2013

On June 25, 2013, Wendy Davis held an 11-hour filibuster in an attempt to run out a special legislative session so that a vote could not be held on Texas Senate Bill 5.

At about 15 minutes to midnight, Van de Putte confronted the Presiding Officer, State Senator Robert L. Duncan, a Republican from Lubbock, who she said had ignored her repeated motions earlier.

Van de Putte asked him, "at what point must a female senator raise her hand or her voice to be recognized over the male colleagues in the room?"
