Abbott ad: You said 'no' to Wendy Davis, now say 'no' to Sarah Davis
Gov. Greg Abbott’s campaign is escalating the air war against Republican state Rep. Sarah Davis by launching a fourth TV commercial, this one focusing on abortion policies and likening the moderate renegade to her unrelated namesake, Wendy Davis, Abbott’s Democratic rival in 2014.
“You said ‘no’ to Wendy Davis. Now it is time to say ‘no’ to Sarah Davis,” says the narrator of the 30-second ad, which will go on TV next week.
The Abbott campaign released the ad in advance of the Houston-area lawmaker’s Thursday morning interview in Austin with Texas Tribune CEO and co-founder Evan Smith. At the event, Davis said she looks forward to working with the governor in the next legislative session but did not expect to vote for him in November.
“That would be hard,” said Davis, who added that she probably will skip voting in the gubernatorial contest. She would not say who she voted for in the 2016 race for president.
