Ken Paxton finally has some funds to compete with Lunatic James Talarico’s huge purse. It’s urgently needed. Paxton didn’t have any funds. As a result, an AARP poll has Talarico leading by 4 points. Everyone needs to vote Paxton- hold your nose if you must. Texans can’t sit home. Trump’s pollster has Talarico in the lead.
Talarico has enjoyed a 7-to-1 spending advantage over Paxton. But now Paxton has a 5-1 spending advantage. Republicans are coming through.
A new $51 million investment from Texas PAC, a group affiliated with the Senate Leadership Fund, the main super PAC allied with Senate Republican leaders, adds to the more than $23 million that has already been booked by a half dozen other G.O.P. groups on advertising for Mr. Paxton from Sept. 1 through Election Day. That gives Mr. Paxton and Republican allies a 5-to-1 spending advantage over Mr. Talarico and Democratic allies, according to Ad Impact, a media tracking firm. For months, the Democratic side had possessed a clear spending advantage.
The approximate total of $75 million doesn’t include all of a $10 million Texas ad buy disclosed by President Trump’s super PAC last week or the $2 million-plus investment in voter contact work from Elon Musk’s super PAC.
Texas, Talarico Is Getting His Money from the Far-Left Coastal States
Talarico: “all of my money comes from hardworking Texans”

When Mr. Paxton defeated Mr. Cornyn, who some Republicans argued was the stronger general election option, many in the party braced for a more difficult and expensive general election.
Mr. Cornyn’s allies, who are close with many donors and served in Senate leadership, were embittered by the outcome, complicating Mr. Paxton’s path to consolidating support.
Paxton should start picking up. Up until now, Paxton was basically invisible. He can now refute Talarico’s attacks.
Flip-flopping radical leftist James Talarico will now have to face resistance. He must lose. We can’t lose Texas. Once these radicals get in, they pay off their voters with tax dollars, and they never leave office. It could also swing the balance of power to communists.
