Citizens for a Greater America was started by Mike Toomey, Perry’s former chief of staff and now a lobbyist for Merck, a global health care company. He has been describedby the director of Back to Basics, a Texas-based liberal PAC, as cozy with big business and “Perry’s best friend.”
According to an article iniWatch news, a Perry fundraiser said he received a fact sheet about Citizens for a Greater America when he asked Toomey whether Perry’sSuper PAC,Make Us Great Again, “had a 501(c)(4) arm for people who wanted to remain anonymous.”
