Texas Democratic Party Statement on U.S. Senate Race

“Ken Paxton has spent decades in office abusing his power to serve special interests and enrich himself at Texans’ expense – and in November, we’re going to put a stop to his corruption. As Attorney General, Paxton traded favors with lobbyists and his wealthy donors so shamelessly that even his own party tried to remove him from office for alleged bribery and abuse of his position. And while Paxton became a multimillionaire, he cheered the policies that spiked the cost of gas, groceries, health care, and utility bills and made life harder for Texans. We are sick and tired of this kind of corruption from self-serving politicians – and that’s why voters are going to elect James Talarico in November to represent all Texans, not just the rich and powerful.”
