得州联邦参议院民主党候选人詹姆斯·塔拉里科的竞选团队首先向CNN透露，在得州总检察长肯·帕克斯顿成为其共和党对手后的首个24小时内，塔拉里科筹款超过300万美元。
这笔筹款金额进一步确认了塔拉里科作为筹款能力强劲的候选人的地位，他有望成为自1988年以来首位在得州联邦参议院选举中获胜的民主党人。在因丑闻缠身的帕克斯顿在周二激烈的初选决选中击败参议员约翰·科宁后，民主党人尤其受到鼓舞。
“得州民众正团结在我们的竞选活动背后，击败（帕克斯顿）以及他所代表的腐朽、腐败的政治体系，”塔拉里科在一份声明中说道。
这笔300万美元的筹款额是塔拉里科竞选团队单日筹款的最高纪录，超过了今年早些时候他在一次重大竞选事件后筹集的250万美元——当时哥伦比亚广播公司（CBS）决定不播出塔拉里科与深夜节目主持人斯蒂芬·科贝尔的访谈。
塔拉里科在今年第一季度已筹款2700万美元，是史上参议院候选人筹款数额最高的之一。同一时期，帕克斯顿的竞选团队及其关联委员会筹款220万美元。

塔拉里科的竞选团队在4月初拥有990万美元的现金储备，而帕克斯顿的相关团队则有260万美元的资金留存。
塔拉里科周三在休斯顿的集会上启动了大选竞选活动，他在会上宣传了竞选团队的筹款佳绩，并承诺这笔资金将助力“结束得州长达30年的一党执政”。
James Talarico campaign says it raised more than $3 million in 24 hours since Texas primary runoff

James Talarico, the Democratic nominee for US Senate in Texas, raised more than $3 million in the first 24 hours after Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton emerged as his Republican opponent, Talarico’s campaign first told CNN.
The haul confirms Talarico’s status as a formidable fundraiser as he looks to become the first Democrat to win a Senate election in Texas since 1988. The party is especially encouraged after the scandal-scarred Paxton defeated Sen. John Cornyn in a nasty primary runoff on Tuesday.
“Texans are uniting behind our campaign to defeat (Paxton) and the broken, corrupt political system he embodies,” Talarico said in a statement.
The $3 million haul is the most Talarico’s campaign has raised in a single day. It is more than the $2.5 million that Talarico raised earlier this year shortly after one of the biggest moments of his campaign: CBS’ decision not to air an interview that Talarico did with late-night host Stephen Colbert.
Talarico already raised $27 million in the first quarter of this year, one of the largest hauls by a Senate candidate ever. Paxton’s campaign and its affiliated committees took in $2.2 million over the same period.

Talarico’s campaign entered April with $9.9 million cash on hand, while Paxton’s groups had $2.6 million in reserves.
Talarico kicked off the general election with a rally Wednesday in Houston, where he touted his campaign’s fundraising success and promised the financial support would help “end 30 years of one-party rule in Texas.”
