Rep. Chip Roy

Well, this is partly why there's a significant number of people in the Austin swamp who are opposing me.

And it's because they know that I'm going to bring a fresh view to the Austin swamp.

And it is every bit as swampy as the Washington swamp.

Don't kid yourself.

One party rule.

They might be on our side of the ideological spectrum, but it has a way of corrupting.

And so they know I'm going to come in and pursue truth wherever it may lead.

I will go after NGOs and nonprofits.

I will go after every government dollar.

I've already talked to Don Huffines, who's going to be our comptroller candidate.

I want to open up all the books.

I want to know where the money came from.

I want to know where the money's going.

Because if you follow the money, you're going to find the corruption.

And we need to do that in Austin and DC.

Doge is a good sounding concept and I support it.

I want to doge Austin too.

But you need the power of the Office of the Attorney General who has power on public corruption to pursue all of this, to expose it.

Because we have got to stop empowering people

to be able to use taxpayer money in their offices, to be able to carry out policies, programs, and all sorts of grift, and do it in a way that is undermining the strength of the state of Texas, not just across the country.
