How does the governor use informal powers to demonstrate to the public the strength of the governor’s role?

What is the most direct legislative tool used by the governor since he does not have lawmaking authority? How did Governor Perry’s long tenure allow him to “control” the judicial branch of the state government? Chapter 5: Campaigns and Elections Questions How has the rise of social media changed the relationship between candidates and voters? Research the recently passed Voter I.D. law in Texas.
