In DC, state Sen. Wendy Davis vows bid for governor or reelection; no other options under review

WASHINGTON — Headlining a National Press Club luncheon, state Sen. Wendy Davis said she’s considering only two options: run for governor, or seek reelection.

“A lot of people are asking me that question lately, as you can imagine,” she said, when the emcee asked her whether — having just lambasted Gov. Rick Perry — she plans to run for his job next year.
“I’m working very hard to decide what my next stps will be,” she said, adding that many Texans seek a change from the state’s divisive, partisan Republican leadership.

She ruled out a run for any office other than governor or reelection from her Fort Worth Senate district.

That, she said, “I can say with absolute certainty.”
