Congressman John Culberson is proud to represent the great city of Houston and is working hard to ensure that it remains one of the strongest and most business-friendly cities in America. Since 2000, Houston’s population has grown 15% and our total employment has grown 13%, which is second only to Phoenix. No longer just the energy capital of the world, Houston is now home to 25 Fortune 500 companies, which is second only to New York, and burgeoning technology, aerospace and medical industries.

Houston added over 100,000 jobs in the last year. Businesses small and large were attracted by Houston’s low taxes, limited regulation, and cheap and plentiful land. People are drawn to our good schools, affordable housing, and the overall quality of life that can’t be matched anywhere else in America.

Congressman Culberson strongly opposed the new budget passed by the liberal majority in Congress, which includes the largest tax increase in American history. Here’s how it affects District 7: Raises taxes by more than $3,000 per person; eliminates 2,735 jobs; and costs our local economy $532 million.

We must continue fighting for lower taxes and less regulation on businesses from federal, state, and local government to ensure that Houston remains in economically-vibrant, attractive, and affordable city.
