"This morning I called James and congratulated him on becoming the Senate nominee. Texas is primed to turn blue and we must remain united because this is bigger than any one person. This is about the future of all 30 million Texans and getting America back on track."
"James Talarico has spent years fighting for Texans in the state house, where he went to bat for teachers and students, fought to lower the cost of health care, and took on corruption in politics. Now, he's ready to take that fight to the U.S. Senate."
"As an eighth-generation Texan, former middle school teacher, and Presbyterian seminarian, James will be a fighter for Texans from all walks of life and of all political stripes. In November, Texans will elect a champion for working people: James Talarico."
Rep. Jasmine Crockett conceded defeat in the Democratic Texas Senate primary to Texas State Rep. James Talarico, who won with 53% of the vote compared to Crockett's 46%. Despite receiving endorsement from former Vice President Kamala Harris, Crockett's campaign faced challenges including multiple clashes with reporters and significant media attention favoring Talarico. Crockett lost by more than 150,000 votes. In her concession statement, Crockett called for Democratic unity and commitment to winning in November. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand praised Talarico's record as a state representative, highlighting his work for teachers, students, and healthcare cost reduction.
