\nJames Talarico thinks the San Antonio Spurs will win the 2026 NBA championship in a seven game scorcher against the New York Knicks. He also thinks he can end the statewide Democratic electoral drought in Texas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s early summer, and hope springs abundant in Texas. The conference playoffs and primaries have been fought, the final contest is underway, but now comes the hardest part: winning it all.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tWithin hours of Attorney General Ken Paxton\u2019s runoff election victory against sitting Texas Senator John Cornyn, the Talarico campaign announced a five-city blitz through the state: Houston, Nacogdoches, San Antonio, Leander, and Plano. According to the campaign, over 9,000 supporters attended the short-notice \u201cThe People vs. Ken Paxton\u201d tour, which sought to define the state attorney general and MAGA devotee around the storm of criminal allegations, legal troubles, and personal scandals that have tainted his political career. In Plano, the last stop on the tour and Paxton\u2019s home turf, a crowd of Talarico supporters about 4,000 strong chanted \u201clock him up!\u201d in reference to the attorney general \u2014 a corrupt, criminal, and immoral entity that represents \u201cthe rot at the core\u201d of American politics, as Talarico tells supporters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\tThe tour is an affirmation that Talarico considers Paxton\u2019s victory over Cornyn a win for his own chances of becoming the first Democrat to win a statewide election in Texas in over 30 years. Paxton was considered the weaker primary candidate by his own party, and brings in a mountain of personal and political baggage to the race that Talarico hopes he can highlight. On top of that, Paxton is not exactly a powerhouse campaigner. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis idea that Ken Paxton is immune from accountability is a false narrative,\u201d Talarico tells Rolling Stone<\/em>. \u201cI mean he\u2019s kind of like Trump without the charisma, or the sense of humor, or the star power. Kind of all the worst parts about Donald Trump, and none of the good parts.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe campaign wants to force confrontation, both by making Paxton\u2019s shady record a centerpoint of the race, and by making their opponent \u2014 who has a habit of ducking debates with his electoral challengers \u2014 meet them in person. I \u201cabsolutely\u201d want to debate Paxton, Talarico adds with a grin. Ideally \u201cmultiple times.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\t\u201c[Texans] deserve to see both candidates debating their proposals and their records, so that absolutely needs to happen,\u201d he says. But Paxton can be tough to pin down. He doesn\u2019t have a public calendar of events on his campaign website, and the opening week of his stint as the official Republican nominee was spent not on the ground with potential supporters, but on a national media tour attempting to turn the race into a referendum on Trumpism, touting his connection to the president and trying to cast Talarico as a woke-opsessed radical leftist. Talarico isn\u2019t taking the bait.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe\u2019ve been talking about Donald Trump for 10 years now, and I\u2019m ready to talk about something else,\u201d Talarico says of his decision to leave the president out of his opening attacks against Paxton. \u201cI think there\u2019s a lot of disillusionment among the president\u2019s supporters, and my job is to extend an open hand rather than a closed fist.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tOn a sweltering Sunday in Leander, a northern suburb of Austin, Talarico has just finished shaking hands with, no exaggeration, hundreds of his supporters. The last of them had hung around nearly an hour and a half after his rally speech ended \u2014 under the intermittent shade of oak trees and a lattice of water misters \u2014 just to snap a quick picture with him. The smell of sunscreen and lager lingers even as the last stragglers leave the venue. Throughout the day, no small number of attendees swapped out the Spurs gear they arrived in for Talarico merch. A similar scene played out in San Antonio less than 48 hours earlier, where the crowd chanted \u201cGo, James, Go!\u201d in a riff on the \u201cGo, Spurs, Go!\u201d chant the city has been practicing all month.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tOn stage, Talarico, 37 years old and just beginning to gray, made his pitch. \u201cI have a legislative record, Ken Paxton has a criminal record.\u201d He juxtaposed the astronomical wealth Paxton has accumulated since entering elected office with the struggles of everyday Texans to afford the lives they see their politicians living. \u201cWe have an affordability crisis because we have a corruption crisis,\u201d he declared, to raucous cheers from the thousands of supporters in attendance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cNo one has really prosecuted the case statewide against Paxton and his crimes,\u201d Talarico says laterafter ducking away for a brief cool-down in a refurbished Airstream trailer that serves as the venue\u2019s green room. He says his goal is to \u201cactually articulate the choice that\u2019s in front of voters in a way that Ken Paxton has never had to face.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\tWhile Paxton has served three terms as Texas\u2019 chief legal officer, he has yet to be electorally tested since Republicans in the state legislature impeached him in 2023, on 20 articles including bribery, alleged corruption, abuse of office in his dealings with Texas real estate developer Nate Paul, retaliation against whistleblowers, and obstruction of justice. Paxton was acquitted by the Texas Senate, shortly after a Super PAC aligned with the attorney general donated and \u201cloaned\u201d $3 million to the campaign coffers of Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, who also happens to serve as the president of the Senate presiding officer over the impeachment.