It is the name; it would not surprise me that the vast majority of Latinos thought they were voting for a Latino. When I first saw the name (Talarico), it sounded Spanish but unusual, so I looked it up, it is Italian.
I don’t care for James Talarico; I see a fake man pretending to be a caring man. Would not surprise me if he turns out to be like Fetterman, looking at the next election and realizing he must be more MAGA to win the next election. But I will vote for him because, if nothing else, it takes the Senate away from the Republicans. That is very important because it could mean appointments to the Supreme Court.
Harris County Democratic Party primary, first of five of the eleven contested primaries.
Democratic Candidates for Harris County District Clerk. The position is vacant.
I did not pick Goodwin; she is not better qualified. But I do think she will win the primary. White people still make the decisions for us, darker-skinned people.
Terry speaks four languages, but very little Spanish. Spanish is the most spoken language in the Americas. Why would Terry think so little about a language that is the second most spoken in the world? Is it the people who speak it that he has problems with?
An article that explains what the ruling on tariffs means, drawing a line on the sand for Trump and future presidents.
The outcome could reverberate beyond Texas: Operatives in both parties believe Cornyn would be a heavy favorite in November while Paxton would put GOP control of the seat at risk, especially if state Rep. James Talarico wins the Democratic nomination.
This article provides the most detailed information about Gina Hinojosa.
Maybe I just see things that are not there or maybe I see subtle racism that others may not see, but the latest deal with James Talarico, makes me think that the same people that kept telling us that Biden was too old are now telling us that it will take a white candidate, a religious white candidate to win a US Senate seat in Texas.
Assuming the poll is fairly accurate, the governorship and other statewide offices may be within Democrats’ striking distance.
I believe he should have stepped down, but that is not my decision to make. Unfortunately for Congressman Green, a new poll shows him trailing Congressman Menefee by a significant amount.
Democrats need people that will stand up to the Republicans, not people who will bend their knees and kiss their behind. Say no to Annise Parker.
The Latinx Leaders need backbones to stand up and represent their community.
Is Matthew “Matt” Salazar a Democrat? All things being equal, I am more likely to
I don’t think people realize it’s a Pete Wilson moment unfolding; it could turn Texas Blue for a long time.
In this special election, Latino voters backed the Democratic candidate by an astonishing margin, 85% to 15%, according to VoteHub. This is the political cost of an administration that has chosen xenophobia and cruelty as governing tools, unleashing a campaign of intimidation and violence against immigrant communities and assuming those voters would tolerate it.
The mayor of Houston needs to get serious about the budget, it is easy to spend other people’s money to buy love, but much harder to figure out how to pay for all that spending.
Talarico has already done irreparable harm to Democrats with either his stupidity or his racism. How many of the Houston editorial staff who made the decision have ever walked in the shoes of a Black man who overcame the odds to succeed?
I hate to burst Talarico’s bubble, but he won in 2018; he should give a lot of credit to Beto O’Rourke, whose very large tail helped get a lot of Democrats elected for the first time, including Lina Hidalgo here in Harris County.
