There are many aspects of Wendy Davis and Leticia Van de Puttes campaigns which I value supporting. While we will not have the benefit of Wendys involvement as a Texas Senator in the next legislative session, Leticias continued strong leadership will be felt. A friend sent the below quote from Wendys speech which expresses an important value to remember as we look forward: “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” A link to Wendys speech reminding us that the effort was worth it: - on.msnbc/1Eh4JQZ
