Wendy Davis is an attorney, author, former Texas state senator, former city councilperson, and the 2014 Texas Democratic gubernatorial nominee. Her public service career as an elected official spans three decades. From very humble beginnings, Davis worked as a single parent to forge a path to college, beginning at community college and earning a scholarship to Texas Christian University, where she graduated first in her class. Ultimately, Davis graduated with honors from Harvard Law School. She is widely recognized as a leader on women’s healthcare policy, and is best known for her historic 13-hour filibuster in the Texas Senate to kill a legislative effort that would have dramatically reduced women’s access to abortion care services in her state.
