Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico is heading to California for a Hollywood fundraiser, according to multiple reports.
Talarico is scheduled to travel to Los Angeles for a Thursday, Sept. 10, fundraiser hosted by “Lost” co-creator Damon Lindelof and his wife, Heidi, according to POLITICO and The New York Times
. The event will also feature Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff from Georgia, according to The New York Times.POLITICO reported that it obtained an invitation to the fundraiser and reported that the get-in price for the Lindelofs’ event is $500, with the cost plateauing at $13,500.
It is not the first time Talarico has received support from the Hollywood couple. POLITICO reported that earlier this summer, Lindelof attended a star-studded
fundraiser for Talarico and three other Democratic Senate candidates.

Cruz calls Talarico a 'great candidate' for California
Talarico’s California trip comes after Texas leaders have sought to tie him to the state, with Sen. Ted Cruzrecently commenting that Talarico "would be a great candidate in California" in a CBS News interview in August.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, Talarico’s Republican opponent in the U.S. Senate race, has repeatedly criticized the Democrat over his out-of-state fundraising, including financial support from California.
