TX-SEN, TX-35: Talarico says he won't campaign with Galindo if she wins runoff, condemns remarks as antisemitic
Texas state Representative and U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico says he will not campaign with Democratic congressional candidate Maureen Galindo if she wins the May 26 runoff election in Texas’ 35th Congressional District, which covers San Antonio and surrounding counties.
In a statement to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Talarico condemned remarks Galindo has made publicly during the campaign as antisemitic.
“This antisemitic rhetoric has no place in our politics,” Talarico said. “We need leadership in both parties willing to stand up and call out hate wherever it rears its ugly head.”
Talarico’s campaign later told JTA that if Galindo becomes the Democratic nominee in TX-35, he will not campaign with her.
