Wendy Davis, whose bid for governor of Texas in 2014 failed spectacularly, announced Thursday night that she would be running for Congress.
Davis made the announcement during a Texas Observer award gala, according to Texas Monthly politics editor Forrest Wilder, who tweeted out the news. As The Washington Free Beacon’s Brent Scher reported, others confirmed the announcement. Davis will be running against Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), who was elected to the seat in 2018 after Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX) announced he would not seek re-election. Smith had held the seat since 1987. His predecessor, Tom Loeffler, was also a Republican.
