It's Official, I filed! (Wendy Davis) [View all]

Today I filed my candidacy for Governor of Texas. It’s full steam ahead from now until next November.

I am running because we need to create quality jobs in Texas, improve education, and give our veterans the respect and care they deserve. I am running because the promise of Texas made it possible for me to go from a tiny trailer, to a successful business, to the state Senate. But today, that same story might not be possible. I want to ensure that every Texan has those same opportunities.

And our campaign is a story all its own. Not mine -- but yours.

It’s the story of Stephanie: “I'm a wife, a mother of two, and a graduate student who is also employed in my academic department. When I graduate I will have a burdensome student loan to pay off when I should be concerned about saving up for my children's college.”

And George: “I have been a carpenter my entire working career. I have become more and more disappointed in our elected officials over the last decade. I feel the working people have all but lost their voice.”

When we close the book on our campaign, I want its pages to be filled with stories from all Texans.

I want to hear your story, too. Click here to let us know what you’d like to share.

One young Texan sent us a story. I have to say, if our campaign was a book, this would be on the very first page -- “I cannot vote because I am too young, but I know that Wendy Davis will create a bright future for myself and my peers, along with future generations.”

That single sentence sums up exactly what we’re trying to do here. Except for one detail -- I can’t create a better Texas alone. We’ll create it together.

Thank you.

Wendy
