WHO IS WATCHING OUR MONEY? Kelly Hancock talks about TEXAS OVERSIGHT, WELFARE FRAUD & DEI

Описание: In this episode of Politics with the Big Dogs, Anthony sits down with Kelly Hancock, the acting Texas comptroller, longtime state senator and Republican primary candidate for one of the most powerful — and least understood — offices in state government.

Hancock explains what the comptroller actually does, how the office oversees trillions in taxpayer dollars and why financial accountability is inseparable from good governance. He also walks through his legislative record, what worked, what didn’t and what he’s learned during his first months overseeing the state’s books.

The conversation also dives into federal welfare fraud, oversight failures in other states and why Texas voters should care about who controls audits, revenue projections and financial enforcement.

This episode is about money, accountability, trust... and why the comptroller’s office matters more than most Texans realize before they vote.