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tPaxton has also been criminally indicted, on charges of fraud by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The feds alleged that the attorney general, at the time a state lawmaker, had tricked investors (and at least one Texas lawmaker) into buying stock in a tech firm without disclosing his own kickback arrangement with the company. The case hung over Paxton for nine years, delayed by venue disputes and other technicalities, before being dropped after he agreed to pay out $271,000 in restitution, perform 100 hours of community service, and take an ethics course.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tIn July of last year, Paxton\u2019s scandals and repeated instances of infidelity apparently became too much for his wife \u2014 state Senator Angela Paxton \u2014 who filed for divorce. Mrs. Paxton wrote in her announcement that she was separating from her husband on \u201cbiblical grounds,\u201d and adding that \u201cin light of recent discoveries,\u201d she did not\u00a0believe \u201cthat it honors God or is loving to myself, my children, or Ken to remain in the marriage.\u201d Their divorce trial was slated for later this month, but was recently canceled after they agreed \u201ca trial setting is no longer necessary.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tPaxton has managed to maneuver himself out of seemingly every possible roadblock. If it sounds like a familiar story, it\u2019s because it is. The comparisons between Paxton and Trump write themselves. They are both criminally indicted politicians accused of abusing the powers of their offices, alleged serial adulterers, and survivors of impeachment efforts. The president may be absent from Talarico\u2019s stump speech, but he is very much a part of the race.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tFacing historically low approval and inklings of dissent within his own party, Trump has spent primary season ousting Republicans who have wavered as the administration spirals, and forcing through only the most loyal MAGA candidates \u2014 Paxton among them. Trump has promised to come down to Texas to campaign alongside his personal pick, and, like Paxton, has tried to paint Talarico as both a dangerous, DEI-obsessed leftist radical who will drag Texas into California-esque ruin, and an effeminate vegan who lacks the proverbial Texas toughness needed to succeed in the state. Paxton\u2019s first post-runoff ad highlighted Talarico\u2019s support for transgender rights, immigration reform, and climate change, ending with an image of Trump and Paxton and a voiceover reminding the audience that \u201cthis is Texas,\u201d before flipping to an image of Talarico and declaring that \u201cthis is not.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\tTalarico\u2019s first post-runoff ad targeting his opponent, meanwhile, highlighted a sweetheart plea deal he gave to Adam Hoffman, a man who admitted to molesting a young boy over a period of three years \u2014 an attempt to contrast Paxton\u2019s \u201ctough on crime\u201d rhetoric with his actual record as Texas\u2019 attorney general.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tTalarico\u00a0wants to avoid mentioning Trump and force Paxton to campaign as himself not just because Paxton\u2019s record is bad enough on its own, but because he\u2019s never really been tested as a candidate. The attorney general historically benefited from cruising to the Republican nomination and never having to actually campaign to win an election. There are two critical exceptions. The first took place in 2018 when, amid a criminal indictment for fraud that Paxton later settled, he barely won reelection by three points over his Democratic challenger. The second came just a few months ago, when Paxton narrowly lost the Republican primary vote to Cornyn, but managed to force a runoff since neither candidate won an outright majority. To Talarico, it\u2019s a sign that the attorney general\u2019s ground is far less stable than he\u2019d like voters to think.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cKen Paxton has never been up for election since he was impeached by his own party,\u201d Talarico explains. He says that in 2024 many Texans voted for Trump because \u201cthey thought he was going to lower costs, and now they\u2019ve seen everything get more expensive just one year into his term. So that disillusionment is real among a lot of Trump voters, and I think my goal is to provide them a home in this movement.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI am not interested in relitigating the 2024 election,\u201d he adds. \u201cThat\u2019s why I don\u2019t talk about Donald Trump very much. I\u2019m focused on the future. Like how do we actually elect leaders who are going to fight for us, who are going to fight to unrig this economy?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tYet the circumstances in which Trump took back the White House are necessary context to understand the current electoral landscape in the state. Trump made a series of historic gains among Hispanic and Black voters. In Texas, border counties that had not elected a Republican president in over a century were suddenly tinged red. It looked like a potentially lethal blow to state Democrats, until Trump actually took office. Tariff wars, hardline immigration enforcement, and rampant corruption have seen the president\u2019s progress among Hispanics all but completely wiped out. The oil and gas shock caused by Trump\u2019s war against Iran is pummeling the freight-heavy, car-centric state. The consequences of MAGA governance are coming home to roost. It\u2019s now a matter of Texans taking to the polls.