Embattled Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis has spent more than $131,000 in campaign funds to pay for luxury apartments in Austin, Texas, since her election to the Texas State Senate in 2008, according to a Washington Free Beacon analysis.
While such use of campaign funds is legal in Texas, the amounts involved and properties rented may undermine Davis’s campaign persona of a working class single mom, observers tell the Free Beacon.
Davis, whose permanent address is in Fort Worth, lists government accountability as a primary issue on her campaign website, which says she opposes elected officials who “have turned state agencies and programs into their own personal piggy bank, granting favors to their friends, rewarding donors, and furthering their own interests.”

We need less high maintenance politicos, not more..

It is not against the law in Texas and her Republican opponent in the governor’s race IS the Texas AG, Greg Abbott.
She could KILL someone and STILL be elected!! Laws are for Republicans!!
To those in Texas.....What are the poll numbers looking like and when is the election?
Ruh ro.
I’m really impressed at all the incoming shots that Wendy is taking, even a few from the MSM. She may need to relocate to California or the northeast for her next attempt.
Last poll I saw had her trailing Greg Abbott by 7 points. Not to worry, that deficit will be as close as she gets.
“The woman is a whore in ever sense of the word.”
Wrong, I have known a couple of whores that were actually nice people. Wendy is not nice.
You got me there. I stand corrected.
