Senator Davis wears a TCU helmet on the Senate floor

State Senator Wendy Davis came prepared for the “hits” she was about to take when her first bill came up on the Texas State Senate floor.
It is a tradition for veteran members to give their freshman colleagues a hard time when proposing their first bill. But when faced with the initiation, Davis called an audible.

The TCU alumna surprised the Senate members when she pulled out a Horned Frog football helmet from under her desk, put it on, and said, “Ok, now I’m ready!”

Bernie Scheffler, Davis’ communication director, said in a press release that it was a moment of humor that you don’t often see from legislative bodies.

According to her biography on the Texas Sate Senate website, Davis graduated first in her class in 1990 before attending Harvard Law School. Davis was also recognized as one of “Fort Worth’s 50 Most Powerful People” by Fort Worth magazine.
