Congratulations! You have recently been elected the Governor of Texas. You built your successful campaign around promises to address four issues that are significant to the voters of Texas: controlling immigration from Mexico, limiting the power of the national government, making sure the death penalty is applied fairly and improving k-12 education. Please discuss each of these issues and focus on the following:

· Why these issues likely helped get you elected Governor (Campaign Strategy from Unit 2, Slide 24)?

· Discuss the formal and informal powers of the Governor Texas? (Unit 6, Written lecture slides 5-9)

· What is at least one formal power (do not use the same formal power all of the issues) that you can use to get each policy passed by the legislature? (Unit 6, Written Lecture Slides 5-7)

· What is at least one informal power (do not use the same informal power for each of the issues) that you can use to get each policy passed by the legislature? (Unit 6, Written Lecture Slides 8-9)
