James Talarico Voted Against Bills Targeting CCP Influence in Texas, Including Popular Measure Barring Chinese Nationals From Buying Farmland

Left-wing Texas Senate candidate James Talarico opposed a series of 2025 bills in the Texas house aimed at curbing Chinese Communist Party influence in the United States, including one that restricted Chinese nationals' purchases of Texas farmland. Before opposing the tough-on-China measures, Talarico supported a resolution that condemned the use of the term "China Virus" during the COVID-19 pandemic, claiming it was racist against Chinese nationals.
