The 2016 presidential campaign of Rick Perry, the 47th Governor of Texas, was officially launched on June 4, 2015. This campaign constituted Perry's second consecutive bid for the Republican nomination for President of the United States.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rick Perry (@GovernorPerry) )〕 Perry announced on September 11, 2015 that he had suspended his campaign.〔http://www.texastribune.org/2015/09/11/rick-perry-drops-out-presidential-race/〕 ==Background== Perry was elected Lieutenant Governor of Texas in 1998, and assumed the Governorship in 2000 after George W. Bush resigned to become President himself. Perry was subsequently elected to three full terms in 2002, 2006 and 2010 and is the fourth Texas governor to serve three terms. Having served the remaining two years of Bush's second term, along with three terms outright, Perry is the longest-served governor in Texas history and left office on his own accord in 2015 with former Texas Attorney-General Greg Abbott succeeding him. In 2012, Perry sought the Republican nomination, but after poor results in Iowa and New Hampshire, and after having made several gaffes which hurt his candidacy, he withdrew on January 19, 2012 prior to the South Carolina primaries. Perry had hinted of another presidential campaign as early as early 2014 when he announced that he would not seek re-election for a record fourth term as Texas Governor. He had also prepared extensively for a presidential campaign, holding a number of policy sessions and briefings with think-tanks including the Heritage Foundation, the American Enterprise Institute and others across the political spectrum. Perry had also held policy briefings with former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger as well prior to his announcement. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rick Perry presidential campaign, 2016」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
