Meet the People Behind Wendy Davis' Campaign for Governor
Legendary Texas Longhorn football coach Darrell Royal famously said you should “dance with who brung ya.”
Democrat Wendy Davis appears to be taking that advice as she builds her campaign for Texas governor.
The Fort Worth state senator is relying on a tight-knit group of people who have fought in the political trenches together, often against the odds, and often in territory seen as inhospitable to Democrats. So it’s no surprise to her close allies that the Davis for Governor campaign will not be based in liberal Austin but rather in Fort Worth, which sits in the most Republican-leaning Texas county that has more than a million people in it.

Longtime Davis campaign guru J.D. Angle, 47, is expected to take the reins of her gubernatorial campaign as the top paid consultant, according to people familiar with the planning. Angle, a voter contact and targeting expert who founded Angle Mastagni Mathews Political Strategies, LLC, in 2009, has been a Davis consultant since her days on the Fort Worth City Council, and he led her to two victories in a state Senate district that tilts Republican. A former vice president of the Tyson Organization, a Fort Worth-based consulting firm, Angle has worked for candidates in at least 47 U.S. states — and has consulted for every Democratic presidential campaign since 1996.
