Coming back after some major slip ups in 2012, this former Texas governor is running as a 2016 Republican presidential candidate. Perry is focused on boosting our economy and bolstering our nations defense, specifically our boarder defense. Perry boasts of 1.5 million jobs created in Texas since 2007 and says that he wants to bring this growth to the whole country in hopes of strengthening our economy and American families. Perry hopes to defend and protect our country by pouring more money into the already financially saturated U.S. military programs our government promotes. Through the economic expansion Perry hopes to achieve, he also yearns for lower taxes and reducing all of America's debt.[Photo via @michaelvadon]
