Texas Democratic U.S. Senate nominee James Talarico has outlined key pledges to support veterans living in the state. Talarico, a state lawmaker, is facing off against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in a pivotal midterm election. Paxton has been endorsed by President Donald Trump but is locked in a tight race in the traditionally red state. While speaking to a crowd during an event last Friday in Killeen, Texas, Talarico said he would provide additional support to Texas veterans if he is elected this November. Texas has the second-largest population of former military service members in the nation, with more than 1.5 million veterans. “They deserve a senator who will fight for them the way they fight for us,” Talarico said. “That’s why I’m proud to announce my plan to support our brave men and women in uniform and bolster the systems they rely on when they return home.”
