Talarico: Ken Paxton’s billionaire handlers won’t let him answer questions in public. It’s why he hasn’t debated in over a decade. But I want him to prove me wrong. I’m challenging Ken Paxton to three televised debates.

A group of seven strangers sat in a 25-foot-long wooden boat on a recent clear-skied Wednesday evening, brows glistening with sweat as they rowed up and down the Hudson River.
