IF THIS IS JASMINE'S FIRST TIME RUNNING FOR THE SENATE, THIS SHOULD BE A LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR HER. I WAS ROOTING FOR HER (I LIVE IN ATLANTA, GA WEST END) BUT, SHE IS NOT DOWN. GOD HAS ANOTHER PLAN FOR HER. (REMEMBER ANOTHER REP RAN FOR SENATE THE FIRST TIME A LONG TIME AGO AND LOST IN CHICAGO. YOU KNOW WHO THAT WAS? *BARACK OBAMA*. BUT HE WENT ON TO BECOME PRESIDENT!) SO HEADS UP HIGH JASMINE SWEETIE! YOU GOT THINGS TO DO! CONGRATS TO JAMES TALARICO BUT JASMINE IS NOT OUT.

💯 Mr. Roland, no one should wait for the voting date. Vote early to avoid the shenanigans and for safely reasons too.

Talarico had grass root contributions. We as black folks need to own our lack of contributions

I volunteered with the Crocket campaign in Harris County. I didn’t see or know of any people on the ground. I heard about an event on the day that Rickey Smiley was in Houston. I dropped lit that night for her at the Toyota Center. I worked 2 phone banks and I blocked walked. The total number of participants was less than 100 on the days that I volunteered. I didn’t see anything about her campaign before early voting started. There was no signs in my neighborhood except mine. In Harris County, we could vote at any polling place but on Election Day you must vote at your precinct. The Democratic Party in Texas is weak. We, Black Voters, have to know the rules.
