Ken Paxton raises personal-best $18 million in third quarter for Texas’ U.S. Senate race

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has raised an impressive $18 million in the third quarter for his U.S. Senate race, more than doubling his previous quarter's haul, showcasing his fundraising prowess. Despite this personal best, Paxton still lags behind his main rival, Democrat James Talarico, whose past totals remain higher even though Talarico hasn't disclosed his latest fundraising numbers. This surge in Paxton's campaign funds underscores the intense competition and high stakes of the Texas Senate race, signaling a potentially expensive battle ahead.
