FILE - In this Aug. 7, 2015, file photo, former Republican presidential candidate and former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, waves to the crowd as he steps to the podium to speak at the RedState Gathering in Atlanta. Perry has joined the board of a stem cell firm where he underwent experimental back surgery before running for president in 2011, a procedure that didn't calm the chronic pain that the Republican later blamed for his "oops moment" and other infamous gaffes that sunk his once-promising campaign.
