TX-21: TV ad blitz kicks off in high-profile battle between U.S. Rep. Chip Roy and Wendy Davis
he TV ad campaign is getting a relatively early start in the race for Texas' 21st Congressional District, foretelling a contentious, expensive sprint to November for U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, R-Austin, and his well-known Democratic opponent, Wendy Davis.
Both sides in the race are launching their first TV ads of the general election Tuesday, the details of which were first shared with The Texas Tribune. Davis' campaign is going up with a spot that highlights her biography and the fact that she's a grandmother. Meanwhile, the pro-Roy Club for Growth is starting to air an attack ad against Davis, whom the ad calls a "self-serving politician."
In the wide congressional battlefield this election cycle in Texas, it is the first race where both teams are on the air — and likely a sign of much more to come.
In Davis' ad, she talks about her life story, from her parents' divorce when she 13 years old to living in a trailer park and ultimately becoming a state senator. Davis represented the Fort Worth area from 2009 to 2015.
"As a state senator, I put Texas over party because everyone deserves a fair shot," Davis says. "I approved this message because now I’m a grandmother, and we owe them the same opportunities we had."
