Talarico Draws $4 Million From Outside Texas as Half of His $8.5 Million Haul Comes From Out of State

Summary
$4 million of the $8.5 million James Talarico raised from Feb. 12 to March 31 came from outside Texas, making up roughly half his haul in the period.
That surge reflected his rising national profile and the broader nationalization of the Texas Senate race, with donors from New York and California alone giving more than $1.3 million.
Ken Paxton raised about $850,000 over the same stretch, including roughly $640,000 from within Texas, leaving Talarico with a major cash edge even though Paxton was coming off a bruising GOP primary against John Cornyn.
Talarico says he is powered by grassroots donors across 246 Texas counties and more than 540,000 small-dollar contributors, but Republicans can now argue his campaign and an allied super PAC rely heavily on wealthy out-of-state money.
