4. Sad but true.

I liked them both but I voted for Talarico. I’m not going to slight him because he’s White. I think he is smart and quite capable and he was in the race first.

Crockett is amazing but many are turned off by her manner of dress, her brashness and her speech. Yes, absolutely racism plays a role.

Like you, I want to win!!! Only by winning can we even begin to start to change the inequity. It’s going to take a step at a time realistically in Texas. Tonight, I believe we have taken that first step.

I sincerely hope that Crockett voters will support Talarico in the general. Had the outcome been different, I would support her in the general without question.
