Top Texas Democratic candidates address disabled voters; Republicans are no-shows:
Democrats Wendy Davis and Leticia Van de Putte vowed Wednesday to defend the rights of disabled Texans if elected to the states top offices by increasing funding for disabled care, accepting Medicaid expansion and raising wages for caregivers who serve them.
Davis, running for governor, and Van de Putte, running for lieutenant governor, criticized their Republican opponents for not attending the Texas Disabilities Issues Forum hosted {by the Coalition of Texans with Disabilities, ADAPT of Texas, the Disability Voting Action Project (DVAP), the Arc of Texas, and Texas Parent to Parent} in downtown Austin, where a crowd of about 300 came to hear the candidates speak. Sam Houston, the Democratic candidate for attorney general, also spoke.
