Texas Democrat Wendy Davis announces she will run for Congress in 2020, five years after badly losing a run for governor that was propelled by her 13-hour filibuster of an anti-abortion bill in the state Capitol.
Texas Democrat Wendy Davis said Monday she is running for Congress, five years after badly losing a bid for governor that was propelled by her 13-hour filibuster of an anti-abortion bill in the state Capitol.
Before O'Rourke in Texas, there was Davis — a rare Texas Democrat who attracted national attention and donor cash, only to lose her bid for governor to Republican Greg Abbott in 2014. Since that defeat, the GOP's dominance in Texas has weakened, but Republicans quickly attacked her candidacy by reminding how soundly Texas voters rejected her last time.
The National Republican Campaign Committee, the GOP's fundraising arm in Congress, called it"beyond parody that Wendy Davis is attempting to make her political comeback in a district she lost by 20 points last time around."
