James Talarico, candidate for Senate in Texas, manages to raise $27 million in three months
The campaign of James Talarico, Democratic candidate for Senate in Texas, is gaining strength after raising $10 million in just over a month
The conciliatory proposal of James Talarico, candidate for Senate in Texas and who aspires to become a Presbyterian pastor, seems to have resonated with Democratic citizens, raising $27 million in three months.
In 2018, representing the 16th congressional district of Texas, the son of County Judge Pat O'Rourke managed to connect with a broad sector of Democrats and, as a result, raised $80 million.
However, when competing against Republican Ted Cruz, he ended up being defeated by less than three points.
The point is that while Beto O'Rourke raised $6.8 million during the first quarter of the year in which he ran for a Senate seat, James Talarico has already surpassed him by $3.2 million, which is quite remarkable.
What's controversial about the matter is that, in three decades, no Democrat has managed to win an election in the Lone Star State.
“We are building a campaign of working people, “Uniting people beyond partisan lines and racial and religious divisions,” the seminarian often mentions at events where he promotes his campaign.
