Jim Pitts is a lifelong resident of our community and a strong fiscal conservative. He’s a small business owner who knows firsthand how to create jobs.  And since we elected him to office, Texas has led the nation in job creation. That’s what we need: more people in public office who have real jobs in the real world.

As Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, Jim is charged with keeping our state’s budget balanced and our economy thriving. As the leader of this critical committee for the past two sessions, he has cut a record 16 billion dollars in government spending and he is also responsible for passing the largest tax cut in the history of Texas.

Award-winning leadership:

For his hard work on our behalf, Jim Pitts has been named one of “Texas’ Best Legislators” by Texas Monthly and received the “Fighter for Free Enterprise” Award from Texas Association of Business for his voting record on pro growth policies. He received the “Patient Protectorate Award” from the Texas Medical Association, was named one of the “12 Stars of Texas” by the Texas Farm Bureau Friends of Agriculture, and hailed as a “Leader of Excellence Award” by the Independent Colleges & Universities of Texas. That’s a record we can be proud of.
