Best Statewide Campaign Races to Watch
Sen. Wendy Davis and Sen. Leticia Van de Putte
It’s tough to remember the last time Texas Democrats and progressives felt this energized and excited about a statewide race. Galvanizing the grassroots with her epic 11-hour filibuster to defeat a draconian abortion bill, Fort Worth state Sen. Wendy Davis catapulted to fame and parlayed the national notoriety into bid for governor against hard-right Attorney General Greg Abbott. Davis unofficially joins forces with fierce state Sen. Leticia Van de Putte, a longtime legislator not afraid to take the gloves off when battling her extremist Tea Party challenger, Sen. Dan Patrick. They've been epic political slugfests so far – and we can't wait to see what happens next. Don't forget to vote!
