"@GlennHamer, president and CEO of the Texas Association of Business, said Abbott “knocked it out of the park” with his agenda and praised his focus on water infrastructure, an expansion of vocational career training and property tax cuts. '@GovAbbott's priorities neatly align with job creators in Texas,' Hamer said. Hamer, who chairs the governor’s Small Business Freedom Council, which is focused on reducing business regulations, said Abbott’s agenda charted a course for the state to continue to be an economic leader." @txbiz @TexasTribune Read the full article here:

#Texas wins with trade, & we want to do everything possible to maintain tariff-free trade with Mexico and Canada. As we look at the longer-term #USMCA review process, we hope to find ways to further reduce non-tariff barriers so we can have an even more seamless trade with our North American trade partners & position Texas businesses large and small to better compete on the global stage.

USMCA, negotiated by President Trump, is the best trade deal ever. This landmark agreement has fueled record-breaking trade & job growth in Texas. In 2023 alone, Texas exported over $491B in goods—Mexico & Canada accounted for over half. Tariffs threaten this success. Instead of disrupting trade, we should double down on USMCA’s benefits—modernizing infrastructure, securing supply chains & keeping Texas as North America’s trade powerhouse. @txbiz will always fight for pro-business trade policies.  #KeepTexasTrading #TexasLeadsTrade #USMCA #TexasEconomicDevelopment @GlennHamer @MasseyV56 @davidzapata21 @GabrielaTxBiz

🧵President Donald Trump is taking decisive action to protect Americans from the fentanyl crisis. Fentanyl is the leading cause of death for Americans ages 18 to 45. Today’s tariff announcement is necessary to hold China, Mexico, and Canada accountable for their promises to halt the flood of poisonous drugs into the United States. 1/5

Today, we joined @nfib_tx in announcing our strong support for @TeamBettencourt's SB 818 & @DennisPaul129's HB 1906, which would create a much-needed process to estimate how proposed legislation could impact the cost of private health coverage for employers and families—filling a critical gap in Texas’ approach to health benefit mandates. “Texans deserve a transparent, affordable health care system that works for everyone, from small businesses to families. By shining a light on the true cost of health benefit mandates, these bills represent a crucial step toward empowering elected officials with the information they need to make informed decisions. We applaud Senator Bettencourt and Representative Paul for their leadership in addressing the rising cost of health care and for championing solutions that will strengthen Texas’ business climate and benefit hardworking Texans statewide.” - TAB President & CEO @GlennHamer Read the full press release here: #txlege
