Aide Says Perry Will Run Again

Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s (R) top legislative aide said that his boss had told him he had decided to run for re-election in 2014 — “a definitive statement that seemed to put to rest speculation over the longest-serving Texas chief executive’s future candidacy,” the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

But a spokeswoman for Perry quickly rebuffed the statement from her colleague, saying, “The only person to make that announcement is Governor Perry.”
