Was James Talarico's $100K Super Bowl Ad Worth It? Plus, I-35 Closures & APD Backlash

If you were watching the Super Bowl in Austin on Sunday, you probably missed State Representative James Talarico's Senate campaign ad.

On this week's Tuesday News Roundup, host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by producers Elissa Castles and Eva Ruth Moravec to talk about the money fueling the Senate primary race, including why Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is coming up short on big-donor support. Plus, the latest construction headaches on I-35 and the reason Police Chief Lisa Davis was booed by community members last week. Want some more Austin news?
