TALARICO FOR TEXAS
James is running for Senate to take on billionaires and their puppet politicians.
Meet Ken Paxton: He was impeached by his own party in Texas and narrowly spared conviction after his billionaire donors gave $3 million to the impeachment judge. Now, he is running against James Talarico to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate. James believes this kind of corruption is the rot at the core of this broken system and is running an honest campaign to represent all Texans. So if you knew chipping in $20.26 would ensure Ken Paxton never made it to the U.S. Senate, wouldn’t you make the donation?
