FORT WORTH -- Wendy Davis a former Fort Worth state senator and last years unsuccessful Democratic gubernatorial candidate hopes to serve in public office again some day.
But she doesnt know when, where or for what office.
I do hope to run again, she recently told the Rolling Stone magazine, for an article entitled Wendy Davis on Running for Office Again, Life After Defeat. I have no particular path in mind at this point.
I am simply keeping myself open for opportunities that make sense.

(4,234 posts)The touch screens should never be used, and the opti-scans should be audited in EVERY ELECTION. And if the audit shows that the reported results are not in line with the randomly selected 5-10% of the vote, that is, if the probability of the deviation is less than 5% or 10% the VOTE SHOULD BE COMPLETELY RECOUNTED.
Texas is one of the worst states in the country in terms of the reliability of the machines and the trustworthiness of the results, not to mention the huge voter suppression that takes place there. Wendy might do better to crusade for free and fair elections in which ALL ELIGIBLE VOTERS SHOULD BE ALLOWED AND ENCOURAGED TO VOTE. If the vote were counted fairly in TX and the voter suppression did not exist, she would likely have won her last race for governor and TX would easily be a blue state for the foreseeable future. That's why the Repubs have made TX one of the worst states in the country for free and fair elections of course.
