James Talarico

Former middle school teacher, Presbyterian seminarian, and Senator-elect from Texas fighting to take power back for working people.

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

I’m running for the U.S. Senate.

Billionaires have taken over Texas and taken over America — but together, we can take power back for working people.

First Freshmen Senator selfie! Couldn’t ask for a better team.

[Senator John Cornyn @JohnCornyn]

Good meeting with Senator-elect @jamestalarico today as he prepares to serve Texans in the U.S. Senate next Congress.

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

I just met with Senator John Cornyn.

He has served our state honorably, and I’m grateful for his advice and guidance. 

Now is the time for us to come together — Democrats and Republicans — to deliver for Texas.

[Emma Bradford @ehbradford]

As a Longhorn like James, I knew the power of burnt orange in this state.

This single clip from a Texas vs. Ohio State watch party garnered over 10 million views.

We knew what mattered to Texans because it mattered to us, too.

James Talarico pulled off a D+67 shift from 2024 with young men in Texas.

It was the largest swing toward a Democrat among men under 30 in any battleground Senate race.

Talafreako 🔥

[JT Ennis @jt_ennis]

Live from New York it’s @JamesTalarico

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

Trump: In Texas, Talafreako...

@JamesTalarico: That’s Senator Talafreako. Hi America, I’m James Talarico, the guy who's been texting you every day asking for $5.

Trump: In this economy, who can blame you?

Talarico: But I think, Mr. President, if we can work together, we can make life better for everyday Americans. It's clear people want something new. They want something different. I'm talking, of course, about SNL's cold opens. How many of these Trump freezes are they gonna do?

Trump: Infinity.

Talarico: Well, in that case, there's only one thing left to say. Live from New York, it’s Saturday night!

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

“That’s Senator Talafreako.”

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

.@ForecasterEnten: Let's talk about Texas. Look at this.

One of the reasons James Talarico won is because of young men in Texas.

Donald Trump carried young men — those under the age of 30 — by 24 points. James Talarico won them by 34 points.

Wow. A 58 point shift that helped propel him to be the first Democratic senator elected from Texas since 1988.

[Antonio Esparza @AntonioAEsparza]

The Talarico campaign generated over 3 billion organic views online.

We did it by running a social media program that was driven by storytelling and designed for vertical video.

This is the new playbook.
