Speaker Joe Straus

Joe Straus is a State Representative from San Antonio who has also been elected by his colleagues to serve as Speaker of the Texas House. He was first elected Speaker in 2009 and his colleagues have since re-elected him three times by overwhelming margins. 

Under the leadership of Speaker Straus, the House has helped the Texas private sector build the strongest economy in the country. He and his colleagues have worked to improve college and career readiness in public schools, to relieve traffic congestion throughout the state, and to make state government more efficient and transparent. Speaker Straus also led the successful push in 2013 to address the state’s growing water crisis. Under his leadership, the House has repeatedly balanced the state budget without higher taxes while prioritizing education, public safety and infrastructure. 

Speaker Straus encourages his colleagues to build consensus around innovative solutions to the state’s most serious challenges. He believes Texans want government to be limited, but that they also want it to work efficiently and to address the state’s challenges in an effective way.

Speaker Straus is a fifth-generation Texan, a San Antonio native and small businessman. He and his wife, Julie, have two daughters.
