Wendy Davis Daughters Slam Disgusting Right-Wing Attacks Against Their Mother
"I think most people knew that once a powerful Texas woman (who happens to be a Democrat) decided to run for Governor of Texas, the attacks against her were going to get very ugly. I mean this is a strong, independent woman against the Republican party and Republicans dont like strong, independent women."

"Well, apparently her daughters have had enough and they decided to speak out.
Her youngest daughter Dru said, in part:"
We lived with her the first semester, but I had severe asthma and the weather there wasnt good for me. My parents made a decision for my sister and me to stay in Texas while my mom kept going to school. But that doesnt mean she wasnt there for us. She traveled back and forth all the time, missing so many classes so that she could be with us. Her friends were such a big help. Especially her third year, when she would only go to school two weeks out of the month and her friends would share class notes so she could try to keep up while she was home with us in Fort Worth. (read the full letter here)

Her eldest daughter, Amber, also weighed in on the ridiculous conservative attacks:
My mother had me when she was very young, a kid herself. And although she was married for a short period of time, parenthood was her sole responsibility. Yes, we lived in a trailer. Does it matter how long? Not to me. Even though some people have tried to question my own memories; I do remember the trailer, as well as the apartments that we lived in during the years that followed. I know that I was my mothers first priority and that she wanted a better life for me than the one she was living. She worked 2 jobs and went to community college at night. She refused to repeat the life her family struggled in growing up. (read the full letter here)
Much More to the story..
