It’s getting hard to keep track of all the unlimited money groups forming to support various presidential candidates. Rick Perry already has multiple competing ones. Now Michele Bachmann is getting a second one.
The group, Citizens for a Working America, will be chaired by Ken Blackwell, who held office as Ohio’s Secretary of State and ran an unsuccessful campaign for governor. Bachmann adviser Ed Brookover will also be on board, according to The Fix, who first broke the news.
CWA joins another recently formed pro-Bachmann group, Keep Conservatives United, that’s already announced plans to take on Perry directly.
Bachmann is one of three candidates with Super PAC support. In addition to Perry’s trio, Romney supporters have already raised over $12 million through Restore Our Future.
