As the end of the Twentieth Century came to a close, Texas had transitioned from a dominantly White Democrat governing culture to a strongly multi-ethnic Republican State, though there continued to be many fracture lines in their changing demographics. High industries produced everything from cars to plastics while Texas ports fed and clothed the nation. Texas oil fueled the nation, while it was quickly expanding its position into the renewable energy markets. Farms and ranches still held sway in much of the State economy, and Texas universities were a dominant force in the American educational system. The Lone Star State was one of the most influential, highly populated, and wealthy States in the Union as America entered the new Millennium, and they had every plan to maintain that position as one of their most popular governors in history won election to the Presidency of the United States of America.
