Super PAC - Page 4

Hollywood executives are opening their checkbooks–and new Super PACs–for Hillary Clinton as she makes a second run at the presidency. Ted Johnson and James Rainey report for Variety that Hollywood is far more unified behind Clinton than they were in 2008, when Barack Obama successfully split the liberal donor base. This time, heavyweights such as Jeffrey Katzenberg are joining Clinton loyalists like Haim Saban to provide the big money to fuel her 2016 campaign.

Supporters of former Governor Rick Perry (R-Texas) announced on Thursday the formation of a new Super PAC, the Opportunity and Freedom PAC. The PAC was described in a press release from the group as “a super PAC which will educate voters on Perry’s record as Governor of Texas and promote his vision for the future of America.” Perry has not yet officially declared that he is running for president, but is widely assumed to be preparing for a second attempt at the White House.
