Shami, 66, who made a fortune through hair-care products, said he will put $10 million of his own money into the campaign and raise another $10 million. He will make his formal announcement today at his Chi USA headquarters in Houston.
He said he is running for governor as someone who has lived the American dream, a successful businessman who wants to stimulate the economy by creating tens of thousands of jobs in the solar energy business in Texas.
