Paxton’s Defense Lawyer Endorses Opponent Talarico
A significant endorsement has emerged in the Texas Senate race, with Dan Cogdell, a lawyer who notably defended Republican Ken Paxton during his 2023 impeachment trial, announcing his support for Democrat James Talarico. Cogdell stated that his former client, Ken Paxton, has strayed from his core mission of serving Texans, and that Talarico, in contrast, embodies unity and the ability to bridge partisan divides. This endorsement, following Cogdell’s past contributions to Paxton and his own public criticisms of former President Trump, signals a potential shift and appeals to Republican voters disillusioned with current GOP leadership.
