Thirteen of the top 14 best states for business and economic competitiveness are led by Republican governors, according to the 2013 edition of an annual study by CNBC.

Topping the rankings is South Dakota, which received the best score for any state since the study began in 2007. CNBC credits South Dakota’s incredible score to tax cuts enacted after the 2010 Republican sweep of statehouses put Dennis Daugaard in the governor’s residence in Pierre.

Texas, under Gov. Rick Perry, ranked second for business and economic competitiveness. Perry, who took office in 2000 and is the longest-sitting governor in the history of the Lone Star State, announced this week that he will not seek reelection when his current term ends next year.
