DALLAS (Oct. 28, 2025) – In an op-ed for The Dallas Morning News, NFIB State Director Jeff Burdett urges Texans to vote ‘YES’ on Prop 9 to let Main Streets thrive.

In the op-ed, Burdett outlines how the passage of Prop 9 would enable Main Street Texans to reinvest in their small businesses and workforce, making the Texas economy more competitive. Burdett writes:

If approved by voters this November, it [Prop 9] would save Texas small businesses more than $500 million annually. With those tax savings, small business owners will be better positioned to expand their operations, raise their employees’ wages, and give back to their communities. It will also make Texas more competitive with neighboring states. Now, it’s up to voters to make sure this tax relief becomes a reality and is enshrined in the Texas Constitution.”
