, private, charter, or home school. As Comptroller, he will champion TRUE universal school choice, not watered-down versions that leave families behind.

Fix Broken Appraisal & Taxation System

The Legislature forces the Comptroller to issue studies that shift blame onto local chief appraisers. Michael will expose this system, bring transparency, and protect taxpayers from unfair valuations and tax increases disguised as “normal adjustments.”

Stop Government Waste & Budget Abuse

Texas has become the 5th-largest economy in the world—but state leaders continue growing budgets with surpluses meant to serve taxpayers. Michael will stop budget creep, increase accountability, and ensure taxpayer money serves taxpayers, not political favors.

Protect Businesses From Tax Shifts

As homeowners become more educated and reduce their tax burden, the state shifts the weight onto businesses. Michael will protect employers and investors, from these hidden tax increases that threaten growth and competitiveness.

Informing Taxpayers of Their Rights

Michael has spent years teaching Texans how to defend themselves against unfair taxation. As Comptroller, he'll continue empowering taxpayers through outreach and statewide education.
