Janet Dudding - Ballotpedia

Janet lost the 2022 race for the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts.

Asked about property taxes and housing affordability, Dudding responded: “Expand TX-HEROs pool. Fix the holes in the assessment processes. Re-examine public school taxes while ensuring public taxes go to ‘public.’ Release county indigent care property tax set-aside by expanding Medicaid (after all, we are not getting an IRS discount on our federal taxes).”

Dudding’s campaign announcement lists this item as part of her affordability agenda: “Expanding broadband through public and cooperative partnerships so that municipalities can provide broadband utilities at an affordable price. We’ve got tax-payer funded broadband capacity right here in the Brazos Valley that we cannot access due to a state law currently on the books. Let’s fix it.”

Public Safety

Dudding writes: “Women’s health care shouldn’t depend on where you live or whether you can afford the cost of delay. When basic care like time-sensitive procedures and reliable coverage are taken away, people don’t just suffer—they risk their health and even their lives.”

Healthcare

Asked about her priorities for Texas education, Dudding responded: “Our taxes are just that—ours. Public taxes go to ‘public.’ Texas has more resources than most states, let’s build state of the art. While we’re at it, let’s decriminalize and regulate adult-use THC to fund ISD employee’s social security AND TRS. Higher education academic freedom without political interference.”

Dudding’s campaign announcement says she is committed to stopping Governor Abbott’s voucher proposal. It then quotes her: “Public money belongs in public schools,” she said. “Our governor pocketed a $6 million out of state donation to his campaign to ram vouchers through and give billions of our tax dollars to out of state companies. Stripping money from our public schools – not in our best interests. I’ll stand up for this community’s families, teachers, and students.”

Dudding writes that fine arts education is essential in public schools and concludes: “When we fund fine arts, we strengthen classrooms, support students who may otherwise go unheard, and build communities that take pride in achievement. I will work to protect and expand fine arts education so every student has the opportunity to create, perform, and excel.”

Dudding’s campaign announcement lists this item as part of her affordability agenda: “Protecting teacher retirement, while adding public school employees to social security in addition to TRS – just like the TRS members at A&M.”

Education

Dudding writes: “Texas has 2 water crises. We're running out of potable (drinking) water and we've got way too much ‘produced’ water. We need to require industry, like data centers, to recycle produced water for their cooling needs. From the testimony given this summer to the Natural Resources Committee, this is within their reach.”

Dudding’s campaign announcement lists this item as part of her affordability agenda: “Guarding our water. For the past 100 years, oil & gas’s the engine that runs our economy here in Texas, but you can’t drink oil – as we are finding out all over Texas. From produced water to data centers, we need guardrails in place before state politicians squander what we need to live – in exchange for their campaign war-chest.”

Calls for water-protection guardrails, including requiring data centers to recycle produced water for cooling.

##### ECONOMY

What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?

I support repealing all taxes that are not voluntary transactions (such as sales taxes), and until that can be done I'd support moving to a flat tax or "fair tax" as a compromise improvement on what we have now. Property taxes and estate taxes should also be repealed, as double and triple taxation is unconstitutional.

What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?

All government spending should be reduced, and laws and regulations which create the "need" for such spending repealed.

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Strongly Disagree

Fiscal Responsibility and Inflation

The rising cost of living is a direct result of fiscal irresponsibility by our lawmakers. I will fight against reckless spending, stop money printing that devalues our currency, and promote policies that ensure long-term economic solvency.

In a recent interview, Miller was asked about his stance on housing regulations in Texas. He stated, "I believe in reducing government intervention in the housing market. We need to allow the free market to dictate prices and availability. Overregulation has led to higher costs for consumers."

Strongly Disagree

Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.

Miller also addressed public safety, saying, "I support measures that protect our communities while respecting individual rights. We need to focus on community policing and building trust between law enforcement and the public."

Immigration Reform

We need to streamline the legal immigration process, making it faster and more efficient for people who want to contribute to our economy. I also advocate for ending drug prohibition, which fuels cartel violence and dangerous border crossings, ensuring safer, orderly immigration.

Opposes qualified immunity for police officers acting consistently with departmental policy while on duty.

Prefers private community programs where possible and local decisions about spending on community programs rather than state direction.

A

I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.

Strongly Agree

I support the freedom for private entities to use whatever methods they choose on their own land.

“As someone raised in Bryan-College Station, I was immersed in the unique values and spirit of this community. That is why my wife and we jumped at the opportunity to move back in 2014 and raise our family. From my early days here to my time at Texas A&M, and now as an attorney and business leader, I’ve seen the challenges and triumphs that define us. Texas serves as a global beacon of freedom, family, and opportunity. These enduring principles inspire me to announce my candidacy for the Texas House of Representatives, District 14, as a proud Republican. I am committed to upholding the conservative values that have made Texas and this district prosperous and strong. I want to express my heartfelt thanks to Representative John Raney and his family for their years of dedicated service to our community; John has been a true servant leader for our community.”
