Texas Aggregates and Concrete Association Endorses Gov. Perry for Re-election

AUSTIN – The Texas Aggregates and Concrete Association (TACA) today announced the endorsement of its board of directors for Gov. Perry’s re-election campaign.

“On behalf of the more than 120,000 men and women who work in the aggregates, cement, and concrete industries in Texas, we proudly endorse Gov. Perry for re-election,” said Victor Lattimore, TACA Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman. “Gov. Perry’s pro-growth vision of creating jobs is what Texas needs to continue sustaining our economic growth and provide our industry the materials needed to build roads, bridges, homes and schools. We know something about building on a good foundation, and we believe Gov. Perry is the right leader to build a brighter future for the people of Texas.”

TACA is a statewide trade organization representing more than 350 member companies and 120,000 employees. TACA companies are responsible for approximately 85 percent of the aggregate mined and concrete produced in Texas each year, and 100 percent of the cement produced and sold in the state.

“Thanks to the members and stakeholders of the Texas Aggregates and Concrete Association, Texas has established a strong foundation that allows us to face the challenges during these economic times,” said Gov. Perry. “Through their efforts, these men and women have become a vital component in developing and maintaining Texas’ growing infrastructure. I am proud to receive TACA’s support and I will continue to ensure their industry is upheld so that they have the tools they need to continue to build the infrastructure that will sustain our growing population.”
