He’s not the former governor, but Rick Perry is running for Texas governor.
Rick Lynn Perry, a computer engineer from Springtown, filed for a spot on the Republican primary ballot Monday, according to the Republican Party of Texas.
It was not immediately clear whether Perry has any political experience. KXAN reached out to a local attorney who bills himself as Perry’s campaign treasurer on Twitter but did not hear back right away.
If accepted by the Texas Secretary of State, Perry’s name will appear alongside those of incumbent Gov. Greg Abbott, and his two biggest opponents: former state senator Don Huffines, and former Texas Republican Party chair Allen West.
The Texas Tribune reports that Perry's campaign treasurer, Tony McDonald, an Austin lawyer, is a known supporter of Don Huffines, which raises the question of Perry's motive for running against Abbott.
