Lucas,
They say everything is bigger in Texas. As far as elections go, that couldn't be truer. The Lone Star State hasn't elected a Democrat to statewide office since 1994, but EMILY's List has just the woman to turn that statistic on its head -- Wendy Davis. Remember her 13-hour filibuster against sweeping anti-choice legislation? Yeah, that Wendy Davis. I don't know about you, but I'm pumped that women like her are running, and I can't wait to watch her primary results roll in tonight!
You know as well as I do that Wendy is a serious trailblazer. Working as a teenager to help her single mom support three siblings? A divorced and single Mom herself working two jobs while attending community college and Texas Christian University? That takes guts. That's why I'm proud EMILY's List is standing with Wendy and so many candidates like her.
Thanks for all that you do,
Jonathan Parker
Director of Campaigns, EMILY's List
