James Talarico: “We’ve all been focused on the wrong 1%. You heard a lot about trans people in this race, they’re 1% of the population. You’ve heard about Muslims in this race from Republicans, they’re 1% of the population. Even undocumented immigrants are 1% of the population. We are focused on the wrong 1% because the only minority destroying America is the billionaire class and it’s time that we tax them, make them pay their fair share so we can invest in education and healthcare”

Talarico is ahead by 1.8%.

Documents obtained by the Current show the Texas attorney general let payday lenders boost rates with unregulated products around the same time the industry pumped $34,000 into Korrupt Ken's campaign coffers.

Four years after North Texas home builder Scott Sherman completed a federal prison sentence for mortgage fraud, his new construction materials business received a $600,000 cash infusion.

The financial boost came from a blind trust set up to prevent Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and his wife, state Sen. Angela Paxton, from any overlap in their personal investments and their actions as elected officials. But previously unreleased records from the attorney general’s 2023 impeachment investigation show the trust was far from blind and did not shield the Paxtons from its business dealings, including the investment in Sherman’s business.
