Sen. Wendy Davis went to Harvard Law School with Obama

[alp227]

According to this law firm biography of Wendy Davis, the Texas State Senator who successfully aborted a Texas anti-abortion bill through filibuster, Davis graduated from Texas Christian University in 1990 and Harvard Law School in 1993. Her time at Harvard Law overlaps Barack Obama's final year as Obama graduated in 1991, and Obama's PAC Organizing for America tweeted in support of Davis. So I wonder how much Davis knew Obama over the years.
