Statement By Gov. Perry on Texas? 4 New Congressional Seats

Gov. Rick Perry today issued the following statement regarding Texas? gain of four new seats in the U.S. Congress:

?Texas? gain of four new Congressional seats as a result of our state?s booming population is further evidence that Texas remains the best place in the nation to start a business, find a job and raise a family. As our state continues to grow at a rapid rate, we will remain steadfast in our effort to uphold the low taxes, restrained spending, reasonable regulations and fair legal climate that has given Texans the freedom to succeed. I look forward to working with the Legislature in the process of drawing these new seats into our state?s district map and ensuring that Texas remains a leader in job creation and a land of opportunity for those willing to come here and risk their capital.?
