Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate, will launch an 18-day “Come and Take It” bus tour Saturday as he makes his final push before Election Day. The tour will include more than 30 stops across Texas before concluding at the Alamo in San Antonio on the eve of the election.

Paxton’s campaign announced the plans ahead of the tour’s launch in Rockwall, outside Dallas, two days before early voting begins. The campaign is using the historic Texas slogan to frame Paxton’s closing message around his record as attorney general and his pledge to defend the state against federal and corporate interests.

“In Texas, ‘come and take it’ has never been a slogan,” Paxton said in a statement. “It’s a promise.”

His campaign pointed to Paxton’s legal battles against opioid companies, major technology firms and the Biden administration as examples of his efforts to challenge powerful institutions.

“When they come after Texans, Ken Paxton goes after them,” the campaign said.

Paxton also criticized state Rep. James Talarico, the Democratic nominee, accusing him of being “bankrolled by national Democrats and Silicon Valley billionaires.” The remark referred to LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman’s $11.5 million in donations to a super PAC supporting Talarico.

Talarico’s campaign has argued that federal law prevents candidates from controlling super PAC contributions and has called for banning the groups.

“He won’t fight for you. He’ll fight for them,” Paxton said of his Democratic opponent. “So my message to anyone who comes after Texas is the same one Texans have been sending for almost two hundred years: Come and take it.”

The race remains highly competitive, with recent polls showing Talarico narrowly ahead in some surveys but within the margins of error. Talarico is seeking to become the first Democrat to win a statewide election in Texas since 1994.

The contest has also attracted substantial outside spending. President Donald Trump, Senate Republican leaders and Elon Musk have directed more than $214 million into Texas in recent weeks through affiliated political action committees to promote Paxton and attack Talarico, according to media tracking firm AdImpact, as cited by The Texas Tribune.

Talarico’s campaign has booked $81 million in advertising. The super PAC supporting him has spent another $8 million, while Senate Democratic leaders have invested $3.5 million in the race.

With both campaigns pouring resources into the contest, Paxton’s statewide tour will serve as a central part of his closing effort to reach voters before Election Day. Its final stop at the Alamo ties his campaign message to one of Texas’ most recognizable historical landmarks.
