GOV. RICK PERRY STATEMENT ON REPUBLICAN GAINS

Governor Rick Perry released the following statement on the strong Republican gains across the country tonight:

"Conservative policies are working in Texas, and tonight's victories will help to ensure that the pro-job economic principles we have enacted will live on and allow our citizens to thrive and prosper well into the future. At the national level, Americans sent a clear message that they want to change the direction of our country. Instead of higher taxes to fuel ever-expanding government programs, they chose fiscal sanity and voted to allow people to keep more of their own hard-earned money. Now it is time to lead and craft common-sense policies that make America energy independent, bring sanity to our tax code, and secure our border once and for all."
