LUBBOCK, Texas — This week on Talking Points, KAMC’s Jen Phillips talked with two senator candidates, James Talarico and Ken Paxton.

Talarico joined Jen virtually from the campaign trail, as he discussed issues that impact rural and West Texas. Jen also attended Ken Paxton’s tour stop here in the Hub City, where Paxton broke down his campaign’s mission and goals.

Back in the studio, Jen discussed a Lubbock County Commission vote to support an independent investigation to determine whether any laws were broken when two people were paid for a commissioner’s post position. KAMC’s Harper Buck was at the meeting and reviews what the district attorney had to say about it.
