Acting Comptroller Kelly Hancock will resign from his post as Texas’ chief financial officer at the end of July, according to a resignation letter he submitted to Gov. Greg Abbott.
Leadership and Legacy
Hancock oversaw the beginning of the state’s $1 billion program to offer parents vouchers to send their kids to private schools, one of the agency’s biggest and newest responsibilities. Gov. Abbott praised Hancock’s leadership, saying it helped make possible the launch of the largest school choice program in the nation’s history, expanding educational opportunity for Texas families.
