Talarico’s Bold Plan for Texas Veterans | Texas News

James Talarico, Senate hopeful in Texas, unveils a bold veteran-focused platform aimed at ending the “new forever war in Iran,” boosting military family support, and overhauling VA services. With Texas home to the largest veteran population in the nation, Talarico pledges to reverse VA layoffs, ensure consistent funding, auto-enroll eligible vets in care, and oppose privatization. He’s tackling critical gaps: expanding telehealth and mental health staffing to combat veteran suicide, promoting non-opioid pain solutions, and reforming transition programs, homeless veteran aid, VA home loans, and education benefits for Guard/Reserve members. He also seeks to protect Gold Star spouses’ benefits and extend TRICARE for military kids to age 26. Facing Ken Paxton in a tightening race, Talarico’s plan positions him as a fighter for veterans’ dignity and national security—with voters watching closely ahead of November.
