James Talarico is a Democratic state representative who was first elected to the Texas House in 2018.1 His campaign website describes him as an eighth-generation Texan, a former middle school teacher, and a Presbyterian seminarian.1 Before running for office, he taught sixth grade language arts at Rhodes Middle School on the west side of San Antonio, the website says.1
In a Community Impact questionnaire, Talarico said his top priority is tackling corruption to bring down costs, including banning corporate PACs.2 He said he would pass a cost-of-living tax cut, take on drug and health care companies to lower prices, and stop data centers from driving up utility costs.2 His campaign website says he is the only member of the Texas Legislature who has never taken corporate PAC money.1
