Davis, who is best known for her 13-hour filibuster to block a 2013 abortion bill, joins the group at a low point for reproductive rights in Texas.
After two high-profile defeats at the ballot box herself, Davis is returning to a changed Capitol to pick up the same fight.
The new leadership team is hoping to capitalize on the increased interest in reproductive rights after the overturn of Roe v. Wade and build the political infrastructure to block, and eventually reverse, many of the policies Republicans have enacted in Texas, Tigner said in an interview with The Texas Tribune.
“While we know that this legislative session is not likely to be the session that those things pass, we have to start fighting for the world that we want right now,” Tigner said.Davis is perhaps best known for her 13-hour filibuster to block a 2013 abortion bill that required abortion providers to adopt requirements so stringent, they would have shuttered most of the clinics in the state.
Raised by a single mother, Davis grew up poor and, by 19, was a single mother, divorced and living in a trailer. She went back to school, studying to be a paralegal, and eventually graduated from Harvard Law School.
