Talarico launches 20-city Texas tour ahead of Senate election

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico will visit El Paso on Oct. 26 as part of his 20-city “Clear Eyes, Full Hearts” tour, which runs through Texas ahead of the Nov. 3 election. The campaign says the tour is aimed at bringing working people together and encouraging turnout; the El Paso venue has not been announced. Talarico is challenging Republican Ken Paxton, and multiple reports describe the race as closely contested, with polling generally showing Talarico ahead.
