Product placement

James Talarico (politician): is the subject of the endorsement, and the video is a political ad for his campaign. Removing his name would change the entire purpose of the video. NEW AMERICAN DREAM (political organization): appears on a podium, likely a sponsor or host of the event. Removing it would not change the video's content, but might affect sponsor recognition.

Call to action

Vote for James Talarico in November.

Transcript

I am ashamed of the fact that Ken Paxton is even on the ballot. But I'm going to have to tell you right now as a Texan, I am ashamed of the fact that Ken Paxton is even on the ballot. Well, let me help him. He has avoided trial on securities fraud charges. He agreed to pay whistleblowers to resolve claims that they had. He was impeached by the members of his own party on allegations of bribery and abuse of office. His divorce proceedings have also received widespread publicity. Somehow he has managed to become a multimillionaire while serving in public office. Now, he reportedly owns 15 homes across this state and this country. No wonder he can't figure out where to vote. Finally, if character, if integrity and accountability matter to you, and if having someone who will work for Texas and not for himself, then we must elect James Talarico in November.
