Lucas,
YES! It's the moment we've all been waiting for -- Wendy is in! And you better believe we are too.
Which is why I am over-the-top thrilled to announce this: EMILY's List is proud to endorse Wendy Davis for governor of Texas.
When I first met Wendy, one thing was clear: no matter what, she's got grit. She is fearless. Most of all, she puts her shoulder to the wheel and never stops. This is exactly the type of woman, type of Texan, we need to not only run -- but win. Wendy has proven she won't back down from a fight and after her epic 13-hour filibuster, we know she'll literally put her body on the line to protect us from the GOP's War on Women. Wendy won't give up, and EMILY's List is proud to stand with her.
Wendy is in! EMILY's List is in! Are you? Donate now for 100% of your donation to go to Wendy's campaign.
At just 19 years old, Wendy was a single mother putting herself through community college and working two jobs just to make ends meet. And she just kept going, all the way to Harvard Law, then Fort Worth City Council, and to the state Senate -- now with your help she'll go all the way to the governor's mansion.
Wendy's experience is exactly why she is the right choice for Texas women and families. She stood up to Gov. Rick Perry when he wanted to slash millions of dollars from education. She's been an unwavering advocate for veterans, sexual assault survivors, and voting rights. And of course, Wendy is leading the fight for women's health in Texas.
It's tough being a Democrat in a red state, but Wendy has shown that no fight is too small -- and just like all those times before, she's never stopped fighting. It's been nearly 20 years since Ann Richards led the Democratic charge in Texas. Right now it's time we help Wendy continue her legacy.
So, are you in? We need the full weight of the EMILY's List community behind Wendy every step of the way. Donate right now to Wendy's campaign.
After all Wendy has done for women, it's time to go all-in for her.
As always, thank you.
Stephanie
