Perry Must Find Campaign Funds Beyond Texas Donor Pool

Governor Rick Perry has shown himself as a master of Texas-style campaign fundraising, collecting more than $100 million during his decade as the state’s chief executive, mostly from the deep pockets of rich Texans and corporations.

Now that he is running for president, Perry will need to find a way to raise that kind of money $2,500 at a time as federal law, unlike Texas, limits how much an individual can give to a presidential campaign and bans corporate donations.
