So to summarize - I’m really not sure where you’ve gotten your info about Talarico. But from his “immigrant descent” to his viewpoints on race, I think you need to re-evaluate some sources.
Not to even mention the dozens of debates he held as a teacher and as a member of the state house about: school curriculum and how racism and slavery need to be taught; and his disapproval with several Texas state bills limiting discussion of systemic racism.
He has criticized election district maps he says weaken minority voting power. “It is primarily black and brown, African American and Latino communities across rhe state that they are disenfranchising with this racist and discriminatory gerrymandering.” youtube.com/shorts/2mHXT...
“They divide us by party, by race, by gender, by religion so we don’t notice what they’re doing.” You’re literally framing one of his core principles of only caring about a candidate’s color instead of the overall goal. Interesting.

He has criticized efforts to restrict how schools teach about racism or the civil rights movement, arguing that students should learn: the history of slavery; segregation and Jim Crow; the civil rights movement; ongoing inequality.

So, besides the fact that he literally chose to run BECAUSE Crockett was saying she wouldn’t, let’s break down your claims.
Talarico has argued that: injustice toward marginalized groups is morally unacceptable; public policy should uplift the oppressed; lawmakers have a duty to confront racism
tinyurl.com/Tal26-1 “Crockett was one of the first people I called because I have such respect for her, & she and I are friends, I wanted to make sure that she wasn't looking at running in the Senate race in 2026 & she told me she was focused on her work in Congress & was looking @ running in 2030.”
Man: never claims to be of immigrant descent
You: believes man is of immigrant descent
Me: he is not of immigrant descent
You: i no longer trust man

The Mexican government had a deal that let Anglo Texans settle there with stipulations (ie. No slavery, learn Spanish). Mexico used what is known as the empresario system, where agents recruited settlers from the United States to keep the land productive.
When someone says “8th-generation Texan”, it usually means their family has been in Texas since roughly the mid-1800s, which is most commonly Anglo-American families, not Hispanic ones. Talarico’s birth surname pre-adoption was Causey, of Anglo-American aka British-origin. Talarico name is Italian.
Texas has two very different “old” populations: Tejano Texans have families descended from Spanish settlers from pre-1700; & Anglo Texans arrived in the 1800s (Republic of Texas / early statehood era): roughly 6–8 generations ago.
Final note here: the first line from his “on the issues” immigration page repeats that he is, again, an eighth generation Texan. So what website did you “research and read”?
In fact his website even explains why he has a step father to begin with. You know what his website doesn’t even mention? That his (once again) STEP father is of Italian descent. I’m really confused as to where the hell they got their info.
“I read his website” they say.
Literally the first sentence on his website:
You know who’s closer to “immigrant descendant” than James Talerico?
Ted Cruz. Born in Canada to a Cuban refugee.
Marco Rubio. Both parents are Cuban.
Nikki Haley. Both parents are from India.
Talerico literally is as American as an American can be in terms of direct ancestry: 8 generations.
Your comment gets funnier when you realize Mark Talarico (read as: his *adoptive* *step* father) is an American citizen himself, born and raised. The Italian *immigrant* ancestry you’re focused on is literally *generations* back, like many Americans. What on Earth even was your post?
He’s an “eighth generation Texan” who was adopted by Mark Talarico, whose family is of Italian descent. Being adopted makes you of immigrant descent?
Hey @briamgilbert.bsky.social after watching the newest episode of @umactually.bsky.social, there’s a book you’ll enjoy based on your idea of Fitbits being a video game. It’s very short but I think you’d agree with its thesis!
#DoctorWho Mrs. Flood made a big deal out of calling Belinda “Miss” because she wasn’t married and made note that she is Mrs. Flood because there is a Mr. Flood.
Rearrange the letters in Mister Flood. What do you get? “Lords of Time”
