flag Former Texas teacher James Talarico runs for Senate, pushing for school funding and mental health support after student trauma exposed systemic flaws.

flag James Talarico, a former Texas middle school teacher in San Antonio’s poorest neighborhood, is running for U.S. Senate, citing his classroom experiences as the foundation of his political career. flag He taught at Rhodes Middle School through Teach for America, building strong relationships with students and advocating for those facing poverty and trauma. flag A pivotal moment came when a student, Justin, lost access to therapy after budget cuts and was removed from school, leading Talarico to believe systemic change requires federal action. flag He now campaigns on increasing public school funding, protecting students’ mental health, and opposing federal school voucher programs, arguing that economic inequality, not political division, defines America’s greatest challenge.
