Democratic U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico rallied voters at the Magoffin Auditorium on the University of Texas at El Paso campus on Monday, Oct. 26, in his final pitch to Borderland voters ahead of the Nov. 3 election, according to the El Paso Times.

The Times reported the 1,100-seat auditorium drew an enthusiastic crowd that arrived more than an hour before the primetime event. State Rep. Vince Perez urged supporters to help push early voting turnout, and El Paso County Judge Ricardo Samaniego also addressed the crowd, the Times reported.

Talarico urged voters to turn out and send a Texas Democrat to the U.S. Senate for the first time in 30 years, according to the Times. Early voting in Texas runs through Friday, Oct. 30, and Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3.
