The main super PAC for US Senate Democrats plans to start spending in Texas to boost Talarico
The news via
the New York Times:
Top
national Democrats are preparing to make an initial investment in the Texas
Senate race, a strategic shift that speaks to the party’s growing confidence in
a state that has dashed its hopes for decades.mThe
main super PAC for Senate Democrats, Senate Majority PAC, said on Tuesday that
it would begin an advertising effort meant to help James Talarico, the
Democratic nominee, by targeting his Republican opponent, Ken Paxton.
The super
PAC, which is aligned with Senator Chuck Schumer, the minority leader, had so

running through smaller states where advertising is cheaper.
The group
declined to provide a figure or a range for its planned spending in Texas.

statements do. These days, you could use the same jokes to describe what’s been
happening at the Texas Secretary of State’s Office.
When Texas spends $17
million on a statewide voter-registration system, voters should expect three
things: accurate records, accountable management, and a vendor contract the
state is willing to enforce. Nothing in the August Texas House Elections
Committee hearing on Texas Election Administration Management,
or TEAM, met that standard.
Five captions from the
Despair, Inc. catalog describe it exactly.
Perseverance: “The
courage to ignore the obvious wisdom of turning back.”
