There are many, many reasons to dunk on James Talarico but, I'll be honest, this may be the best one yet.
Here's the Free Beacon:
Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, 37, has a single checking account that holds up to $50,000 — and he shares it with his mother, a frequent contributor to his political campaigns who pitched in to cover Talarico's moving expenses when he was 32, records show.
Talarico's personal financial disclosure lists a single Wells Fargo checking account with a balance between $15,000 and $50,000. Though Talarico is unmarried, the disclosure indicates that the account is owned jointly. A ‘filer comment' provides clarity: ‘The account is jointly held by the filer and the filer's mother.' Talarico did not disclose any other checking accounts.
Ahh, isn't that cute?
A grown man has his mom pay for his moving expenses, and he gets campaign contributions from her.
To be fair, one could argue that he would represent millennials well in Congress. 😉
It's unclear exactly why Talarico — whose campaign did not respond to a request for comment — shares the account with his mother, but she appears to be helping him, not vice versa ...
There are other signs in addition to the shared checking account that Talarico has received financial help from his parents while serving as a state lawmaker. Talarico describes himself as a self-employed "Education Consultant" in his 2024 and 2025 state-level financial disclosures and lists his parents' home address as his place of business. It's unclear why Talarico used that address, as he purchased a three-bedroom home in Austin for more than $400,000 in 2022, real estate records show. Talarico's campaign did not say whether his parents helped him buy the home.
So precious.
Finally, a Democrat who practices what he preaches. No independence, total reliance on someone else to foot his bills even as a grown man.
Let's get to the dunks, shall we?
The Democrats' quest to discover one liberal man who isn't an absolute weirdo continues!
