Wendy Davis Gets Fundraising Boost from Elizabeth Warren

[okaawhatever]

A little more than two months into her campaign for Texas governor, state Sen. Wendy Davis (D) is getting a helping hand from one of her party's most prominent forces in the U.S. Senate.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) sent out a fundraising email in support of Davis Saturday morning, praising Davis as someone who is "not afraid of a tough fight."

"The GOP knows that Wendy Davis is special, and they are scared that her victory in 2014 could turn the tide against Republican victories in Texas," Warren wrote.

A Nov. 4 University of Texas/Texas Tribune poll had Davis trailing Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott (R) by six points. Democrats have not won more than 42 percent of the vote in the last three elections, and the party's last governor from Texas was Ann Richards (1991-95).

3. Go Wendy Davis

Wendy will need to raise a significant amount to compete. Wendy's opponent is a jerk who has raised $20 million already

Texas really needs a good redirection politically!