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\tLast Friday, as San Antonio prepared for a winner-take-all Western Conference Finals Game 7, hundreds of Talarico\u2019s supporters queued up outside of Paper Tiger, a local music hall just off of the city\u2019s historic Pearl District. It\u2019s the kind of weekend most Texans would spend in the shade, with a beer or a ranch water in hand. People are instead sharing sunscreen and UV umbrellas as campaign staff pass out bottles of ice cold water. Daniel, a Navy veteran, tells Rolling Stone <\/em>he had been raised in a conservative military household, and that he \u201csat on the sidelines\u201d during the 2024 election, throwing a vote at a \u201crandom\u201d third-party candidate and hoping that voters would not allow Trump to retake office. He says he feels needed to take a more direct hand in the process this time around. \u201cI have daughters,\u201d he says. \u201cI would not want them to be in the Republican Party.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tChris, a self-described Republican, says he\u2019s voting mostly \u201cagainst\u201d Paxton, but is interested in Talarico\u2019s platform. \u201cI think he\u2019s moderate, which I like, despite how they portray him,\u201d he explains. \u201cPaxton is such an undeserving person. He\u2019s a criminal, and yet somehow he\u2019s an attorney general here in the state.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tPlenty of attendees point to the Trump administration and Texas Republicans enabling the president\u2019s agenda in the state. Teachers and social workers are fretting over funding restrictions, the deviation of public funds to private and charter schools, and the demonization of their professions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tSeveral women cite reproductive choice as their motivating issues. Some had supported Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) in the Democratic primary but want to give Talarico a fair shake. A significant contingent of attendees and volunteers says Talarico\u2019s embrace of his Presbyterian faith as the guiding star of his progressive politics speaks to their conservative Christian roots.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs one young Talarico volunteer puts it, \u201cI think we\u2019re all still trying to figure out our spiritual journeys, and that\u2019s always going to be an evolving conversation for every person, and I like that he brings it in in a way that is, I think, actually how the Bible is interpreted, that sound and cares about people in a real way.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTalarico stresses that this movement is open to everyone. \u201cI do feel like there\u2019s a lot of Trump supporters, Trump voters who come to events like this \u2014 particularly young people who voted for the president in 2024 \u2014 they voted for him primarily to lower costs,\u201d he says of his crowds. \u201cThey thought the economy in \u201817 and \u201818 and \u201819 was a good economy, and they were right. So they were hoping he would bring that back. They thought he was going to end the forever wars, they thought he was going to drain the swamp, and he thought he was going to release the Epstein files.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\t\u201cMore than a year into this administration, he\u2019s failed on all four counts,\u201d he adds of the president.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tTalarico presents himself as a candidate devoted to service. The opening anecdote of his stump speech is a memory of his great grandfather \u2014 known affectionately as \u201cPoppy\u201d \u2014 a WWII veteran who loved Matthew 23:11: \u201cThe greatest among you will be a servant.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThat is a radical idea in a world obsessed with power and wealth and status,\u201d he tells a rapt, overflow crowd. \u201cJesus is saying that real greatness is serving others.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tBut to assume Talarico\u2019s emphasis on his religious devotion means he is a mellowed-out, kumbaya candidate would be making a mistake. There is no quarter for Ken Paxton.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThree years ago this week, Ken Paxton was impeached by his own party for using his public office, his position of public trust to enrich himself and his billionaire donors at our expense is everything that\u2019s wrong with politics. He doesn\u2019t serve us, he serves himself and his donors,\u201d Talarico declares to the crowd in San Antonio. \u201cSince taking office, Ken Paxton\u2019s net worth has increased 7,000 percent while our pay has remained stagnant. He has 11 homes now, while most Texans can\u2019t afford one. He\u2019s taken bribes from wealthy donors while blocking overtime pay for Texas workers and gutting our health care. This is the rot at the core of our broken system. It\u2019s why we can\u2019t afford anything. It\u2019s why we can\u2019t get ahead, no matter how hard we work.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tNot Trump. Not Republicans. Ken Paxton. Talarico doesn\u2019t need to invoke the specter of the man in the White House. He knows voters will draw a line from Paxton to the president themselves.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe don\u2019t have a government of, by, and for the people. We have a government of, by, and for the billionaires, those billionaires by politicians like Ken Paxton, and then those puppets turn around and rig the rules of the economy in favor of those billionaires at our expense,\u201d he continues.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe crowds go wild.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tSitting at a picnic table in Leander a few days later, still in his blazer despite the mugginess of the mid-afternoon Texas sun, Talarico reminisces about the Spurs, who the night before had defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder to advance to the NBA Finals.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI was a teacher in San Antonio the last time the Spurs were in the Finals,\u201d he recalls of the team\u2019s 2014 championship run. \u201cThey always embodied this team ethos, right? There was never a ball hog, it was all just them as a unit, and I feel like this new team embodies that, too.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\t\u201cI don\u2019t think anyone thought we were gonna go this far,\u201d he muses. It\u2019s unclear if he\u2019s still talking about basketball.\u00a0<\/p>\n
