TX-SEN: Talarico brings in nearly $7M with latest haul for Texas Senate race

[RandySF]

Texas state Rep. James Talarico (D) hauled in nearly $7 million in the fourth quarter of fundraising last year in the Texas Senate race, raking in more than $13 million since launching his bid in September, his campaign announced Friday.

His campaign said he raised $6.8 million between October and December and said the more than $13 million he’s hauled in overall came from more than 215,000 individual donors.

His team said Talarico accepted no money from corporate PACs and that 98 percent of the donations he’s received since he launched have been small-dollar donations — a maximum of $100. Overall, he’s received contributions from donors in all 50 states and 240 of Texas’s 254 counties.

“With the help of more than 215,000 neighbors, we are building a campaign to win the primary, win the general, and deliver for working people across Texas,” Talarico said in a statement.

1. I really like him

Think he has a chance against Cornyn.

2. I sure hope so.

It would be so nice to have a Dem from Texas
in the Senate!

3. Although I also like Jasmine Crockett

And the heat she brings, I think Mr. T has a better chance pulling in some cross over votes.

4. I know. I feel the same way.

I absoutely love Jasmine, but I think
Talarico has a better chance of winning...
and getting a Democrat in the Senate
is vital.

7. She can beat Cruz next time

[leftieNanner]

8. Excellent idea! Nt

[SSJVegeta]

5. Yeah!!

6. But Jasmine Crockett has been tougher on Trump

and the other Republicans.

10. I love Jasmine

I also acknowledge that this is red state Texas and she already had two strikes against her with racist sexist voters even before she started calling out Trump. I personally think Talarico has a stronger chance of winning that seat, although I acknowledge that it's a longshot for either of them. This state disappoints me every time. Beto came the closest anyone has come and he was still 3% behind Cruz (and he's a white guy. who did a crazy amount of campaigning.)

11. Harris was also tough on Trump

Unfortunately that alone isn’t the best recipe for victory

9. I really like Talarico!
