Gutsy Texas pol heading to NYC for fund-raisers

Texas state senator and Democratic candidate for governor Wendy Davis — famous for her epic June filibuster against a Texas anti-abortion bill — is heading to New York to raise campaign funds on Dec. 10. Tickets for cocktails with Davis start at $1,000 and range to $25,000 to become an event chair at the following dinner. Single mom Davis is riding a wave of liberal popularity after her gutsy filibuster. Standing for 11 hours in sneakers, she managed to temporarily block the passage of the law.
