About this listen
Wendy Davis's campaign was a long shot—the seated Republican who represented Utah's House District 45 was so popular that even her own party doubted a Democrat could win. But Wendy knew her community, and she knew they were ready for change. Despite her party's predictions, she knew she wouldn't lose in a landslide. She might even win.
Davis had dreamed of running for office since she was a child. Driven, highly qualified, and well aware of the barriers facing women in politics, she paid her dues, from working as a senate page to earning a doctoral degree in Political Science.
In 2019, she was ready to prove herself in an earnest, grass-roots campaign.
She couldn't have predicted what would come next. From a global pandemic that shuttered offices and cancelled in-person events to overblown media stories and back-handed maneuvers from her own party, Davis faced one of the most challenging campaigns in Utah history. Through it all, she would prove that she was much more than an underdog. She was a fighter. A raw look behind-the-scenes of US electoral politics, The Fight You Don't See recounts Wendy Davis's bid to represent Utah's House District 45, documenting the hidden battles she faced before—and long after—Election Day.
