About Us

Empower Texans exists to create and sustain a system of strong fiscal stewardship within all levels of Texas government, ensuring the greatest amounts of economic and personal liberty, and promoting public policies that provide individuals with the freedom to use their strengths and talents in pursuit of greater opportunities.

Why are we needed?

The greatest threat to our state’s economic growth and competitiveness is the weight of government on the economy. If government and taxes are allowed to grow without restraint, the economy will contract, thereby limiting opportunities for all Texans. We seek policy outcomes that provide increasing levels of economic liberty and opportunity for all Texans by controlling the size of government.

How do we do it?

We will inform voters, taxpayers and elected officials about policy solutions that are consistent with the principles of individual liberty and free markets, while working to build support for those policies among key constituencies.

As a 501c4 non-profit organization, we rely on the generous contributions of individuals who join us in promoting free markets in an effort to empower Texans.

Empower Texans' premier project is Texans for Fiscal Responsibility. The organization also manages the Empower Texans PAC, which is directly engaged in the electoral process in Texas.
