Ad copy

If you can hear me, clap once 👏 If you can hear me, clap twice. 👏👏 I'm James Talarico, and I'm a former middle school teacher, so I know how to get your attention. Now, I'm a candidate for the U.S. Senate here in Texas, and we're facing our most important fundraising deadline yet on December 31st. Every donation sends a clear message that we have the grassroots strength to take back Texas from the billionaire mega-donors and their puppet politicians. This campaign is for our teachers, our nurses, for working Texans all across this state. And we can win if we have the resources. So can you chip in whatever you can today to help power this campaign?
