REPORTED ABOUT Houston Public Media, as posted on Texas Standard (KUT), writes (published 2026-09-30): “Early on, Talarico tried to keep a positive tone, but now he’s running ads stressing Paxton’s reputation for alleged political corruption. One features Talarico himself at a campaign event lambasting Paxton for allegedly growing rich in government service, as well as recounting Paxton’s 2023 impeachment on charges of abuse of office. Another Talarico ad displays camera footage of Paxton taking an expensive Montblanc pen someone had left behind in a tray by a metal detector.” Texas Standard (KUT) · Paxton-Talarico contest on course to demolish Texas record… · 2026-09-30
