NEW: Talarico leads Allred by 6 points, 48% to 42%, despite facing a 28 point name ID deficit. Without going up on air, Talarico was still able to surge 36 points in just 2 months, a feat attributable to a massive earned and social media presence.

SNAP cuts are hurting more than 3.5 million Texans. So Team Talarico volunteers in San Antonio just packed over 16,800 lbs of food at the local food bank — equivalent to 13,480 meals! We will always show up for our neighbors.

The line in Amarillo to see James Talarico 👀

Amarillo is one of the reddest towns in Texas. But I showed up because our campaign is not writing off any community. It was standing room only.

There are elections happening today across Texas! Find your nearest polling location here: www.texasdemocrats.org/my-texas-votes

16 million children are about to go hungry because DC Republicans refuse to fund SNAP. If they can spend $3 trillion on tax cuts for rich people, they can afford to feed hungry kids.

There’s a lot of fear in our country right now. But Día de los Muertos reminds us that love casts out fear. This is the Texas I know. This is the Texas we’re fighting for.

Happy Halloween from Baby Jane and Uncle Jimmy! 🎃

State Rep. Ramon Romero fires up crowd for James Talarico: "We're going to send the teacher, the preacher, the fighter to Washington, D.C."

Congresswoman Julie Johnson: James Talarico is a skilled legislator, an incredible communicator, and has an unwavering compassion for the people of Texas… He is exactly what we need in the U.S. Senate

BREAKING: More than 100 Texas elected officials have endorsed our campaign for the US Senate. I’m proud to have the trust and support of community leaders from every region in our state. From El Paso to Beaumont, Texans are uniting to take on this broken political system.

Three men — Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos — now own more wealth than 165 million Americans combined. They own the media. They own the algorithms. They own politicians in both parties. The system is rigged — but We the People can take it back.

BREAKING: @jamestalarico.bsky.social just won the straw poll at the Tejano Democrats convention. This is the largest Hispanic Democratic organization in Texas.

Beaumont is ready to elect James Talarico!

💙

James Talarico: I don’t see politics as left versus right. Billionaires are using their wealth to rig our political system. They own the media and they own politicians in both political parties. They’re using that wealth to divide us, and I think people are tired of being pitted against each other

🤩🤩

Tariffs are ruining everything — including the Texas State Fair. $14 for fried oreos. $15 for a funnel cake chicken sandwich. $25 for a turkey leg. DC politicians are pricing Texans out of our own state fair.

James Talarico: There is something brewing in the state of Texas. There is a backlash growing against the extremism and the corruption that we've seen at all levels of government. We’re ready for a campaign that can bring us all together

Ken Paxton and John Cornyn claim to stand for freedom, family, and faith.  But you can't stand for freedom and control women's bodies. You can't stand for family and vote against paid family leave. You can't stand for faith and sell out the poor to give tax cuts to the rich.

President Obama can pronounce my name however he wants 😂 Thank you @barackobama.bsky.social for your kind words.

Huge crowd for James Talarico in deep red San Angelo, TX! This county hasn’t voted for a Democrat since LBJ, but they showed up for Talarico.

President Obama: There’s this young state rep, James Talarico… He’s terrific. Really talented young man. Marc Maron: There is something grounded about him that you had too. Obama: A guy like him, his starting point is ‘Let me say what I believe.’

Spotted yesterday at Austin City Limits 👀 @jamestalarico.bsky.social

The most dangerous form of government is theocracy.  Because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they're on a mission from God.

James Talarico: We have politicians who have ‘Christ follower’ in their Twitter bios, but they are kicking the sick off health care. It's estimated 51,000 Americans will die needlessly if these GOP cuts go through. That's 51,000 flesh and blood human beings. That’s a moral crime

Ken Paxton’s crimes are well known. But John Cornyn may be even more corrupt. Cornyn was the deciding vote on the “Big Ugly Bill” — kicking millions off their healthcare to give his billionaire donors a tax cut. That is corruption of the highest order.

Fort Worth is FIRED UP for @JamesTalarico! 👏

Texas State Rep. Erin Gamez: "We have someone who doesn't just talk the talk, but someone who walks the walk — and has been to South Texas more times than I can count."

James Talarico is welcomed to Greater Mt. Zion Church on Sunday 💙

🔥

Thank you for being part of this movement.

Jesus spent most of his time healing the sick. Today, we have politicians in Congress with “Christ-follower” in their Twitter bios — but they’re trying to kick the sick off their healthcare. And they’re willing to shut down the government to do it.

.@JamesTalarico is showing up for the Rio Grande Valley and the Rio Grande Valley is showing up for James Talarico! 🔥

James Talarico: I will never sell out people’s health care if I am elected U.S. Senator. I’m going to Washington to fight for the people of this state. I’m not there to do the business of billionaire megadonors

125,000+ individual contributions. Donations from 232 Texas counties. 98% of donations $100 or less. $0 from corporate PACs. And the most common profession: teacher.

3 weeks ago, we launched this underdog campaign for the US Senate. We set out to build a people-powered campaign that could take on the billionaire mega-donors. In 3 weeks, we raised $6.2 million — all from people, no corporate PACs.

DC politicians like John Cornyn promised to lower costs, fight for families, and drain the swamp. Now they’re trying to gut healthcare for millions to cut taxes for their donors — even shutting down the government to do it. If you feel conned, you have a place in this campaign.

Democracy is not just voting in elections; it's not just institutions and laws. Democracy is a spiritual practice. It requires a deep love for our neighbors — especially our neighbors with whom we disagree the most.

South Texas showed up for us. I'll keep showing up for South Texas.

This is @JamesTalarico’s rally in Victoria, Texas. This community voted for Trump by over 40 points last year.

I’m tired of being divided into teams. Do you have an elderly grandparent who needs care? So do I. Do you struggle to afford the high price of everything? So do I. Do you know what it means to carry the weight of medical debt? So do I. You’re on my team — and I’m on yours.

3 more rallies across Texas this week.

Texas school board member supports James Talarico: “Kick out the old guy. Bring in new, energetic blood.”

“James is steady. He is faithful. And he does not back down. We need James Talarico in the US Senate now.” — State Board of Education member Staci Childs

James Talarico: A threat to anyone’s First Amendment rights is a threat to all of our First Amendment rights. If we allow the most wealthy and powerful people to take down what any of us say, they’re going to come for all of us eventually

Texas State Rep Lauren Ashley Simmons: “If you want a leader who can unite all Texans and let us know how much stronger we are together, you want James Talarico as your next United States Senator.”

Fort Bend County Commissioner @dexterlmccoy.bsky.social: “When we think about the future of our state, when we think about the future of our nation, we have to think about leaders like James Talarico.”

The line to get into @jamestalarico.bsky.social’s Dallas rally 👀
