Wendy Davis campaign disavows robocall using her name - Houston Chronicle

For those in Texas, something to be aware of. Also looks as if Attorney General Greg Abbott doesn't feel the need to do his job; as the article stated he is the frontrunner to be Davis' opponent.

A tagline on the group's website says it is focused on "forward thinking social advocacy." But Bo Delp, Davis' communication director, urged supporters to stay away from the group, saying the group was not connected to Davis' campaign.

"We are aware of robocalls falsely posing as our campaign and asking for money," Delp said. "It is disgusting that anyone would take advantage of hard-working Texas families looking to participate in their democracy and make Texas even better."

Federal Election Commission documents list Marquita DeJesus of McKinney as the group's director and Marcia Fern, also of McKinney, as the treasurer, while listing a mailbox in Washington, D.C., as the group's office.

"We do advocacy for social justice issues like affordable health care, gun control and human trafficking," DeJesus told The Associated Press. "We've been reaching out for some issues across America doing advocacy calls, but recently in Texas, we've trying to generate support for Wendy Davis."

Democratic strategist Matt Angle showed The Associated Press online records from the Colorado Secretary of State that show the same attorney that is listed for Justice for All also represents several conservative groups based in that state.
