Texans Prioritize Price Inflation Over Cryptocurrency Worries

Texans are more concerned about rising prices than cryptocurrency, according to some. In fact, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said that Texans aren't worried about crypto, they're worried about rising costs. This was mentioned during a speech at the Texas GOP convention in Houston on June 12, 2026.

James Talarico, a candidate for Senate, disagrees with Paxton's assessment. He believes that the real divide in America is not between left and right, but between the top and bottom. Talarico thinks that Paxton will only serve the interests of the elite if elected.

Rafael Alvarez from Houston echoed this sentiment, stating that Texans deserve better than the Republican Party's handling of basic needs such as water infrastructure. Alvarez mentioned the crisis in Corpus Christi, where emergency water restrictions are likely to be implemented due to lack of desalination plants.
