Great news: Wendy Davis launches House 2020 bid “for our childrenâ€

“I’m running for our children and grandchildren,†Wendy Davis concludes at the end of her campaign launch video, “so they can live and love.†Er … who wants to tell her? The woman who temporarily blocked the Texas state legislature to protect late term abortion will run for Congress next year, hoping to unseat freshman Republican Chip Roy:
Early Monday morning, Davis announced her candidacy for the Democratic nomination in Central Texas’ 21st District. She is challenging U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, a freshman Republican from Austin.
She made her intentions known in a biographical video, narrated in part with archival footage from her late father, Jerry Russell.
“I’m running for Congress because people’s voices are still being silenced,†she said. “I’m running for our children and grandchildren, so they can live and love and fight for change themselves.â€
The potential Davis-Roy matchup is likely to be among the most polarizing races the state has seen in recent years. Davis is a fierce national advocate for abortion rights, while Roy has built his reputation in his first six months in Congress as a conservative firebrand.
