Beto O’Rourke hired the former president of Planned Parenthood to lead national fundraising for his campaign for Texas governor as he seeks to narrow the financial gap with the incumbent.
Cecile Richards, who is also the daughter of the last Democratic governor of Texas, Ann Richards, will join O’Rourke’s campaign as national finance chair. The 64-year-old advocate for abortion rights was born in Waco and formed a political action committee in 2019 aimed at electing women.
