Biography

Don Huffines is a proud fifth-generation Texan, a husband, father of five, grandfather of ten, and a successful self-made businessman. He co-founded Huffines Communities, a Dallas–Fort Worth real estate development firm that has helped thousands of families achieve the American Dream in North Texas.

A strong Christian and lifelong conservative, Don served in the Texas Senate representing Dallas County’s District 16, where he quickly became one of the state’s most conservative lawmakers. The only legislator in Texas history to refuse a salary, pension, or perks — even paying for his own office furniture — Don fought fearlessly for taxpayers. He uncovered the largest government corruption scandal in modern Texas history, shutting down the agency overnight, sending six officials to prison, and saving Texans tens of millions of dollars.

Now, Don is running for Texas Comptroller to bring President Trump’s bold leadership and sense of urgency to Austin. As Comptroller, he will DOGE Texas: audit government, expose fraud and waste, and fight to return the savings to taxpayers through real property tax relief.
