Last night, Wendy Davis spoke to a huge crowd in Austin to celebrate the anniversary of her filibuster. I met the political director of Battleground Texas at the event & promised a diary, so here it is. if you want to skip the pictures & fangirling, and just help us turn Texas blue, you can do that right here: Battleground Texas: What Will You Do?
Here’s a crowd shot from Austin:
Of course everyone was thrilled. She was in full-on campaign mode – there’s an article from the Texas Tribune here: On Filibuster Anniversary, Davis Targets GOP “Insiders”
