DANIEL STRAUSS – JUNE 11, 2014, 10:26 AM EDT

Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis is replacing her campaign manager.

The Davis campaign announced that Karin Johanson, a veteran campaign manager, will be replaced by state Rep. Chris Turner (D). Johanson previously served as Sen. Tammy Baldwin's (D-WI) campaign manager for her Senate campaign.

"After building one of the most competitive campaign organizations Texas has seen in decades, Karin Johanson has let me know that she believes it's time to hand off the reins of the campaign management for our final push toward election day," Davis said in a statement on Wednesday.

Davis praised Turner for his two decades of experience in Texas politics which includes him fighting and winning "tough races in the state."
