INCLUDE TED BROWN IN U.S. SENATE DEBATES
PRESS RELEASE – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Austin, TX, August 3, 2026
Ted Brown, the Libertarian Party candidate for U. S. Senator in Texas, wants to be part of the James Talarico-Ken Paxton Senate debates.
“There are only three candidates in the Senate race, yet the media outlets only invited Talarico and Paxton to three scheduled debates,” said Brown. “Voters need to hear from all the candidates to make an informed choice in this race. In a year when over 50% of voters nationwide say they are seeking alternatives to the corrupt status quo parties, it’s shocking that the only alternative candidate in this race hasn’t been invited.”
Brown, a former small business owner and insurance adjuster from Austin, also ran in the 2024 Senate race against Ted Cruz and Colin Allred and won a record 267,000 votes for a Libertarian Senate candidate in Texas.
Brown noted that Libertarian Senate candidates have been included in debates in many other states, like Georgia, Indiana, and Arizona. “In the past, the League of Women Voters hosted debates and invited all the candidates,” he said. “But since the tribal Red and Blue Teams became so pronounced, their candidates have refused this format and sought their own debates with favorable moderators.”
Brown also noted that in 1998, wrestler Jesse Ventura ran for Governor of Minnesota as the Reform Party candidate and was only polling in single digits. After he participated in four debates with the Democratic and Republican candidates, he rose in the polls and won the election with 37% of the vote. Voters got to see all the candidates, and that made all the difference.
