‘Drag Race’ Star Alyssa Edwards Hits Back at Ken Paxton’s Campaign
Paxton’s edited posts use Alyssa Edwards to attack James Talarico as polls show Paxton trailing and Elon Musk weighing a possible $5.2 million boost.
- On Wednesday, RuPaul's Drag Race star Alyssa Edwards published an open letter responding to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who has repeatedly used her image as a campaign tool against Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico.
- Paxton targeted opponent Talarico in a recent video montage, calling Edwards "sick and twisted" and labeling Talarico "too weird, too radical for Texas."
- Countering the attacks, Edwards, a 46-year-old dance educator, detailed her 30-year career founding the Beyond Belief Dance Company, urging Paxton to focus on "policy, leadership" rather than disparaging her character.
- Publicist Waylon Tate criticized Paxton's "obsession" with his client, stating that Edwards is being used as "political ammunition" in a U.S. Senate race she is not running in.
- Polls show the Senate race remains competitive, with Talarico leading Paxton 50% to 44% as the contest attracts outside funding, including $5.2 million from Elon Musk.
