Ad copy

Hey y’all, it’s James Talarico. I’m the new Democratic candidate running for the U.S. Senate here in Texas. This is not going to be like any campaign you’ve ever seen. I’m not taking a dime of corporate PAC money, or a dime of AIPAC money. This is a grassroots campaign — an underdog fight that will require all of us working together to win. We’re going up against a rigged system and a lot of money. Big Money is powerful, but it's nothing compared to people power. So chip in any amount you can afford to power this campaign. We're going to make history, and we're going to do it together.
