Received this e-mail today from Senator Kristen Gillibrand (D. NY) in support of State Senator Wendy Davis' (D. TX) gubernatorial bid:
Eight points. That’s all that separates the fearless, formidable Wendy Davis and Republican Greg Abbott in the latest poll. This race is absolutely winnable.
And we have to win it – because in states like Texas, the stakes for women are very high. Like his predecessor, Governor Rick Perry, Abbott not only opposes a woman’s right to choose without exceptions for rape and incest, he opposes expanding Medicaid to low-income women and children.
As state senator Wendy tirelessly fought dangerous anti-choice legislation, drastic education cuts and bills restricting voting rights. You can believe she’ll bring the fight to Greg Abbott on behalf of women, but she’ll need our unwavering support to fight back against the dirty, underhanded GOP attacks already flying. Will you join me in backing Wendy Davis today?

Last summer an Austin Chronicle headline proclaimed, “If you liked Rick Perry, you’ll love Greg Abbott.” I think we can all agree one Rick Perry is more than enough – especially for Texas women.
Over the past two years, 76 women's health centers have been forced to close their doors, preventing more than 130,000 Texas women from receiving the care they need – including lifesaving cancer screenings, contraception and basic preventive care.
Texas women can’t afford another four years of reckless, ruthless Perry/Abbott policies. They need the courageous, principled Wendy Davis as their champion in Austin.
But far-right extremists have given us a preview of their planned attacks, and they’re as disingenuous and disgusting as any I’ve seen. Help Wendy fight back with a contribution now.
