After New Report on Paxton’s China-linked Donors, Talarico Campaign Releases New Digital Ad Exposing Ken Paxton’s China Ties

AUSTIN, TX — Today, Talarico for Texas released a new digital ad slamming Ken Paxton for his China ties — taking an all-expenses-paid trip to China to meet with CCP officials and pocketing $40,000 from China-linked real estate developers buying Texas land.

The ad reveals Paxton’s hypocrisy as he continues to make false claims that Talarico “sold Texas out to China.”

Several Chinese real estate investors donated to Paxton’s Senate campaign — and each donor works for “companies that facilitate the exact kind of Chinese investments he has criticized,” wrote the Houston Chronicle.

Three years prior, Paxton secretly traveled to China against the advice of his staff, who raised concerns about CCP influence and surveillance concerns.
