[1]Talarico for Texas



John —

Before I was a politician, I was a public school teacher. I taught sixth
grade Language Arts at Rhodes Middle School on the westside of San
Antonio.

The westside is a beautiful, historic Mexican-American neighborhood. It’s
also one of the poorest zip codes in Texas. Every day, my students
struggled heroically to overcome poverty and systems designed to hold them
back.

Growing up, I saw that same fight in my mother — a preacher’s daughter
from Laredo who left home at 19 and met my birth father, whose drinking
problem sometimes led to violence.

One night, he became abusive again, but that night, my mother’s love rose
to meet it. She packed all our stuff into her little Ford Escort and took
me to the hotel where she worked. The manager let us stay in one of the
rooms until we found a small apartment of our own in East Austin.

Like my students, my mom was a fighter. And she passed that fighting
spirit along to me.

I first ran for the Texas House in 2018 to fight for my constituents —
people like my mom and my students. It was a district no one thought we
could win, but together we flipped a district Donald Trump had won just
two years earlier.

As a legislator, I’ve passed major legislation to fund our neighborhood
schools, expand job opportunities for young adults, and lower the cost of
child care, housing, and prescription drugs.

I’ve led the fight against the billionaire mega-donors that have rigged
the system against working Texas families. And I’m the only member of the
Texas Legislature who has never taken corporate PAC money.

Now, as those same billionaire mega-donors take over the federal
government, we need more fighters in Washington who will take power back
for working people.

I’ve fought for working people — and won. Now, I’m running to take our
fight to the U.S. Senate.

will you consider making a contribution to our campaign today? This fight
requires all of us.
