A local election is underway in Houston, with James Talarico running against Ken Paxton. Talarico's team has been analyzing Paxton's past campaigns to inform their strategy. Talarico's approach involves portraying Paxton as being part of a corrupt culture that has not benefited the public.
This tactic is an attempt to counter Paxton's previous successes despite being involved in scandals. Further details about the election and Talarico's campaign are available from Houston Public Media.
