@ShawnieP0324@EricYonceforFL@kenmartin73@jamestalarico For one, she holds stocks as a politician (bad look), has not signed the discharge petition to ban congress members from trading stocks, has received significant support from the defense industry and crypto giants in the past. The electorate are fed up with the establishment
@allelite_arrows@Zoomer_Doomer_ It’s completely possible to run in a district you don’t live in, as long as you’re in the state. She had overwhelming support in Dallas county, making it a very likely-win had she run again for TX30.
@Blue_In_MO@petefrompitt@iamchanteezy As I said earlier, there’s been 16 bills signed into law in the state of Texas by Talarico (very R leaning legislature). All of his bills are on the internet btw. They pertain to education, childcare, privacy, etc. Jasmine on the other hand? 🦗🦗🦗
@Blue_In_MO@petefrompitt@iamchanteezy Wanting an effective legislator is ridiculous? Their whole job is to legislate and to be held accountable as well. No one should be on a pedestal. In this case, Talarico has been more effective than Jasmine, making him the best choice. However, ppl can vote for whomever they want
@umichvoter Talarico should drop a campaign vid exposing the real record:
Crockett has passed ZERO solo bills in Congress + just 3 co-authored ones in the TX State House.
Talarico has passed 16 bills all on his own in the republican-led state.
Talk is cheap. Results matter. Coalition matters

@Blue_In_MO@petefrompitt@iamchanteezy Those people are found both in Crockett’s supporters and Talarico’s supporters, and it wasn’t even the majority, just the chronically online people lol
@Blue_In_MO@petefrompitt@iamchanteezy Talarico has a history of coalition building in the republican led-state legislature in Texas (passing 16 bills that he authored) whereas Crockett only got to pass 3 bills that were co-authored by others in the Texas state legislature, and she has passed ZERO in U.S. congress …
@RossSchumann @psyence_ohio @liz_crampton@JasmineForUS@jamestalarico@LoisKolkhorst Well, considering the fact that the Texas state House & Senate are significantly Republican, of course, they will keep passing bills that are from their own members. No surprise there. Talarico is one of the most effective Democrats there, with 16 bills passed that he authored.
@RossSchumann @psyence_ohio @liz_crampton@JasmineForUS@jamestalarico@LoisKolkhorst True, Talarico didn’t author the final bill that passed, but he filed HB 40 first (Nov 2020), built 100+ bipartisan co-authors, and when it stalled in committee for “unbeknownst” reasons, he co-sponsored SB 827 (very, very similar bill to HB 40) to get the $25 cap done.
@RossSchumann @psyence_ohio @liz_crampton@JasmineForUS@jamestalarico@LoisKolkhorst Rep. Talarico filed HB 40 first on (Nov 2020), months before Sen. Kolkhorst’s SB 827 (Feb 2021). His bill sparked the push & built bipartisan support. Senate version passed & capped at $25. Talarico pioneered it in the House but R’s stalled it to gain the legislative credit …
@JoshiePoo511@josecanyousee If elected, he’s promised to lead on legislation reversing Citizens United’s impact, including bans on super PACs and corporate PACs—effectively weakening super PAC influence and reforming campaign finance laws
@JoshiePoo511@josecanyousee Regular/corporate PACs are capped at low limits ($5,000 per election) for direct contributions to candidates, whereas super PACs can’t give a single dime directly and must operate independently with no coordination with the campaign allowed
@CAUTIOUSMOVER@realmatinnazir@2RawTooReal Now what? Texas has three times as many Latinos than black people, so if that’s how she truly feels about them, there goes her chances of winning the primary, much less the general election if nominated
@NikkiBarnes@iElijahManley Crockett has supported HR8034 and HR7006 in the House of Representatives, which essentially funds Israel’s defense budget. While they do support funding for other countries, they impose strict restrictions on other countries, except for Israel …
