Friends,
The New York Times covered James Talarico’s campaign this morning, citing a Vote Common Good event where he made the case against Christian Nationalism from inside the church.
It’s the kind of coverage we’ve come to expect when our work is making an impact.
|
The stakes couldn’t be higher than they are right now, with MAGA voices openly using the language of holy war to sell military aggression abroad in Iran and persecution at home.
The Times piece zeroed in on a moment from our January event, when a Fort Worth pastor told James she worries about whether politicians should invoke Christianity at all.
His answer: “When you read the Gospels, Jesus certainly wasn’t neutral. He took a stand against the wealthy and the powerful on behalf of the marginalized.”
The donors and supporters of Vote Common Good — you! — are the reason hundreds of faith leaders were in that room, asking the hard questions, holding a future U.S. Senator accountable. It’s because of you that The New York Times reported on it today.

In a time when it seems like we have a stream of bad news, that’s a big reason to be proud.
James is the Democratic nominee for a Senate seat in Texas that hasn’t been filled by a Democrat since 1988.
His campaign challenging what he calls the “heretical” takeover of Christianity by the political right has already ignited fury among MAGA, including being called “evil” and “demonic” on the Charlie Kirk Show.
His Colbert interview calling Christian Nationalism “the worship of power in the name of Christ” went viral with nearly 10 million views, after the FCC pressured CBS to block the segment from airing on television.
The country is watching and we’re just getting started.
We’re working to bring James over the finish line in November, and we’re simultaneously working with more than 40 congressional candidates across 17 states to flip the House blue in 2026.
