Ken Paxton, the Republican Texas Attorney General running for the U.S. Senate, has altered the course of his campaign tour. Initially, his team planned to conclude the ‘Come and Take It’ tour with a rally at the Alamo, a symbolic historical site. However, an event page now indicates Paxton will spend Monday evening around 300 miles away in Allen, Texas. While Paxton plans a visit to San Antonio on Sunday, the event will take place approximately 15 miles away from the Alamo.
The campaign remains tight-lipped about the specifics regarding the Alamo rally and hasn’t responded to inquiries about whether it will occur. The Alamo Trust’s rules forbid events involving political advocacy or fundraising if not associated with the Alamo. This policy aligns with the site’s historical significance as the location of a pivotal battle during the Texas Revolution.
Paxton is engaged in a tight race against Democratic state Representative James Talarico. Talarico leads slightly in polls and significantly in fundraising. Paxton’s campaign faces challenges due to past accusations of misconduct, including alleged bribery and personal missteps, leading to an impeachment by the state House. Although acquitted by the state Senate, Paxton continues to assert his innocence.
