Former state Sen. Wendy Davis said Friday she is not ready to announce whether shes running for the 21st Congressional District, after media reports and social media posts suggested she had decided to run. The seat is currently held by U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, a freshman Republican from Hays County.

It is important that Democrats put up qualified, exciting candidates and be in a position to offer 100% support for them if we are to turn the state Blue.
It does look like there are sparks of promise........
