Texas Senate Race: Tax Plans vs Affordability | Amarillo News

Texas voters face a pivotal choice in the Senate race between State Rep. James Talarico and Attorney General Ken Paxton, each offering starkly different paths to affordability. Talarico proposes taxing the wealthy and corporations to fund and expand vital programs like Medicare, Social Security, and housing credits. Paxton, meanwhile, champions sweeping tax deductions for medical, homebuying, and lifestyle expenses, plus doubling the Child Tax Credit and endorsing Trump’s proposed $5,000 direct payments—though Talarico dismisses it as a political stunt. The race boils down to whether Texans trust targeted reforms or broad tax breaks to ease their financial burdens.
