Democratic candidates must be bad Christians
Confirmed
In Short: Jordan Walker Ross, best known for his role as Little James in the Christian television series 'The Chosen,' has endorsed Democratic U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico in Texas.
In a video shared on social media, Ross explained his support for Talarico, emphasizing that the candidate represents Christian values.
"You know, a lot of politicians like to talk about Christian values, but you don’t really see that reflected in their legislation or the way that they live," Ross said in the video.
Talarico is competing against Republican candidate Ken Paxton in this year’s general election for Texas’ U.S. Senate seat.
Meanwhile, Democratic candidate for the Texas Senate, James Menefee, has criticized his opponent, Green, for accepting contributions from corporate PACs.
Menefee has also expressed his support for blockchain technology, stating that it offers the potential to increase trust, transparency, and efficiency, provided there are rules to protect consumers.
"At the same time, I believe Citizens United was a mistake and should be overturned, and not a single super PAC should exist," Menefee wrote on his campaign site.
Menefee won his current seat in a special election that extended into a late January runoff, raising over $2 million.
"We’ve built incredible momentum without taking any corporate PAC dollars," Menefee said in an interview.
Far-left primary victories in Texas signal a shift as lifelong Democrat Jamie Metzl urges party leaders to reject Democratic Socialists of America candidates.
