Texas Candidates Mike Collier, State Comptroller & Sam Houston, Attorney General
Today it is my honor to present two of the most important Texas statewide candidates.
Democratic Candidate for Texas State Controller
Mike Collier says he is a “cop on the beat” who built a reputation for rigorous financial analysis, independent decision-making, and a commitment to telling the truth, no matter what. Is that’s what Texas needs right now.
Mike Collier started his career at Exxon, but soon found his way to PriceWaterhouseCoopers – one of the biggest accounting firms in the world, with tens of thousands of employees. He served in the audit practice for 10 years, eventually becoming a top aide to the PwC World Chairman. Finally, he served in Houston as a Partner for ten years, leading a team of two dozen professionals providing due diligence, structuring, and valuation services to some of PwC’s largest and most sophisticated energy clients. Then, Mike helped build a successful Texas oil company, serving as its CFO.
Mike is a graduate of Georgetown High School in Williamson County and the University of Texas, where he received his undergraduate degree and MBA, and played the trumpet in the Longhorn Band. Mike and Suzanne live in the Houston area, and their two sons attend UT in Austin.
Democratic Candidate for Texas Attorney General
Sam Houston is running for Texas Attorney General. Sam Houston says that as our Attorney General, we can count on him to aggressively defend the rights of all Texans. Sam says he will bring the values he learned as a young man to work every day and will protect the legal rights of Texas businesses and citizens alike.
Sam Houston attended the University of Texas at Austin and Baylor Law School. He began his legal career at Andrews and Kurth in Houston and now works as a partner at Shepherd, Scott, Clawater & Houston, LLP. He is a successful, practicing attorney for 26 years. Sam lives in Houston with his wife Jantha and their two children.
Both of these candidates have been endorsed by the Austin Americans Statesman.
