Rick Perry is running for President. He has a background in politics, serving as governor of Texas for over 10 years. He believes in conservative values like border security, reducing the national debt, and repealing Obamacare. However, critics argue his policies as governor did not always achieve the job creation he promised and that he can be too rigid in his views.
