Texas Governor Rick Perry has announced that he will seek an unprecedented third term for Governor.

After beginning his political career as Agricultural Commissioner, then Lt. Governor and took over as Governor when George W. Bush won the Presidency.

Texas has really thrived and held steady under Perry’s reign. For the most part he keeps a low profile and works hard for the betterment of Texas. There are some issues we would like to see him do better on like environmental but all in all, he’s given us nothing to be ashamed of.

The Texas unemployment rate is among the lowest in the country. Our industries are diversified, we have stable government leaders at the helm and we thankfully aren’t going through much of what the rest of the country is going through.
