Introduction The office of the Governor is essential for implementing public policy that will be beneficial for ordinary citizens. It refers to the fact that this high-ranking official has both formal and informal powers that allow him or her to influence legislation concerning significant issues. As for Texas, they are immigrants from Mexico, the state of roads and highways, death penalty application, and k-12 education. Particular reasons explain why each of these issues is of crucial significance for Texas citizens. That is why it is necessary to overview the formal and informal powers of the Governor of Texas to see how this elected official can affect public policy. Furthermore, an appropriate set of powers can be used to address each of the issues above. Effective Campaign Issues I have been elected the Governor of Texas because I have managed to address four significant issues.

The chosen problems have determined my campaign strategy and specific groups of voters who have voted for my candidacy. According to Newell et al. (2016), the promises to solve crucial issues are characteristic features of the Savior. As a result, a perspective of a better future for all Texas citizens makes various people support this campaign irrespective of their political beliefs, economic abilities, genders, and ages. Summary of Formal and Informal Powers As has been mentioned, the Governor of Texas has both formal and informal powers.

It results in an active political competition since the Governor’s opponents cannot just wait until the end of his or her office. Cooper, Knotts, and Ragusa (2016) state that the Governor also holds a significant power of appointing numerous official
