If the Texas governor’s race were determined by a national election, it might be Wendy Davis’ to lose. The state senator’s filibuster of abortion legislation last year went viral, giving her the celebrity and momentum to attract Democratic donors from coast to coast.

Davis succeeded in nationalizing the governor’s race, with Democrats from Alaska to Florida and from Hawaii to New York sending dollars her way for a race that will have no direct effect on them. A comprehensive analysis of Davis’ campaign finance data by the American-Statesman reveals a remarkable influx of nearly 30,000 donations from individuals outside of Texas, accounting for $6.2 million, or nearly 21 percent of her total haul — $30.5 million in donations and in-kind contributions.
