This is a selection of recent portraits published in a variety of magazines. The portrait above is for an article in the current Mother Jones about Rick Perry's support for the death penalty in Texas.

In a September debate, Perry famously said that he had lost no sleep over the possibility of an innocent man being executed on his watch."
