Most UT, A&M regents contribute to Rick Perry’s presidential campaign
Regents appointed by Gov. Rick Perry to oversee Texas’ two flagship universities have been substantial donors to his gubernatorial reelection efforts. True to form now, many of those regents from the University of Texas and Texas A&M have quickly contributed to Perry’s presidential campaign too.

As a report by Texans for Public Justice showed, regents at A&M and UT have been among the most generous donors to Perry’s campaigns over the last decade. Regents from A&M donated a total of $2,036,290 and averaged $113,127 per regent, and regents from UT contributed a total of $1,669,263, averaging $83,463 per regent.

An examination of Federal Election Commission campaign finance records shows that twelve of the eighteen regents between the two universities have already given to Perry’s latest campaign. On each board, six out of nine regents from both A&M and UT have given.
