Sources say Davis will run for governor




1. Austin American Statesman, by Chuck Lindell and Jonathon Tilove
2. Category: Politics
3. State level
4. The content of this article concerns Texas citizens with voting rights. Also, the article concerns citizens of the United States because a senate seat will open if Davis does become governor.  

5. All citizens of Texas should be concerned with the candidates for election. Citizens should follow the policies of the individual as well as the party they are backed by.

6. Speculation has begun that Senator Wendy Davis will announce her candidacy for Texas Governor. I hope that Davis does run for governor, if not for the sole reason Rick Perry will be gone. I think Perry is a weasel with negative intentions. I will be honest and admit that I do not know enough about Wendy Davis to vote for her yet. But, at this point I feel just about anyone would positively replace Rick Perry.

However, the facts I do know about Wendy Davis have made me a fan. Wendy Davis fought the abortion law this past summer by attempting to filibuster the debate.
Wendy Davis will hopefully use her momentum from her filibuster attention to use it to successfully change the conservative policies of Texas Government.
By ratio, Texas is a republican state. However, Austin is definitely democratic. Because of this, I feel Austin would highly support Davis’ run for governor. This may be a reason she is speculated to begin her campaign in Austin on Oct 15th.  
I believe speculation regarding her run for governor has emerged because many citizens are excited to have her potentially in office. The more I learn about politics the more anxious I get about who will be on the ballot, and who will win. It is frustrating to see Rick Perry represent myself. I couldn’t disagree with his policies any more than I do. And, I truly hope a woman, such as Davis, steps up and wins.
