Wendy Davis’s Experience

• Candidate

  Texas State Senate, District 10

  (Government Administration industry)

  January 2008 — Present (1 year)

  Wendy Davis is everything we need in a state Senator, and nothing that we're used to seeing from Austin. As a Texan, Wendy has seen enough of Austin's failures.
  
  "Our failed leaders in Austin have forgotten that it is us, not special interests, who call them to serve. The people of Tarrant County deserve leadership that is more concerned with people than politics. We need a representative who will work to bring real change to the way Austin does business. In the Texas legislature, I'll do just that." -Wendy Davis
