@marieclairemag names Wendy Davis to their list of Women You Need to Watch This Election Day
Wendy Davis may be a state legislator, but she’s long garnered nationwide fame for her staunch support of women’s reproductive rights. So it’s no surprise, then, that her campaign for Governor of Texas has received similar scrutiny. She’s served in the Texas State Senate since 2008, and throughout her career, has been a vocal advocate for abortion rights. She’s also been a supporter of equal pay through her work on the Texas Equal Pay Act, which was ultimately vetoed by current Texan Governor Rick Perry. With Wendy Davis in the top spot, it’s certain that women would be a priority in Texas—a state where women’s rights (particularly when it comes to health care) notoriously lag.
