Those are not my words, those are the words of Ken Paxton\u2019s fellow Republicans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also sought to tie what he called the \u201crot\u201d at the heart of the nation\u2019s political system to the everyday problems faced by many voters, driving home the concerns over rising costs that have been part of Democrats\u2019 wider messaging strategy for this year\u2019s midterm elections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn America, we have an affordability crisis because we have a corruption crisis,\u201d Talarico told the crowd.<\/p>\n<div><ul><div><div><li><div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico takes a photo with a supporter during a rally in Houston.\" class=\"wp-image-10146\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/cb3364173f483fb789a873a5f0706f91-1024x683.webp\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/cb3364173f483fb789a873a5f0706f91-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/cb3364173f483fb789a873a5f0706f91-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/cb3364173f483fb789a873a5f0706f91-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/cb3364173f483fb789a873a5f0706f91-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/cb3364173f483fb789a873a5f0706f91.webp 1860w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<div>Texas state Rep. and Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico takes a photo with a supporter during a rally in Houston, Wednesday, May 27, 2026.

Now, he\u2019s leaning into the same arguments against Paxton that Republican Senate leaders feared would make the attorney general a weaker candidate than Sen. John Cornyn, who Paxton beat in Tuesday\u2019s Republican runoff.<\/p>\n<p>The diverse crowd in Houston held signs emblazoned with \u201cTalarico,\u201d but with a new twist. On the flipside was the campaign\u2019s new theme: \u201cTHE PEOPLE vs. KEN PAXTON.\u201d<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Phrased like a court case aimed at the state\u2019s chief law enforcement officer, the theme was launched on the day that also marked the third anniversary of Paxton\u2019s impeachment on allegations he used his office to benefit a wealthy political donor.<\/p>\n<p>Paxton was acquitted on all 20 articles of impeachment, which has emboldened him and fueled his supporters. Many of them have long held that he and President Donald Trump, who endorsed him, have been victims of political persecution.<\/p>\n<p>But the message seemed to resonate with many at Talarico\u2019s rally.<\/p>\n<p>Monique Green, a retired elementary school teacher from Houston, said the most important part of the \u201cThe People vs. Ken Paxton\u201d sign she clutched to her chest while standing in line to meet Talarico were its first two words.<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a declaration that it\u2019s about us,\u201d she said. \u201cWe are the ones, all of us, what we can definitely do together.

After his rally, he said he is making the campaign about Paxton\u2019s record because \u201che has escaped accountability for years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Paxton\u2019s campaign declined to comment. But after Talarico finished speaking, Paxton posted a link to his campaign\u2019s donation page on the social platform X with a personal attack on his opponent: \u201cJames Talarico and his big vegan allies have raised a fortune trying to stop the America First agenda. I need your help!\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>It echoed a line from Paxton after his runoff victory on Tuesday, and Talarico had a response ready for his supporters at the Houston rally: \u201cI\u2019ve been eating barbecue since before Ken Paxton\u2019s first indictment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The vegan jab is part of Paxton\u2019s attempt to seek out what he considers weak points in Talarico\u2019s campaign, including past statements in which Talarico said God is nonbinary and that there were six biological sexes. And in a strategy reminiscent of Trump, Paxton also has been testing nicknames for his opponent.<\/p>\n<p>They included \u201cTalaFreako,\u201d which Talarico turned to his advantage Wednesday night. He told his supporters they could go to his campaign website and buy T-shirts stamped with the new nickname.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with CBS News ahead of Wednesday\u2019s rally, Talarico responded to the claims about his beliefs on gender, saying that what he means is that \u201cGod cannot be defined by human categories\u201d and there were \u201ctwo sexes, men and women.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI also know there\u2019s a very small percentage of people who have these chromosomal abnormalities, and I believe that they deserve to be treated with dignity and respect,\u201d he said.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=10141\">Caesars Entertainment, a Las Vegas Strip icon, is sold for $6 billion<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At an event, James Talarico framed his Republican opponent, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, as part of a corrupt political establishment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10145,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10150","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-based-on-facts-either-observed-and-verified-directly-by-the-reporter-or-reported-and-verified-from-knowledgeable-sources","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
