Campaign positions

What each campaign says.

Ken Paxton

His campaign's issues page puts energy inside its fiscal section: it says the previous administration declared war on American energy and that he will help bring down costs and remove regulations it describes as designed to hurt energy companies. The page carries no separate energy or environment section and names no measure.

Ken Paxton for Senate

James Talarico

His campaign carries a full energy and environment section: reinstate federal tax credits and loans for renewable development, streamline permitting without weakening environmental protection, expand the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, require large users such as AI data centres to pay for the grid upgrades they need, strengthen the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act, and dedicate federal money to weatherproofing the Texas grid.

Talarico for Texas

Ted Brown

No position on energy or the environment appears anywhere this desk read. His campaign site serves its whole content in one page, and that page's twelve platform sections are digital privacy, taxes, immigration, foreign policy, free trade, emergency powers, gun rights, the war on drugs, justice reform, education, police reform and health care; none is about energy, electricity, the grid, climate or the environment. The words energy, grid and climate appear in none of them; environmental appears once, in the justice section, in a list of federal law whose enforcement he objects to rather than as a position on the environment. The page also carries a News Coverage index of dated outside articles about his campaign, which this desk did not search, and a Media section of interviews and a Quotes section of other people's words. His own posts were read too: the account his site links was collected in full from July 1, 2026 to the retrieval on September 14, 2026, 339 posts and replies, exhausted rather than stopped at a cap, and nothing in them states a position of his on energy or the environment. The desk's earlier enumeration of which posts the search words reached was wrong and is withdrawn rather than replaced: the posts were re-swept on 2026-09-17 and the absence held, but the individual matches were not re-derived here.
