NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads? Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them. The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything. @ElonMusk: Texas is not for sale.

James Talarico: I am not running for the U.S. Senate to represent New York or California. I'm not running for the U.S. Senate to represent the Democratic Party. I am running for Senate to represent all 31 million Texans, and I will always do what's best for Texas, even if that means standing up to my own party. If the Democratic Party is going after the good-paying oil and gas jobs here in Texas, I'm going to stand up against them. I was able to pass 60 bipartisan bills during my time in the legislature, and the only way I could pass those bills is by working with Republicans. I'm a proud Texas Democrat, but I already have a religion and I already have a sports team. You can look at my record in the legislature and see that I always did what was best for my district, even if it meant pissing off my own party, and that's exactly what I'm going to do in the U.S. Senate.

Q: Who have you voted for in the past? Voter: I’ve voted for Donald Trump, I’ve voted for Greg Abbott. Republican my whole life. Q: So why are you switching teams? Voter: I am seeing what we need. This is what America needs. This is what Texas needs. We need someone like James Talarico. Q: And you don’t think Ken Paxton can deliver? Voter: Oh no, I don’t think so at all. I think he’s a criminal. And we don’t need someone like that representing Texas.

Q: How are you going to lower gas prices? James Talarico: I've already laid out a plan to suspend the federal gas tax and diesel tax, which would immediately drop the price of gas by 18 cents a gallon for Texans. But that's a stopgap measure. The only thing that's really going to lower these prices is ending this disastrous war in Iran. We need checks and balances back in our government. The legislative branch has to reassert its authority — Congress is the one that can and should declare war. We desperately need to restore those checks and balances and check the overreaches of the executive branch.

.James Talarico: Every man at some point in his life is going to lose a battle — but what makes him a man is that in the midst of that battle, he doesn’t lose himself. This is the last play of the last drive. This is the moment we leave it all on the field. We are the underdogs. It’s David versus Goliath. It’s the powers that be versus the powers that ought to be, and it’s time for us to start flipping over some tables. Because, as every Texan knows: clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose.

.James Talarico: I want to get back to the kind of capitalism we had in the middle of the 20th century in this country. I want competition, but it’s got to be fair competition. We’ve got to take on these monopolies, this consolidation, because again it’s fundamentally anti-capitalist. Right now, our tax system literally taxes work more than it taxes wealth. I’m advocating for a return to original capitalist principles where we actually reward work instead of wealth—an economy that creates fewer trillionaires and more millionaires.

.James Talarico: Before I was ever a candidate, I was a public school teacher. I taught 6th grade language arts at Rhodes Middle School on the west side of San Antonio — one of the poorest zip codes in Texas. I saw how decisions made in the halls of power hurt human beings. At one point, I had 45 students in one classroom, and there weren't enough desks for all those kids. I remember thinking, ‘This is the wealthiest country in the world, and we've got children sitting on the air conditioning unit.’

.James Talarico: The richest man in the world is dumping hundreds of millions of dollars into this state to try to defame me, so I'm doing everything I can to stand up against those lies. I am tired of us being divided into teams because the truth is we're all on the same team. We are far more the same than we are different, but those big money interests, those social media platforms, and those cable news networks want to divide us. Imagine what we could do if we did it together as one team—we are unstoppable.

.James Talarico on Texas officially banning THC: “This bill is insane. Texans aren’t going to stop smoking weed and eating edibles because politicians in Austin say so. Texans will still use THC — but instead of getting it safely from a local small business, they’ll go back to getting it from the black market. From the drug cartels. This ban is a gift to the cartels. We are now telling full-grown adults how to live their lives. This is the nanny state at its worst; this is big government at its worst. Instead of fully funding our schools, guaranteeing healthcare, or making childcare more affordable — this Legislature is focused on banning a product that gives people a little peace. We’re making people’s lives harder, not easier. I want to leave you with a quote: ‘It is time to end needless arrests and incarcerations of adults for small amounts of marijuana for personal use.’ That wasn’t a Democrat. That was President Donald Trump. To my Republican colleagues, I’m asking you to oppose the cartels, stand with President Trump, and vote no on this insane bill.”

.James Talarico: You want to know why they are spending $200 million against me? Because I don’t take their corporate PAC money and I never will. I don’t work for them. I work for you. When we flip this seat in Texas, I’m going to vote to ban corporate PACs and Super PACs so billionaires can’t buy our elections. I’m going to fight to overturn Citizens United, ban members of Congress in both political parties from trading stocks, ban gerrymandering nationwide, and pass term limits to show their puppet politicians the door. That’s the kind of systemic change we’re going to fight for in Washington DC.

Undecided Texas voter: I was really impressed with Talarico this evening. I found a more balanced politician. I was surprised at how centrist he was on many of the issues, and I think that has brought me to a deeper understanding. I liked that he responded to me. I like that he invited us to sit down and challenge him.
