Years of scandals haven't stopped Ken Paxton. Can James Talarico change that?
Ken Paxton, Texas attorney general, has repeatedly survived political challenges despite scandals, including charges of securities fraud, and now faces James Talarico in a U.S. Senate race. Previous opponents like Justin Nelson and George P. Bush lost to Paxton, who frames himself as a victim of political persecution. Talarico's campaign aims to highlight a broader culture of corruption, while Paxton's team dismisses such claims as distractions.
