AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoSenate Showdown: A University of Houston poll puts James Talarico ahead of Ken Paxton, 48% to 46%, with independents favoring Talarico; the survey was conducted Oct. 10–14. Early voting is also setting records in counties across Texas, though analysts caution that turnout alone doesn’t predict the result. Money and Influence: Elon Musk endorsed Paxton, while Trump-aligned MAGA Inc. has spent $22.9 million opposing Talarico. Republican Neil Bush says he voted for Talarico, citing concerns about Paxton’s record. Huffines’ Authority: Comptroller Don Huffines is calling recent directives “executive orders,” including one barring state contracts and grants for businesses that require COVID-19 documentation. Legal observers say his orders appear to direct routine agency rulemaking, not exercise a governor’s executive power. Campaign Tensions: Texas governor’s candidate Gina Hinojosa is suing Gov. Greg Abbott for access to his communications with Musk. Separately, a transgender advocacy group says someone is impersonating it in texts and mailers sent to Texas families.
