Today would’ve been my father’s 95th birthday. In search of a better life, he came to America with only $2.43 and a Korean-English dictionary. He had no friends or family here. Like many immigrants, he dreamt of the promise of what this country could offer. Each day I work to honor his memory.

James Talarico @jamestalarico.bsky.social is simply 1 of the greatest, most inspirational candidates to emerge in years, running against Ken Paxton, one of the most disgracefully corrupt politicians of all-time.
