The Democrat in the race to replace Davis in the Senate gets the backing of doctors

“Fort Worth-area doctors and TEXPAC put our support behind Libby Willis for Texas Senate.”

The Democrat in the race to succeed Sen. Wendy Davis, D-Ft. Worth, in the Texas Senate got the backing of Texas doctors on Wednesday.

TEXPAC, the political advocacy arm of the Texas Medical Association, said it was endorsing neighborhood leader Libby Willis over the Republican in the race, Konni Burton – a conservative activist who first came to prominence in her work to help Sen. Ted Cruz get elected.
