How PC, PH Residents Are Donating in the Texas U.S. Senate Race

Park Cities and Preston Hollow residents are known to put their money behind the political candidates and causes they support.

So how are they donating in the high profile U.S. Senate race between Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton and Democratic state Rep. James Talarico? The Dallas Morning News has shared a map, citing data from the Federal Election Commission, that provides answers.

Here’s how much each candidate reportedly received in donations by ZIP code:

• 75205: In this ZIP code covering Highland Park and University Park, Talarico raised $249,562.26 to Paxton’s $211,700.72.

• 75209: Talarico raised $234,286.42 to Paxton’s $31,092.97 in this ZIP code covering neighborhoods like Bluffview and Greenway Parks.

• 75225: Talarico raised $214,296.28 to Paxton’s $181,655.61 in this ZIP code covering parts of University Park and Preston Hollow.

• 75220: Talarico raised $91,466.36 to Paxton’s $47,600.38 in this ZIP code covering northwest Dallas and parts of Preston Hollow.

• 75229: In this Preston Hollow ZIP code, Talarico raised $182,769.15 to Paxton’s $118,925.6.

• 75230: Talarico raised $270,286.34 to Paxton’s $77,116.34 in this North Dallas neighborhood.

However, 75205 ranks first and 75225 second among the ZIP codes where Paxton has received the most money from individual donations, according to the News. The 75229 comes in at four and 75230 comes in at nine.

Talarico’s heaviest support comes from Austin-area ZIP codes, but 75230 comes in at nine among the ZIP codes where he’s received the most support from individual donations.
