DALLAS (AP) — Gov. Rick Perry says the elections of Republican governors in New Jersey and Virginia this week signal a dissatisfaction with policies in Washington.

Speaking at a Texas Economic Development Summit in Dallas on Wednesday, Perry said Americans were concerned about spending practices in Washington.

Perry said, "Obviously, Americans in those two states, and I think there's some reflection all across the country, of concern about Washington, D.C., that is spending money seemingly hand over fist; turning the printing presses on with abandon."

Perry, who is fighting a Republican primary re-election challenge from U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, says the majority of Texans feel the same way.
