The super PAC supporting former Texas governor Rick Perry has a new web ad focusing on the Republican’s farming roots and showcasing his recent trips to Iowa. “My background is off of a dry-land cotton farm 200 miles west of Fort Worth, Texas,” says Perry in the video. “I understand blue-collar, hard-working people.” The agriculture-heavy state is the site of the first presidential primary election event of the cycle, the Iowa caucuses.
Watch the ad below:
Perry served as governor of Texas for 14 years, leaving the post in early 2015. He is considering a run for president in 2016 after a failed bid in 2012.
