Talarico endorsed by questionable progressive group

Talarico says he's 'honored' by endorsement from group that freed man later accused in six killings

Democratic U.S. Senate nominee James Talarico said he was "honored" to receive an endorsement from a progressive group that once bailed out a man later accused of killing six people.

Fox News Digital reported that Talarico welcomed the Texas Organizing Project’s backing of his Senate campaign and praised the group’s long work in Black and Latino communities.

Texas Organizing Project (TOP) posted bail for an individual, Shane James, who was later accused of a mass killing spree in late 2023. Authorities later accused James of a string of attacks in San Antonio and Austin that left six people dead, including his parents.

That record now sits beside a Texas Democrat who is asking voters to send him to Washington while his campaign insists he backs tough bail rules.
