James Talarico is running for the Texas US Senate seat currently held by Republican John Cornyn. The Democrats and Republicans have seperate primaries coming up March 3rd.
I randomly have one degree of separation from Talarico and have been hearing positive things about his tenure in the Texas State House directly from folks who grew up with him for months.
Pretty crazy to now see him getting booted off the air by the FCC.
This Texas US Senate race is clearly going to be a BIG one with a lot of media coverage because Jasmine Crocket is also running in the March 3rd primary for a shot at taking down a typically Republican held Senate seat.
I think in this race Crocket likely has the most name recognition among voters under 40 as she's been on the national stage and an early adopter of social media.
This will be an interesting primary and election cycle
