Texas U.S. Senate Candidate James Talarico (D) hosted an event in Dallas with Epstein abuse survivors Annie Farmer and Sharlene Rochard. They called upon Talarico's opponent, Attorney General Ken Paxton (R), to secure the release of the remaining classified Epstein files. The event took place at a traveling exhibit of Epstein files called the "The Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room." Talarico would face Paxton in the general election on November 3, 2026, which Inside Elections rated as "Lean Republican" and the Cook Political Report rated as "Toss-Up."
