Rick Perry, Governor of Texas
Description
Rick Perry was sworn in as the state’s 47th Governor on December 21, 2000. Governor Perry is focused on moving Texas forward by creating greater opportunities for citizens across our state.
Governor Perry has prioritized public and higher education, health care accessibility and affordability, better transportation systems, and economic opportunity for all of Texas. Since 1998, Perry successfully championed new reading and math initiatives, strong student accountability measures, and $9 billion in new funding for Texas public schools, colleges and universities. He worked with Democrats and Republicans to increase health care funding by nearly $6 billion, including the creation of the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Perry also signed measures streamlining and strengthening Medicaid, protecting personal medical records, and improving nursing home and border health care.
A strong fiscal conservative, Governor Perry held the line against new income, sales, property and nursing home taxes; protected the state’s Rainy Day fund; signed a balanced state budget and used his line-item veto authority to trim more than $500 million in new spending from the state budget.
