Texas state representative James Talarico is running as the Democratic nominee against Republican Ken Paxton in the race for the U.S. Senate seat.
Talarico described Paxton as the most corrupt politician in America following the Republican primary, where Paxton defeated incumbent Senator John Cornyn. Paxton has faced accusations of bribery and abuse of office but maintains he is a victim of political attacks. Talarico said the scandals provide an opening for Democrats in the typically Republican state.
