Dan Cogdell, former lawyer for Ken Paxton, endorses James Talarico in Senate race

9 Haziran 2026The Guardian

Attorney Dan Cogdell, who previously represented Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, has endorsed Democrat James Talarico in the Texas Senate race. Cogdell's support highlights a significant shift, as he criticizes Paxton for being overly focused on appeasing former President Trump.
This endorsement comes after Cogdell was part of Paxton's defense during his impeachment trial in 2023, which resulted in an acquittal.
The Texas Senate race is highly competitive, with significant implications for both state and national politics. Paxton's legal troubles and his alignment with Trump have drawn criticism and may impact his support among moderate voters.
Cogdell's endorsement of Talarico is a noteworthy development in Texas politics, signaling potential fractures within the Republican Party. His criticism of Paxton suggests that some within the party may be seeking a candidate who can appeal to a broader electorate, rather than one who aligns closely with Trump.
