The Rabble Faves: Wendy Davis


Listen Later

While we're on break, we're revisiting some of our favorite episodes from Season 1. This week, Wendy Davis officially filed to be on the ballot for U.S. Congress in Texas's 21st district (Becky's district!). We thought a proper way to celebrate was to re-play one of our favorite interviews -- the one where Wendy made her first ever public mention that she was considering running for this seat. She also talks lessons learned from run for governor in 2014, and how a "painfully shy" book-loving little girl grows up to become a modern feminist icon and rabble rouser. Plus, we wade into the "Creepy Uncle Joe"-infested waters and discuss intent vs impact. We also get a primer in how our Texas schools get their dollar bills and learn about HB3, the most comprehensive school funding legislation Texas has passed in decades (no thanks to Rep. Jonathan Stickland, the lone "no" vote). And so much more!
