Burnt Orange Report Endorses Wendy Davis for Governor of Texas
Burnt Orange Report unanimously and enthusiastically endorses Wendy Davis in the Democratic Primary for Governor, and urges our readership to not only vote for her but work hard to elect her in November 2014.
While usually we wait to endorse in primaries -- let alone general elections -- until close to the beginning of early voting, we are not waiting to endorse Davis, so that we can urge our readers to support her and openly advocate for her election.
Wendy Davis is the leader our state needs at a critical moment: when the promise of Texas looks as though it may become elusive for too many, and the costs of opportunity too high except for the lucky few.
While our economy is strong, those benefits are not felt by all working people in Texas. Too many Texans -- 28.8%, the highest in the nation -- lack health insurance, and access to affordable, quality healthcare. Our public schools lag most states in per-pupil spending, our graduation rates are low, our rates of air and water pollution are high.

[font color=green]Good news--I'm online! After experiencing warm weather in Brenham loading the moving van I arrived in Irving in the middle of a thunderstorm. Everything is unloaded and both the cat and I are sharing tight quarters, but it has the basics and free Wifi.[/font]
