Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is heading to Texas to campaign with Republican Gov. Rick Perry on Feb. 7.

The Perry campaign issued a statement Wednesday, saying the
former Alaska governor will join Perry at a rally in the Houston area. More details will be released in the coming days.

Perry said he and Palin share "conservative values of limited
government, low taxes and individual freedom." Palin endorsed
Perry in his re-election big last year, and it was expected that
she would campaign with him at some point.

Perry faces U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison and party activist
Debra Medina on March 2 in the Republican primary.
