Wendy Davis urged Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott to stop backing the state's anti-LGBT legislation during an interview with the San Antonio Express-News editorial board.
Davis said one of the first things she'd do if elected governor would be to lift the ban on gay marriage in the Lone Star State.
The Texas politician told the Express-News she intended on asking legislators to change that section of the the state's Constitution.
"I think it is time to reopen that conversation and ask Texans where they are on it to see if that's something we might change legislatively, if it doesn't happen constitutionally," Davis told the editorial board.
At the meeting, Davis also urged Abbott, who is slated to run against her for the governor's position in the upcoming elections, to follow other attorney generals who are discussing gay marriage bans
"There are two states where that is happening right now - Virginia is one of them, Nevada, the other - where the AG has said they will not defend the constitutionality of those bans," Davis told the Express-News.
San Antonio lawyers met with a federal judge just two days before Davis' comments to argue against the benefits of the legislations, according toTexas Public Radio.
