Hutchison campaign response:
“Once again, Rick Perry is changing his mind in an election-year and launching attack ads against Kay Bailey Hutchison despite having praised her as a ‘true champion for Texas.’ However, no amount of negative ads will cover-up Perry’s record of cronyism in office that led to proposing the Trans-Texas Corridor and mandating the HPV vaccine for sixth-grade girls,” said Joe Pounder, Texans for Kay spokesman.
