Talarico has laid out a compelling way forward for all Texans
AUSTIN, TX - The Human Rights Campaign PAC (HRC) is proud to endorse James Talarico, who currently represents District 50 in the Texas State House of Representatives, to serve as the state’s next United States Senator.
With a pro-equality majority on the line in both houses of Congress in this midterm election, HRC has a unique and powerful opportunity to work with key candidates across the country to further an agenda of freedom, opportunity, and equality for LGBTQ+ Americans. James Talarico speaks with deep conviction and commitment on LGBTQ+ issues, sharing how his experience connecting faith and freedom will inform his work on a pro-equality agenda as a Senator.
Texans have a clear choice this fall. It’s a choice between the most corrupt politician to run in Texas in living memory or an honest, engaging leader in James Talarico, who will fix real problems for families across the state. LGBTQ+ Texans deserve someone who rejects the politics of fear and division and stands up for them - for their freedom and for their futures. HRC is proud to endorse James Talarico and activate our over two million Texas Equality Voters to help bring new leadership to the Senate.
HRC’s Commitment to Texas
HRC is dedicated to electing leaders across the state who champion policies that will support the rights and lives of LGBTQ+ people. Texas is home to over 2 million Equality Voters, a voting bloc of demographically and geographically diverse Americans who are united by the advancement of LGBTQ+ equality. Equality Voters are younger, more racially diverse, and more female than the general electorate, they recognize and trust the HRC brand, and they are more likely to identify with issue-specific organizations than candidates or political parties.
