AUSTIN – Gov. Rick Perry today received general election endorsement of PharmPAC, the political action committee of the Texas Pharmacy Association, for re-election in 2010.

“During my more than 30 years of experience in the health care field, I have witnessed the impressive public policy leadership of Rick Perry for 25 of those years,” said Joe A. DaSilva, CAE, FACHE, TPA’s new executive director and CEO. “The Texas Pharmacy Association PAC is proud to endorse Gov.

“The pharmacists and technicians of our great state play a vital role in improving the quality of life for Texans," said Gov.
