He is a little too "churchy" for me. I'm wary but I'll keep an eye on him.

In August 2022, while a member of the Texas House of Representatives, Talarico began pursuing a Master of Divinity at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary.[12]

Talarico is a "deeply religious" Christian and was raised Presbyterian.[3][12] He is active in St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Austin.[46]

In July of 2025, Talarico appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience, where he discussed the influence of faith on his political career.[50]
