Democrats Can’t Find Candidate to Run for Texas Governor
[FREEBEACON] Texas Democrats are struggling to find a candidate to run against Republican Gov. Greg Abbott after losing every gubernatorial race in the state for nearly three decades.For months Democratic leaders have been searching for a high-powered candidate to run against Abbott but have been unable to find a suitable opponent to challenge the incumbent, the News Agency that Dare Not be Named reported Tuesday. This could spell trouble for the Democratic Party in Texas after losing the governor's race in 2010 and 2014 with two high-profile candidates. Former Houston Mayor and U.S. Energy Department official Bill White lost to then-Texas Gov. and current Secretary of Energy Rick Perry in 2010. Wendy Davis, the former Democratic state senator known for her 12-hour filibuster opposing anti-abortion measures, lost the 2014 election to Abbott by more than 20 points.
