Thomas J. Henry, a well-known Texas attorney recognized for his extensive media presence, publicly announced his support for Democratic state Representative James Talarico in his bid for the Texas Senate. Henry shared his endorsement via a video posted to the social media platform X on Thursday.

The endorsement is particularly significant due to Henry’s past political involvement. He has previously donated over $600,000 to a political action committee (PAC) that supported Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton. This shift in political alignment has drawn attention, as Henry is moving from backing a prominent Republican figure to supporting a Democratic candidate.

The Hill reports that Henry’s endorsement is part of a widely watched Senate race in Texas. While the article notes the specific dollar amount of Henry's past donations to the pro-Paxton PAC, it focuses primarily on the announcement of the endorsement itself. There is currently no public statement from the Talarico campaign or the Paxton-aligned PAC regarding the significance of this shift in support. The report frames the endorsement as a notable development in the state's political landscape, highlighting Henry's status as a fixture of Texas advertising and legal circles.
