Wendy Davis not running for U.S. Senate, instead considering run for U.S. HouseThe former state senator and Democratic nominee for governor says she is "looking very seriously at Congressional District 21."
by Patrick Svitek April 5, 2019 7 AM Wendy Davis says she is not running for U.S. Senate in 2020 and instead is considering a bid for the U.S. House.
"I'm looking very seriously at Congressional District 21," the former Democratic nominee for governor said in a new podcast released Friday, referring to the traditionally Republican district that Democrats came close to flipping last year.
Davis, also a former state senator, had mulled whether to take on U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas. But in the podcast, "The Rabble: TX Politics for the Unruly Mob," Davis made clear she is no longer weighing a Senate campaign and reiterated her call for U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro of San Antonio to enter the race.
"There's a reason I made a decision not to run for this Senate seat against John Cornyn," Davis said on the show, which was taped Thursday. "I've been very candid about the fact that my dear friend Joaquin Castro is someone that I'd like to see run."
