Talarico Struggles to Energize Black Voters

Washington Sun: “Texas state Rep. James Talarico is attempting to gain ground with Texas’ 2.7 million Black voters, who are strongholds in cities like Houston and Dallas, as he seeks to become the first Democrat elected statewide in Texas in more than three decades.”

“But some strategists and local lawmakers think Talarico is falling short — criticism that has plagued him since the primary — and that an enthusiasm gap from Black voters could make the difference on whether he is able to beat state Attorney General Ken Paxton, the Republican candidate, next week.”
