Summary
El Paso County Judge Ricardo Samaniego is officially endorsing James Talarico in the U.S. Senate race, praising his integrity and commitment to Texas families—backed by photos from Talarico’s visit to a local detention center. This comes after Talarico’s town hall, where Samaniego criticized GOP rival Ken Paxton for ignoring El Paso, and highlighted Talarico’s pledge to open a permanent Senate office in the city. Talarico’s momentum is growing with endorsements from Congresswoman Veronica Escobar, Kamala Harris, and even former President Barack Obama. Adding weight to his campaign, Dan Cogdell—the attorney who defended Paxton during his impeachment—has now thrown his support behind Talarico. On the other side, Paxton is backed by Trump, Ted Cruz, and John Thune, setting the stage for a fiercely contested race as Election Day nears.
