James Talarico Campaign

Ad copy

Hey y’all, it’s James Talarico. Just a couple of weeks ago, we launched this campaign, and the response has been overwhelming. Thousands of Texans have shown up to rallies, and this grassroots team raised $1 million in 12 hours. But now we have our first official fundraising deadline coming up on September 30th. When it’s over, we’ll have to report how much we raised, and our opponents will be looking to see if we have a strong enough grassroots movement to take back Texas. We’re going up against the political establishment, billionaire mega-donors, and a whole lot of money — but if we do this together, I know we’ll have what it takes. So please chip in anything you can before the September 30th deadline. My team and I would greatly appreciate it.
