In the 1990s, I was honored to work with Texas Governor Ann Richards. Ann
was a once-in-a-generation talent -- a tenacious fighter who took on Austin’s
old boys network and won.
And whenever I look at Wendy Davis, I see the same tenacity and strength
of character as I did in Ann.
My name is Ron Kirk, and I’ve been around Texas politics for a while now, serving as Texas Secretary of State, Mayor of Dallas and even in the Obama administration. When Wendy announced her campaign, I knew she’d make a great Governor. She puts Texas families before everything else -- and that’s exactly the person you want in that office.
In order to win in November, Wendy will need her grassroots operations on the ground to run on overdrive. And -- she’s counting on supporters like you to help fund that effort. Can you contribute $5 or more to help?
Wendy knows what it means to struggle against adversity, and she knows how to clean out the cobwebs in Austin. She’s shown that she’s not afraid to take a stand for what’s right, no matter whose feathers she ruffles.
There’s a lot on the line in this year’s elections. And right now, with the polls tightening up, we’ve got a great chance to power Wendy’s campaign to victory.
Chip in $5, $10, even $20 if you can afford it to help Wendy’s campaign sprint through the finish line.
Let’s give Wendy everything we’ve got, because we know she’ll do the same for us as our next Governor.
Sincerely,
Ron Kirk
Mayor of Dallas, 1995-2002
