The 47th governor of Texas,  Rick Perry is a staunch fiscal and social conservative, and the only governor since World War II to reduce state general revenue spending. Governor Perry has a strong record on job creation.  His support for low taxes, reasonable regulations, a predictable civil litigation system and an educated workforce has produced a business climate consistently ranked among the best in the nation.

Governor Perry has actively encouraged employers to relocate to Texas or expand their operations in the state. Since June 2009, more than 40 percent of the net new jobs created in America have been created in Texas, and today, the Lone Star State is a magnet for corporate relocations. Texas, under his leadership, has been in the spotlight in recent weeks because for nine straight years, Texas has led the nation in exports to foreign countries among the 50 states. More jobs were created in Texas than in all 49 other states combined!

“This event promises to be lively,” said Kevin McLaughlin, Polk County Republican Chairman.  He noted that other U.S. Presidential candidates who just couldn’t get enough of the beautiful Iowa State Fairgrounds’
locale will include announced presidential candidates  U.S. Rep. Ron Paul and U.S. Rep. Thaddeus McCotter.  Former New York Governor George Pataki will also be speaking to the Republicans.

Other local officials at the picnic will include Iowa state senators Jack Whitver and Brad Zaun as well as state representatives Erik Helland, Kevin Koester and Scott Raecker.  Polk County Supervisor E.J. Giovanetti will make brief remarks.
