Wendy Davis is a former Texas Senator who has been called “courageous” and “articulate and gutsy” by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. After serving on the Fort Worth City Council for nine years, Davis defied the odds and unseated a longtime incumbent to win election to the Texas Senate in 2008. In 2013, Davis held a thirteen-hour-long filibuster to block Senate Bill 15, a measure which included more-restrictive abortion restrictions for Texas.
