Democrat Wendy Davis blasted her Republican rival in the Texas governor’s race last Monday for saying he would veto a law that would make it easier for women to sue their employers over pay discrimination.
“This Texas gal is calling you out,” she told about 160 cheering supporters at Scholz’s Beer Garden in Austin. She stated that Abbott needed to address the pay disparity in his own office. “Act like a Texan, and answer this question for yourself: What on earth is going on at your Attorney General’s Office?” Davis added, “I can assure you, if and when I’m elected governor, I definitely will not be too busy to sign equal pay legislation.”
Davis also addressed Abbott’s comment Abbott’s statement that he supported the “concept” of equal pay for women wasn’t enough.
“I’ve never heard of a concept that could pay the rent, put food on the table or buy a tank of gas for the truck.”
