Texans are tired of business as usual. Billionaires keep getting richer and richer while weāre struggling to make ends meet.
We need elected leaders who will create an economy that works for all of us. Thatās why working people support @JamesTalarico for the U.S. Senate!

Houston is fired up. š„
IAM members held a #WorkersvsBillionaires rally with @TexasAFLCIO, @gcaflcio, and community allies, then knocked doors for @AFLCIO endorsed candidates.
Workers build this economy. We won't let #billionaires buy elections in Texas. #Unionstrong

These 16 Texas candidates were union members before ever running for office.

A 58-year-old letter carrier collapsed & died on his mail route in triple-digit heat. He's the third DFW letter carrier to die since 2023.
Yet House Republicans JUST advanced a bill to block the federal heat rule.
Working shouldn't be a death sentence.
