Sign Wendy's Open Letter to People Attacking Her
If we work together, we can create an economy built for the jobs of tomorrow and give our kids the 21st century education they need to compete in it. That's the Texas that will always make us proud, not the disgusting personal attacks Greg Abbott and his allies offer. - Wendy

Mom said it, a co-worker shared it, my girls brought it to life, and most Texans prove it every day -- true leaders just don't promote and condone the brand of shameless attacks Greg Abbott has unleashed and refused to denounce in this campaign.
You might even be surprised he's a Texan when you see the posters of my face cut and pasted on a plastic doll's body with her stomach open and a baby exposed while scissors rest inches away.
It's wrong. It's offensive. And Greg Abbott and his allies should know that these vicious personal attacks are not how we act in this state.
I know you are proud of our campaign, the thousands and thousands of you who have called, walked, made generous donations, shared your stories and worked for the promise of a Texas Governor who will fight for all Texans--not just some--instead of another insider who just will not work for you.
That's why these posters aren't just insulting to me. They are demeaning and degrading to every woman.
However, that shouldn't be a surprise coming from Abbott's allies. This is a politician who has embraced Ted Nugent, an admitted sexual predator of young girls. This is a politician who pays the women in his office less than the men for doing the same work and has repeatedly denied the necessity of equal pay for an equal day's work even when women are earning almost $8,000 less than men a year on average. This is a politician whose education plan for Texas is based in part on the work of a professor who actually thinks women have smaller brains than men.
Greg Abbott and his allies have proven time and again that they do not understand the challenges Texas women and that their families confront everyday. Texas deserves better.
Texas deserves substantive ideas from a leader that will fight for the future of all Texans -- not just some. Instead, Abbott and his backers only offer attacks and distractions. You and I know these attacks -- like the ones before them -- aren't going to distract me from what's really at stake in this campaign. And I know that you have developed thick skin with me in these months together, and that you won't stop fighting with me.
I am proud of my fight on behalf of Texas women. I am proud of my record of achievement for hardworking Texas families. And I am proud to have hundreds of thousands of grassroots supporters working with me.
If we work together, we can create an economy built for the jobs of tomorrow and give our kids the 21st century education they need to compete in it. That's the Texas that will always make us proud, not the disgusting personal attacks Greg Abbott and his allies offer.
