Wendy Davis: 'I Will Run For One Of Two Offices'
WASHINGTON -- Texas state Sen. Wendy Davis (D) sounded a lot like a gubernatorial candidate in her speech at the National Press Club on Monday, touting her ability to reach across the aisle and discussing everything from education policy to women's rights to the infrastructure and economy of Texas.
But she stopped short of announcing her candidacy for governor, saying only that she is "working very hard to decide" which office she will run for in 2014.
"I do think that in Texas, people feel like we need a change from the very fractured, very partisan leadership that we've seen in our state governor right now," Davis said at the fundraiser luncheon. "I can say with absolute certainty that I will run for one of two offices -- either my state senate seat, or the governor's."
