Talarico says Biden ‘failed’ Texas by not securing border
The ads seek to tie Paxton to data center tax breaks and court Hispanic and border voters after Biden-era migration surges.
- Texas state Representative James Talarico launched two television ads this week, criticizing former President Joe Biden's border record while attacking Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton's ties to the data center industry.
- Targeting Hispanic voters along the border and rural residents frustrated by data centers, Talarico aims to rebuild the coalition needed to become the first Democrat to win statewide in Texas since 1994.
- Talarico released his "Hold Data Centers Accountable Plan" in July, which would repeal sales tax exemptions for the industry, while accusing Paxton of accepting at least $448,000 in campaign contributions from data center executives.
- Returning to the campaign trail last week after a flu-related absence, Talarico faces a tight race with total ad spending exceeding $440 million in the most expensive Senate contest this cycle.
- Immigration remains a top issue for voters in the Lone Star State, where recent surveys show Talarico narrowly leading Paxton and national backlash against data centers is putting pro-industry lawmakers on the defensive.
