Davis Readies Announcement for Texas Governor

After weeks of pondering which office to seek, Texas state Sen. Wendy Davis (D) will announce on Oct. 3 whether she’s running for governor, the Fort Worth Star Telegram reports.

Austin American Statesman: “Right now, it looks more than likely that Sen. Leticia Van de Putte (D) will join a Davis ticket as a candidate for lieutenant governor. Beyond that it is not at all clear what if any Democrats might fill out a statewide ticket. Democrats last won statewide office in in Texas in 2004.”
