Rick Perry to replace Donald Trump at New York dinner

“The feeling of excitement that Governor Perry will join us at the dinner and address the attendees is palpable,” said Manhattan County GOP chairman Dan Isaacs in a statement. “Governor Perry is the perfect example that we in New York should be looking to. At a time when New York ranks at or near the bottom among states in every important metric, Texas is leading the way. By focusing on keeping taxes low and fostering a fair legal and regulatory environment, Governor Perry has helped Texas attract business and residents at a time when New York has been hemorrhaging both. As a result, Texas will gain four seats during next year’s congressional reapportionment, when New York will lose two.”
