TALARICO FOR TEXAS
Can James Talarico count on you?

Hey, it’s James Talarico, and next week my team and I will have to make some tough budget decisions for this campaign. So I’m reaching out to ask if you can make a donation before we do. Asking for money is the worst part of running for office, but it’s necessary because I’m the only candidate in this race not taking a dime of corporate PAC money. So our campaign is completely funded by people, just like you, who want to win this Senate seat here in Texas and change this country. That’s why your donation before this deadline is so important. When you chip in, and the next person who sees this video does too, our collective people power puts us on a path to win and transform our broken political system. So please, click the link below and make a contribution so we can have the resources we need before we have to make the kind of decisions that will decide whether we win or lose.
