Super PACs Go Big for 2012
- Make Us Great Again PAC, supporting Texas Gov. Rick Perry, was founded by Perry’s former chief of staff Mike Toomey. The group plans to spend $55 million.
- Restore Our Future, a super PAC backing former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, raised $20 million from January through June. Charles Spies, the group’s treasurer, was general counsel for Romney during his 2008 White House run.
- Keeping Conservatives United, which supports Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., is already spending money on television advertising.
