Brother of George W Bush endorses Democratic Senate candidate in Texas
Neil Bush says that he voted for Democrat James Talarico due to reservations about Republican candidate Ken Paxton.
Barbara Bush, daughter of former US President George W Bush, donated $2,500 to a Democratic Senate candidate's political action committee in Texas. The contribution, made on September 23 to Lone Star Rising PAC, was disclosed in the committee's third-quarter 2026 filing with the Federal Election Commission. Barbara Bush, a 44-year-old executive at the NBA and co-founder of Global Health Corps, donated as a symbolic gesture, given her family's ties to the Republican Party.
The donation, while small, could indicate the Republican establishment's leanings in the race. James Talarico, a Democratic candidate for the US Senate in Texas, is challenging Republican Ken Paxton. Talarico, a Texas House of Representatives member, has criticized the influence of wealthy donors in American politics.
