"Politics: Agency Chiefs Tiptoe Around Ethics Laws On Campaign Trail"

"When former Texas Gov. Rick Perry took the stage to campaign for Republican Sen. Ted Cruz in Texas earlier this month, he did so walking a fine ethical line.

Perry, now head of the Energy Department, rallied a crowd Oct. 20 in Houston for Cruz by blasting Democratic Rep. Beto O'Rourke and warning that a Democratic win could wind back the clock on burgeoning exports of domestic liquefied natural gas — a hot selling point in energy-rich Texas.

DOE said Perry's spirited appearance was off the clock and in his personal capacity. And the Republican didn't use his formal title of DOE secretary during the event."
