Rick Perry will visit West Virginia later this month to raise money with Midwestern coal baron Bob Murray, according to a fundraising invitation obtained by POLITICO.
Murray, a prominent mining executive who heads the Ohio-based Murray Energy Corporation, will host Perry at Wheeling’s White Palace Ballroom on September 29. In a letter to potential donors, Murray asks for contributions of $2,500 per individual and $5,000 per couple.
