Summary
A new ad from Angela Paxton asks Texans to vote the full Republican ticket next month, even as she divorces Ken Paxton and avoids naming him directly.
In the spot, she tells voters to look past concerns about any one candidate and focus on keeping every Republican seat and the party’s future in Texas.
Ken Paxton is trailing Democrat James Talarico in recent polls, including a New York Times-Siena survey released Saturday, raising alarms in a state Democrats have not won statewide in more than 30 years.
Texas PAC, tied to the main super PAC for Senate Republican leaders, funded the ad, signaling broader GOP concern about Paxton’s standing, especially with women voters.
