Michael, Only in America can you start from nowhere and go anywhere. And only in Texas do you have the opportunity to elect Greg Abbott as governor – a leader who understands that for government to be most effective, it must be smaller, less intrusive and less expensive. Today, I am endorsing Greg Abbott for Texas governor – and I hope you will join me by making a contribution to his campaign. I ran for office in California, a state blessed with beauty and an abundance of resources. But California also serves as an example that one of the largest, most vibrant economies can be transformed into a state with sky-high taxes, yawning budget deficits and a deteriorating business climate. California’s economy has been brought to this point by bad policy and liberal politics, and this has real consequences for real people and their families. I raised this issue over a decade ago when I was CEO of Hewlett-Packard and made the decision to move hundreds of manufacturing jobs from California – to Texas. The choice was easy: Texas was a longstanding national leader in job creation and economic strength, while California had been plagued by big government and barriers to growth. When I look at Wendy Davis’ record, I see a liberal politician who embraces this failed California model – who believes that the solution to Texas’ challenges is more government. I was born in Austin and have long admired the free market policies and values that define Texas. I can tell you from experience that Texas’ economic success story is no coincidence – and it’s so important that you act to protect the values that have made your state the beacon of liberty it is today. Will you support Greg Abbott for Texas governor and contribute today? Sincerely, Carly Fiorina Carly Fiorina (born Cara Carleton Sneed; September 6, 1954) is an American former business executive and was the Republican nominee for the United States Senate from California in 2010. Fiorina served as chief executive officer of Hewlett-Packard from 1999 to 2005 and previously was an executive at AT&T and its equipment and technology spinoff, Lucent. Fiorina was considered one of the most powerful women in business during her tenure at Lucent and Hewlett-Packard. While she was chief executive at HP, the company weathered the collapse of the dot-com bubble, although the stock lost half of its value throughout her tenure.[1] In 2002, the company completed a contentious merger with rival computer company Compaq, which made HP the worlds largest personal computer manufacturer.[2] In 2005, Fiorina was forced to resign as chief executive officer and chairman of HP following differences [with the board of directors] about how to execute HPs strategy.[3] In 2008, Fiorina served as an advisor to Republican presidential candidate John McCain. In 2010, Fiorina waged an unsuccessful challenge against incumbent Democrat Barbara Boxer of California in a 2010 Senate election.[4]
