The Austin Stateman endorses Talarico !!
In Democratic bid for Senate, Talarico models the leadership this moment demands
By American-Statesman Editorial Board,
Opinion staff - Feb 10, 2026
In our view, the best Democratic contender to meet this moment is state Rep. James Talarico. He and his primary opponent, U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, both offer serious choices to voters, but Talarico’s approach reflects a conviction that political leaders should focus on building trust in a deeply divided moment.
