Sarah Eckhardt Democrat

Comptroller of Public Accounts

The Comptroller collects taxes. Its Democratic nominee sits in the Texas Senate and has filed cannabis regulation, decriminalisation and constitutional-amendment bills across four legislatures, and voted against the hemp-THC ban. Eleven documented acts in a race nobody would think to check.
