Wichita ? Texas Gov. Rick Perry is scheduled to be in Wichita next week to raise money for Gov. Sam Brownback’s re-election campaign.

The Wichita Eagle reports Perry is to attend a reception Sept. 24 at a bank office that formerly housed the Carnegie Library. An invitation on Brownback’s campaign website requests donations of $500 to $4,000 for Brownback and his running mate, Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer.

The two Republican governors have had a close relationship for years.

Both are former state agriculture secretaries, and Brownback endorsed Perry’s 2012 campaign for the GOP nomination for president. Brownback also attended a Houston prayer rally hosted by Perry in August 2011.
