| This cycle, Texas Democrats face a number of crucial races that we consider must-win for the future of our state. To help these great candidates raise the funds they need to compete and win, Burnt Orange Report encourages you to donate to our "Burnt Orange to Blue" fundraising page on ActBlue.
 Ann Johnson, running in HD-134 in Houston, is a noted attorney and advocate for children who won a landmark case at the Texas Supreme Court that prevents children from exploitation and human trafficking. In private practice, Johnson represents child victims of harassment and bullying in schools. Johnson will be a much-needed addition to the legislature, where women and children are treated like political footballs rather than actual Texans.
Johnson is running to unseat Sarah Davis, a Republican who won the 2010 wave. Davis voted for the Republican budget that slashed $5 billion from our public schools, crippled Medicaid, and slashed 75% of state family planning funding. Sarah Davis claims to be a moderate, but she has an extremist Republican voting record. She voted for an amendment that prevented victims of rape and incest from receiving any family planning funding for an abortion. Who needs Todd Akin when Sarah Davis is around to vote to punish rape victims right here in Texas?
Make no mistake: Republican Sarah Davis is bad for the families of Texas. Ann Johnson has a tremendous record of fighting for children and families, and will be a great member of the legislature.
Support Ann Johnson and all of our Burnt Orange to Blue candidates today! |
