Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry is running for president in 2016.

“If we’re going to revive this American Dream again, we need a president who provides leadership that transcends the petty partisanship that we’ve seen in the last few years — someone that’s been tested,” he says in a video posted to rickperry.org that ends with a “Perry for President” logo. “We need a president who tells the American people the truth.”

Mr. Perry, who also ran for president in 2012, was scheduled to hold a formal announcement event later Thursday.
