James Talarico is heavily in the media spotlight as he protests against the redistricting efforts in Texas that he believes would favor Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterms. Currently in Illinois, he is avoiding the Texas Capitol to break quorum with other Democratic representatives. Their absence is intentional to hinder voting on redistricting. Despite being away, Talarico continues to serve his constituents by maintaining communication with his team in Texas. His efforts reflect a commitment to shining a light on issues affecting his district and the broader political climate.
It's an intense work road trip. I had a journalist ask me what I was going to do on my break. And this is the break. It's the worst break I've ever had, because we have been working around the clock here, talking to media and talking to our constituents about what's happening in Texas, shining a national spotlight on this redistricting power grab.
Even though we're not in Texas, we're still serving our constituents. I've been on the phone with my team back in the Capitol, ensuring that the folks in our district have everything they need.
