“Texans Should Have Their Taxes Work for Them!”
Shehla Faizi is running to be a different type of Comptroller – one who answers to the people, not party bosses or big donors.
Donors with business with the Comptroller’s office have already started pouring money into Shehla’s opponents. (Source: https://www.texastribune.org/2025/12/24/texas-comptroller-gop-primary-fundraising-2026/)

The comptroller’s office can and should restore trust and accountability by serving the people, not donors.
Don’t you want to know where your tax money is going?
Issues
The Comptroller’s Office doesn’t make laws, it enforces them – but the choices made about when and how to enforce the laws, and when to publicize issues and when to keep them quiet, have huge impacts on Texans.
Did you know – that the Comptroller’s Office is currently working to deny school voucher money to accredited private schools because of religious bias?
Did you know – the Comptroller’s Office maintains an “Energy Boycott List” to pressure Texas contractors to favor polluters?
Did you know – the state of Texas has invested over $100 million in Israel bonds*, money that should have been invested here in our state?
Did you know – Texas contractors must sign a pledge of loyalty to a foreign country?
Why I’m Running
After seeing both Democrats and Republicans sell out to donors and foreign lobbyists, I’ve had it with politics as usual.
Let’s put Texas first, not big donors, and not foreign countries.
As your comptroller, I will bring transparency and accountability to the Comptroller’s Office, building a better Texas for all.
