Food for thought - TX Rs that would look like they’re firnly in the red column but are objectively not as to Paxton: - George W. Bush — former President - Karl Rove — former senior advisor to President George W. Bush - Dade Phelan — former Texas House Speaker (“There’s not a world in which I can vote for a Ken Paxton.”) - John Cornyn — outgoing U.S. Senator - Betsy Price — former Fort Worth Mayor (Will not vote for Paxton.) - Glenn Rogers — former Texas state rep (“I’ll never trust Ken Paxton, I’ll never support Ken Paxton”; character over party.) - Ed Emmett — former Harris County Judge (Has publicly criticized full-ticket support for Paxton amid ongoing scandals.) - Privately — Almost every elected you know, from both parties, and a ton of Paxton’s former staff. Others founded “Republicans for Talarico” or explicitly endorsed Talarico over Paxton: - Kel Seliger — former Texas state senator and former Amarillo Mayor (Lifelong Republican who endorsed Talarico at an Amarillo event, citing representation of the people over billionaires buying offices.) - David Maxwell — former Director of the Law Enforcement Division under Ken Paxton (Appeared in a Talarico ad; reported Paxton to the FBI as a whistleblower.) - Neil Bush — Son and brother to R Presidents (Publicly indicated support for Talarico.) - Barbara Bush — Daughter and grand-daughter to R Presidents (Publicly indicated support for Talarico.) - James Edge — Bryan City Council member and mayor pro tem; former Texas GOP convention delegate (“I cannot vote for Ken Paxton.”) - Jimmie Don Aycock — former Texas state rep - Steve Bartlett — former Dallas Mayor and former U.S. Rep (“Supporting James Talarico doesn’t change that [I’m a proud Republican].”) - Dorothy Burton — former Duncanville Mayor Pro Tem and City Council member - Ryan Davenport — former GOP convention delegate - Donna Halstead — former Dallas City Council member - Deborah Hankinson — retired Texas Supreme Court Justice - Kimberly Priest Johnson — retired U.S. Magistrate Judge - Susan Lewis King — former Texas state rep (Lack of bipartisan effort.) - Adam Kinzinger — former U.S. Rep - Shane Phelps — former Deputy Attorney General under John Cornyn - Tom Phillips — retired Texas Supreme Court Chief Justice - Bennett Ratliff — former Texas state rep - Jim Richards — former Dallas City Council member - Dale Ross — former Georgetown Mayor - Andrew Sansom — former Executive Director of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department - Todd Smith — former Texas state rep - Lionel Sosa — former campaign adviser to Presidents Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush - Alan Steelman — former U.S. Rep - Glen Whitley — former Tarrant County Judge Now imagine all those TX R politicians who won’t say it, but won’t support Paxton. And their friends. And their friend’s friends. The unknown R voters who can’t/won’t support Paxton - the folks that don’t say it out loud but will vote accordingly.
