Rick Perry Supporters Form Opportunity and Freedom PAC

[TexasTowelie]

Allies of former Gov. Rick Perry on Thursday rolled out a super PAC that can raise unlimited amounts of money to boost the likely 2016 presidential candidate.

The Opportunity and Freedom PAC will "educate voters on Perry’s record as Governor of Texas and promote his vision for the future of America," supporters said in a news release. The PAC also unveiled a Web video touting Perry's rise to the governor's office, starting with his small-town childhood in Paint Creek, Texas.

Mississippi-based Republican operative Austin Barbour is leading the effort as a senior adviser to the super PAC. He is the brother of Henry Barbour, a longtime friend of Perry's and informal adviser over the years. Their uncle is former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour.

Also on board as a senior adviser is Tony Russo, a strategist who is close to Perry confidante Jeff Miller. Two former chiefs of staff to Perry — Ray Sullivan and Mike Toomey — are serving as co-chairmen of the super PAC.
