State Rep. Benjamin Bumgarner - Texas Policy Research

2026 Texas General Election

This last session we worked hard to bring the largest tax cut in Texas history. By implementing policies that promote responsible spending and efficient resource allocation, we can reduce the strain on taxpayers. Additionally, exploring alternatives such as increasing the state's share of education funding could help ease the local property tax burden, making homeownership more accessible for all Texans. Lower property taxes not only benefit individuals and families but also create a more attractive environment for businesses and investors, ultimately stimulating economic development across the state.

A True Conservative. Working for You.

Support Small Businesses

State policy can have a huge impact on small businesses, the backbone of our economy. Ben voted to provide small business owners financial freedom and reducing regulatory burdens to allow them to thrive. Ben is committed to fostering sustainable economic growth, by championing policies that empower small businesses, spark innovation, and keep Texas as the best state to start a business.

Economy

During the 88th Legislative Session, Ben authored and passed legislation to crack down on human trafficking across the State of Texas. He has also passed legislation to cut governmental red tape and protect service member’s confidential information.

Secure The Southern Border

Unregulated border areas have led to a surge in activities that threaten national security and challenge law enforcement, including human trafficking, drug smuggling, and other criminal activities. It is our duty to support policies and initiatives that strengthen border security, ensuring that those who come to our country do so legally. In his first term, Ben co-sponsored the legislation that added billions to Texas' efforts to continue border wall construction and Operation Lone Star.

Protecting Our First Responders

First responders, such as police officers, firefighters, and paramedics, play a critical role in maintaining the safety and well-being of our communities. In the 88th Legislative session, Ben filed the Wade Cannon Act which would provide occupational cancer screenings for our firefighters. He also supported legislation that protected our police officers and provided resources to recruit and retain good law enforcement officers. In the 89th Legislature, Ben plans to refile the Wade Cannon Act along with other bills that lift up our first responders.

Education

Texas is a national leader in energy production, and by fostering growth in the energy sector, we create jobs, stimulate economic development, and enhance our energy independence. By encouraging responsible exploration and production, we can ensure a reliable and affordable energy supply for our citizens while reducing our dependence on foreign sources. Ben believes that a robust energy sector is not only vital for our state's prosperity but also contributes to the nation's energy security and competitiveness. Any attempt from the Biden Administration to limit our energy production, is an attack on Texas.

Supports expanding energy exploration and production to maintain affordable, reliable energy and reduce dependence on foreign sources.
