Dan Patrick’s priorities are out of line with Texans. It’s time for new leadership in the Texas Senate. Vote for Vikki Goodwin as your new Lt. Governor of TX.

James Talarico on Texas officially banning THC: “Texans aren’t going to stop smoking weed and eating edibles because politicians in Austin say so. We are now telling full-grown adults how to live their lives. This is the nanny state at its worst; this is big government at its worst."

According To Massachusetts Dept. Of Revenue, It's Generated $ 3.38 Billion During The Most Recent Fiscal Year Alone ! So Go Ahead, TAX THE RICH..... (WBUR)

Talarico: When I get tough questions, I answer them. When Ken Paxton gets tough questions, he runs away, literally runs away from reporters, from voters, from anyone asking hard questions. If you've given an Epstein style sweetheart deal to a child predator, you should have to answer questions.

"Texas has the highest number of uninsured people and the most rural hospital closures in the country. If Greg Abbott wanted to lower healthcare costs for Texans, he would've done it in the twelve years he's been Governor." Gina Hinojosa

Ken Paxton hasn’t debated in over a decade. I wonder why. Maybe it’s because he’d have to explain how his corruption crisis became Texas’ affordability crisis. James Talarico is ready. Paxton is still hiding. Debate him. Or keep running.
