Former Texas governor Rick Perry is running for president, releasing a video focusing on his record and background. The Republican will formally announce the campaign Thursday during an event outside of Dallas.

“2016 will not be an election about lofty rhetoric,” says Perry in the video. “It’s going to be about a record of leadership. It’s going to be a show-me-don’t-tell-me election, where voters will look past what you say to what you’ve done.” Watch the video below:
