State Senator Wendy Davis (D)

• She fought to prevent more than $5 billion in cuts to public schools which led to school closings, teacher layoffs, and overcrowded classrooms.

• She supports equal pay legislation that will guarantee women are never paid less than men for doing the same work.

Attorney General Greg Abbott (R)

• Greg Abbott is against raising the minimum wage.

• In Texas, women make 70 cents to a man’s dollar. Greg Abbott has said he will veto common-sense legislation that ensures women are paid as much as men for doing the same work.

Leticia Van De Putte (D)

With two decades of experience in the Texas Legislature Leticia Van de Putte has built a strong record of working with both Democrats and Republicans to get results. She understands that Texas will only succeed if its working families are able to succeed.

Dan Patrick (R)

Dan Patrick’s campaign has been hyper-partisan as he continually places the extreme platforms of his party above the true needs of Texas families. He once referred to the influx of undocumented immigrants as an “illegal invasion” and has been quoted saying that undocumented immigrants bring “third-world diseases” like leprosy and tuberculosis into the U.S.

Carol Donovan, House Dist. 107
