Texas Rep. James Talarico (D-Austin) is expected to announce his campaign for U.S. Senate on Tuesday, becoming the latest Democrat to enter the race.
Talarico, a former teacher, has represented part of the Austin area in the Texas House since 2018. He will join a Democratic primary field that already includes former U.S. Rep. Colin Allred and former astronaut Terry Virts.
On the Republican side, incumbent Sen. John Cornyn is expected to face Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in the primary.
