re: How is Talarico leading Paxton 51% to 48%?

I’m never going to agree with everything Talarico stands for politically, but there are plenty of positions he has that I think a lot of people are going to agree with: 1. Banning congressional stock trading 2. Banning presidential pardons 3. Instituting term limits on members of Congress The biggest thing to me is that he is someone who genuinely cares about public education and I feel like he will fight to help kids succeed more in the classroom. Again, there are going to be plenty of things I disagree with him on, and I understand why people will not vote for him. But to me, he seems like a genuine person that at least cares about trying to do the right thing, even if it’s misguided to me at times.
That’s kind of the problem. The only actual positions you can point to are three milquetoast, broadly popular campaign promises that sound fantastic in a stump speech and have virtually no chance of ever being implemented in DC. “Ban congressional stock trading, ban presidential pardons, impose term limits.” Great. Sign me up. Now tell me something that actually distinguishes Talarico from anyone else capable of reading a focus-group poll.
I’m more interested in the public education claim. You say he “genuinely cares” about public education and will help kids succeed in the classroom. Specifically, what has Talarico proposed that makes you believe that? And don’t bother if the answer is simply another collection of government services, spending increases, and freebies targeted at “underprivileged” students. I’m asking what he wants to do to improve the actual quality of education and academic outcomes.
I’m a father of young children, one of whom is now in the public school system. This isn’t an abstract political talking point for me. I’m genuinely interested in what someone proposing to “fix” public education thinks is actually broken and how they intend to fix it.
Because “he seems genuine and cares” isn’t a policy position.

Funny, I’ve also recently decided that local and senatorial elections deserve more of my attention. Being a husband and father has a way of doing that.
Paxton is a shitty candidate. I wouldn’t trust him with a church picnic raffle.
Talarico, though, is a slimy, weak, spineless progressive who has figured out that openly running as one in Texas is a tougher sell, so now we get the carefully packaged “reasonable moderate who works across the aisle” routine. Anyone naive enough to fall for this has my sympathy.
Paxton isn’t anywhere close to my perfect candidate. But between the two, I’d rather vote to preserve the Texas my children and their children inherit than help turn the rest of the state into Austin or Houston.
So I guess we’ve both suddenly discovered the importance of these elections.
Shame my vote cancels yours out.

gates. property taxes. very few places to rent. and HOA’s committed to not allowing trash to infiltrate. so a hope and a prayer with the understanding it may only be a matter of time before it’s time to sell and move again. I’m in the same boat.
Imagine how fast it would have happened if they extended Ella over Cypress Creek to 1960.

you’re technically correct. but so is he, same situation for us. We live in “Spring”, but live in Montgomery County. Spring in Harris County is going to shite in a hurry.
20 years ago - great place to be
10 years ago - good outside of a few areas
now - get out now, no place to raise a family.
