MAGA Inc. Ran Five Buys of $5 Million or More Against Talarico, Sept 5 to Oct 22
MAGA Inc. reports a series of $5 million-and-up television and digital buys against James Talarico in the Texas Senate general, all paid to Del Ray Media LLC of Alexandria, Virginia, the same vendor No Going Back PAC uses in Michigan (see 2026-09-10–no-going-back-pac-21-7-million-in-seven-tv-buys-against-el-sayed). Each is its own FEC 24-hour report. Dates below are the dissemination dates as reported, not airing dates; report dates are the dates the filer signed.
- Sept 5 (report dated Sept 5): $5,000,000 against Talarico, and an identical $5,000,000 line for Ken Paxton in the same report.
- Sept 26 (report dated Sept 26): $5,000,000.
- Oct 3 (report dated Oct 3): $5,000,000.
- Oct 11 (report dated Oct 13): $5,000,000. The report gives a disbursement date (Oct 13) two days after the dissemination date (Oct 11); the filer’s dates are as stated.
- Oct 22 (report dated Oct 22): $7,200,000.
The five opposing lines add to $27,200,000 (my sum). The Sept 5 report books one buy as two lines, support Paxton and oppose Talarico, so those two amounts are one $5 million buy. The Texas PAC spending in the same race is in 2026-09-12–texas-pac-spends-26-9-million-on-one-day-against-talarico-first-of-three-mega-buys.
