After two high-profile defeats at the ballot box herself, Davis is returning to a changed Capitol to pick up the same fight.
Alongside Davis, Planned Parenthood Texas Votes has elevated Shellie Hayes-McMahon and Drucilla Tigner to co-executive directors. Hayes-McMahon, the first Black woman to lead the organization, joined Planned Parenthood Texas Votes in 2021 from Annie’s List, which recruits and trains women to run for office in Texas. Tigner also joined in 2021, after working as chief lobbyist for gender equity for the American Civil Liberties Union of Texas.
“Our organization is building the next generation of movement leaders by investing in programs for young people across the state,” she said. “We are also investing in programs for supporters and volunteers who want to dedicate more of their time and effort into this work, and we are building the pipeline for future success in Texas.”
“While we know that this legislative session is not likely to be the session that those things pass, we have to start fighting for the world that we want right now,” Tigner said.Davis is perhaps best known for her 13-hour filibuster to block a 2013 abortion bill that required abortion providers to adopt requirements so stringent, they would have shuttered most of the clinics in the state.
