The 2026 Texas Senate race has drawn national attention after the state set a national record for the most expensive Senate primary in U.S. history, with advertising spending alone exceeding $128 million.
- The race features Republican candidate and current Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who defeated four-term incumbent Senator John Cornyn in a highly contested Republican runoff, facing off against Democratic nominee and state Representative James Talarico.
- Both candidates have raised substantial funds: Talarico shattered national first-quarter fundraising records by pulling in $27 million, while super PACs on both sides have injected tens of millions of dollars into the contest.
- For context, the 2024 Ohio Senate race currently holds the record for the most expensive overall U.S. Senate election in history, with $483.4 million spent in total
