Attorney General Ken Paxton, the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate, is scheduled to campaign in Sherman on Sunday, Oct. 25, KXII reported Wednesday.
The stop is part of his "Come and Take It Tour" and is set to start at 5:30 p.m. at Schulman's Movie Bowl Grille. Admission is free, but the campaign is asking people to reserve tickets through an Eventbrite listing. State Rep. Shelley Luther, a Republican, urged supporters to sign up before the event fills, according to the station.
Paxton faces Democratic nominee James Talarico in the Senate race. Election Day is Nov. 3.
Two statewide tours
Paxton opened the tour with a rally in Rockwall on Oct. 17, Newsweek reported.
At Rockwall, Paxton framed the tour's name as a message to his opponents. "My message to the far left extremists who are destroying our Texas is 'Come and Take It,'" he said, as quoted by Newsweek. "That's the message of our entire tour." The phrase comes from the Texas Revolution.
Talarico started his own two-week, 21-stop tour, called "Clear Eyes, Full Hearts" after the Friday Night Lights television series, with a rally in Plano on Oct. 18. His schedule leans on college campuses, including the University of North Texas, the University of Houston, the University of Texas at Austin and Texas Tech, plus North Crowley High School in Fort Worth.
