For eight years the Obama Administration has kept a boot on the necks of our energy providers, stifling their ability to grow and innovate. Under Governor Perry’s leadership, Texas showed the country how lower taxes and sensible regulations can boost energy production and create jobs. As a Texan, Governor Perry understands the importance of empowering an all-of-the-above energy strategy that encourages innovation and spurs growth from the ground up. “A good friend, proud veteran, and dedicated public servant, I look forward to supporting Governor Perry’s nomination.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
