Punchbowl News: “Texas PAC, the Senate Republican leadership-backed super PAC supporting Ken Paxton’s Senate bid, will add more than $35 million to their television reservations in the Lone Star State, bringing their total spend to more than $100 million there.”

”Texas PAC has $65 million in reservations already booked.”

”This is a major uptick in the GOP’s efforts to boost their chances in Texas.”

”Senate Leadership Fund, the leadership-backed super PAC, runs Texas PAC. But they have raised funds designated to help Paxton against Democrat James Talarico.”
