I will commit myself to making this state an even greater place to live, work and raise a family. I intend to reach out from border to border to hear first-hand from our citizens about their thoughts, concerns and ideas for our state. ”

But, I don't want to assume that our tradition of excellence is a guarantee of future excellence. ”

You can expect to find these four priorities - education, economic vitality, efficiency in government and the protection of families - woven into my decisions as Governor. They will serve as my compass as I work with you to chart a future course for our state. ”

Economic growth is the most important initiative every governor faces. ”
