One big state needs to stop paying lobbyist salaries

Texas has needs in public safety, infrastructure and essential services. Taxpayers shouldn't have to fund upwards of $100 million annually on lobbyists who work against the voters.

Your tax dollars are being used to lobby for divisive, left-wing causes. Progressive politicians backed by radicals like billionaire George Soros use hundreds of millions of dollars to try and force their agenda on the Texas legislature to kill common-sense policies and push the state left.   Texas state Senator Mayes Middleton is the author of SB19 and president of Middleton Oil Company, an independent oil and gas company. 

What exactly is taxpayer-funded lobbying? In recent years, Texas has seen a surge of local governments, school districts and associations — such as the Texas Association of School Boards — hiring lobbyists with your tax dollars to wine, dine and entertain legislators in an effort to influence legislation.
