Friday Night Lights Cast Joins Talarico’s Final Texas Push Amid Record Spending
James Talarico, the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Texas, has launched a final campaign push featuring a new advertisement starring Connie Britton, Jesse Plemons, and Adrianne Palicki from the hit series Friday Night Lights. The spot, released over the weekend, utilizes the show's iconic battle cry to urge voters to support Talarico ahead of the November 3 election. The candidate is currently tied in the polls with Republican opponent Ken Paxton, the Texas Attorney General. While Talarico has attracted significant celebrity support, including appearances by Kacey Musgraves and The Chicks, his rival benefits from massive financial backing from Elon Musk and endorsements from Donald Trump. The race is described as the most expensive in the midterms, with over $500 million spent on advertising alone.
