Texas voters are in the final stretch of a U.S. Senate race that AdImpact reports has topped $500 million in spending, making it the most expensive non-presidential contest in U.S. history. Ken Paxton’s 28-city Come and Take It Tour stopped at a brewery in Sanger over the weekend, while James Talarico rallied with Democrats at a VotoLatino event in Weslaco. President Trump visits Corpus Christi and Lubbock on Tuesday, his fourth Texas trip of the midterm cycle.

For Ellis County voters, the practical deadline is Friday: early voting ends then, with Election Day one week out. A University of Houston political science professor says record midterm turnout is being driven by the Senate race, and local polling activity reflects that trend. Voters in Waxahachie and across the county have reported busy polling locations all week.

The candidates are taking different paths to the finish. Paxton’s statewide bus tour has leaned on smaller communities and North Texas stops, while Talarico spent the weekend along the border with Latino organizing groups. Both camps say turnout will decide the outcome. Have you voted yet, and if not, what’s your plan before Friday?
