On June 18, Democratic candidate James Talarico demanded that his Republican opponent, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, release communications from his office related to a plea deal offered to a Texas man charged with sexually abusing a young boy.

"If there's anything that all Texans can agree on — Democrats and Republicans, progressives and conservatives — it's that no one, not even the attorney general of Texas, should be able to cover up crimes against children," Talarico said.
