Ken Paxton’s Former Defense Lawyer Endorses James Talarico

Dan Cogdell, a former defense lawyer for Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, has endorsed Democrat James Talarico in the Texas Senate race. Cogdell previously assisted Paxton in avoiding criminal charges and impeachment. However, he now asserts that the Texas AG has lost sight of his mission. This endorsement marks a significant shift for the lawyer who defended Paxton for several years, signaling a move toward supporting Talarico in the current political contest for the Senate.
