A Strong State Needs A Strong Voice...YOURS!

Every day, through laws, regulations, and court rulings, our state and federal elected officials make decisions impacting Texas companies and their ability to survive and compete in the global marketplace.

This directly impacts you -- your job, your wages, your family -- and your future.

The Texas State Legislature is now in session. This year thousands of bills will be filed for our Legislators' consideration.  In Washington DC, Congress faces hundreds more.

How will your Legislators vote on issues that will grow Texas and our nation?

It's About Jobs!

The nonpartisan Prosperity Project is supported by Texas businesses, local chambers of commerce and business associations working to make Texas the state of choice for jobs and business.  Learn more.

When Texans are informed, we support actions that improve our economy and foster new opportunities.  Use this site to stay informed on the jobs issues that concern you most.  As Congress and our State Legislature take action in the coming weeks and months, we'll tell you how they're doing – and how you can express your views.
