No other details have been announced about Talarico&#8217;s visit at this time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The tour will kick off Sunday in Plano.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Texans are tired of being divided into teams \u2014 red versus blue, left versus right, rural versus urban,&#8221; Talarico said in a news release announcing the tour. &#8220;That&#8217;s why we&#8217;re traveling across the state to unite working people onto one team. I encourage Texans across the political spectrum to join us at one of our stops as we work to defeat the politics of division.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a data-ylk=\"slk:Talarico&#039;s &#039;Frontera Tour&#039; addresses border issues, affordability in El Paso;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ktsm.com\/news\/james-talarico-border-communities\/?ipid=promo-link-block2\" class=\"promo-link__link\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">\u00a0Talarico&#8217;s &#8216;Frontera Tour&#8217; addresses border issues, affordability in El Paso\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Texas Tribune reported this week that most polls have Talarico ahead of Paxton. The last time a Democrat has won a statewide race in Texas was back in 1994.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">President Trump has visited Texas three times in the past month to support Paxton and stir up the Republican base.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Talarico&#8217;s campaign said the 20-city tour embodies the spirit of the Texas classic &#8220;Friday Night Lights&#8221; football &#8212; Clear eyes, full hearts, can&#8217;t lose, the Talarico campaign said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Copyright 2026 Nexstar Media, Inc.
