Interesting candidate who seems suited to Texas. He's a devout Christian, wears his faith on his sleeve but not in an off-putting manner. He firmly believes his faith guides, even demands he help his neighbors and give back to society. If I recall correctly, he was formerly a middle school teacher. He strongly believes in the separation of church and state and calls out what he sees as gross hypocrisy in the Republican Party's performance Christianity, a faux faith devoid of the basic tenants of Christianity--love, forgiveness, acceptance.

Talarico is a good communicator and comes across as absolutely genuine, authentic.

Definitely someone to watch.
