The Office

The Texas Lieutenant Governor presides over the Senate, decides which bills get hearings, controls committee assignments, and sets the legislative agenda. The office determines what becomes law in Texas and what never even reaches a vote.

These decisions shape the funding of our public schools, the stability of our energy grid, property taxes, workplace protections, support for small businesses, and the services available to seniors and veterans. The Lieutenant Governor also influences policies that affect ranchers, farmers, and rural communities across the state.

For working families, small business owners, seniors, veterans, and the people who keep Texas fed and supplied, the Lieutenant Governor’s choices directly affect living costs, economic opportunity, healthcare access, and the future of our communities.

No matter where you live in Texas, the actions of the Lieutenant Governor have a major impact on your life, your livelihood, and the prosperity of our entire state.
