TALARICO FOR TEXAS
Hear me out for 60 seconds. My name is James Talarico, and I'm running for the U.S. Senate here in Texas. Because right now, there is something broken in America. Our economy is broken, our political system is broken. Even our relationships with each other feel broken. That's because the most powerful people in the world want it that way. The biggest divide in America is not left versus right. It's top versus bottom. Billionaires want us looking left and right at each other instead of looking up at them. But this People Powered campaign has what it takes to go up against them and win. So please, chip in what you can. We need as many people as possible to prove our movement is strong enough.
