Clark, a former Democratic presidential candidate and onetime NATO supreme allied commander, will appear with Mr. Noriega and speak at a 6:30 p.m. fundraiser at the Westin Galleria hotel.
Mr. Noriega, a state representative from Houston, has touted his military credentials in his campaign against incumbent Republican John Cornyn. Mr. Noriega, a Texas Army National Guard lieutenant colonel, has served in Afghanistan.
Gen. Clark recently caused a campaign dust-up by declaring that Republican presidential candidate John McCain’s service in Vietnam didn’t qualify him to be president. Mr. McCain’s plane was shot down during a mission, and he spent more than five years as a prisoner of war.
