State Rep. James Talarico has joined forces with Beto O’Rourke for his Senate bid, focusing on targeting voters at drag shows and Black churches across Texas.

Talarico’s Strategy

Talarico participated in a strategy session with Powered by People, where Aimee Prudhomme outlined plans to target specific demographics, including Black churches and drag shows, to find likely Democratic voters.

O’Rourke emphasized the importance of changing the election outcome and making Talarico the next senator from Texas. Talarico has previously expressed his opposition to bills that could target Texas drag queens and has described himself as a Christian who supports abortion care for the trans community.

Policy Positions

Talarico has also spoken out against voter ID requirements, describing them as ‘voter suppression’ and has advocated for treating the southern border like a ‘front porch’ with both welcome and security.

As a Presbyterian seminarian, Talarico frequently discusses his Christian faith on the campaign trail, arguing that God is ‘nonbinary’ and that the trans community needs abortion care.
