With the Texas gubernatorial election coming to a close on Nov. 4, the candidates are reportedly relying on efforts to push registered voters to the polling booths on Election Day.
Texas State Senator Wendy Davis is confident of her odds to become the state's next governor despite new polling figures showing the Democratic candidate nearly 20 points behind Republican candidate Greg Abbott.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit reversed a district court judge's ruling and reinstated the strict voter identification law in Texas days before early voting begins.
Texas Republican gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott has released his first statewide television ad for his campaign, and it's in Spanish. The Spanish-language ad, which features him surrounded by loved ones, reaches out to Texas' Hispanic population, who make up 38.2 percent of the state.
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott and his office recently came under scrutiny after figures revealed that most of his female assistant attorneys make less than their male counterparts, on average, despite having the same job qualifications. The attorney general's office claims that the difference in pay can be explained by the number of years that men have been licensed as lawyers and served at the agency, yet the figures provided by Abbott's office show no direct correlation between pay and experience.
Wendy Davis was a little-known Democrat in Texas before she was boosted to the national stage following her popular fight for women's rights just a few months ago.
