Hi there,
As part of our effort to keep the Swing Left community informed on all of
our target races, today we want to take a deeper dive into the U.S. Senate
race in Texas.
With a uniquely appealing Democratic candidate and a scandal-ridden,
unpopular Republican opponent, this race represents Democrats’ best
opportunity in years to win a statewide race in Texas.
Recent polling numbers even show Democrat James Talarico with a lead over
Republican Ken Paxton:

But while these poll numbers look great for Talarico, a story broke this
weekend that a Republican PAC has booked more than $51 million in ad
spending for Ken Paxton.
This brings Paxton’s TV spending budget to more than $74 million in
reserved advertising between now and Election Day, all booked by outside
GOP groups—not including millions that will be spent on filling the
airwaves by both Donald Trump’s super PAC and Elon Musk’s.
This spending is in sharp contrast to just a few weeks ago, when Talarico
had a 7-to-1 spending advantage over Paxton.
It’s clear that Republicans are panicking about the strength of Talarico’s
campaign, and as a result, they’re doubling down to outspend Talarico on
TV. That’s another reason the work we’re doing with volunteers on the
ground in states like Texas, to contact and turn out voters through Ground
Truth, matters.
Ground Truth is Swing Left’s innovative, volunteer-led deep-canvassing
program that aims to have real, in-depth conversations with voters ahead
of Election Day to help Democratic campaigns better understand the voters
they need to reach to win.
Because this work is ultimately about winning elections. Every
conversation is an opportunity to listen to voters who traditional
campaigns might miss, build trust, and persuade more people to vote for
Democrats. These conversations could help determine who controls Congress,
and whether there is a check on Trump.
That’s why we need your help. The more people we can reach, the more we
can do to help Democrats win the U.S. House and Senate and hold the Trump
administration accountable.
