WASHINGTON—The governors of Texas, Georgia, and South Dakota rank highest in the nation based on economic policy performance and management of the COVID-19 health crisis, according to a new study.
A scorecard by the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a conservative, nonprofit organization, evaluated the 50 governors using various performance indicators, including tax and spending policy, use of federal funding from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, education spending, welfare policy, and labor regulations.
