Rick Perry forms federal PAC, another sign of a presidential run

Gov. Rick Perry, frequent guest on the Sunday television talk shows and frequent flier to Iowa, has not been coy about his interest in running for president again. Now comes RickPAC, a federal political action committee that will enable him to help elect Republican candidates across the country this fall.

“RickPAC will help support Republican candidates who share the governor’s priorities, such as fiscal responsibility, low taxes, border security and job creation,” said Mark Miner, a long-time Perry hand who is acting as spokesman for the political action committee, which filed its paperwork with the Federal Election Commission in Washington on July 31.
