The Omega Network for Action endorses James Talarico, U.S. Senate, Texas. James is an eighth-generation Texan, former middle school teacher, and Presbyterian seminarian. As a legislator, he passed major legislation to fund neighborhood schools, expand job opportunities for young adults, and lower the cost of childcare, housing, and prescription drugs.
He fought against billionaire mega-donors that have rigged the system against working Texas families. He has consistently opposed the influence of billionaire donors and refused PAC funding.
James believes our economy and politics are broken. He believes the biggest divide in this country is not left vs. right. It’s top vs. bottom. Billionaires want us looking left and right at each other instead of looking up at them. His platform addresses among others:
Corruption and Democracy. Billionaire mega-donors influence politics through campaign contributions, resulting in tax loopholes that benefit them at the expense of public programs and services. This corruption is perpetuated by politicians who engage in gerrymandering, insider trading, and cover-ups.
Taxes and Cost of Living. He emphasizes the need for a government that prioritizes working people over corporations. He highlights his legislative achievements in reducing costs for prescription drugs, housing, and childcare, and outlines his priorities for the U.S. Senate, including creating a fairer tax system, increasing wages, and lowering healthcare, housing, and grocery costs.
Public Education. James emphasizes his commitment to public education, including increasing teacher pay, expanding early childhood education, and limiting pre-K class sizes.
The Omega Network for Action encourages every voter in Texas to support James Talarico for U.S. Senate, Texas. Share his story, help raise awareness, and participate in the electoral process.
