Current Revolt has obtained the name and details of the girlfriend of Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico.

Controversy has surrounded the James Talarico campaign amid allegations that he is gay, a vegan, and other unverified rumors.

Recently, the San Antonio Current interviewed Talarico, in which he stated that he is in a committed relationship with a woman he has been dating for the past four years. According to Talarico, he met this woman while she was serving as his Chief of Staff.

San Antonio Current:

Talarico’s campaign said he met his girlfriend when she was the Chief of Staff in his Texas House legislative office, and that they’ve been together for four years. After they developed feelings for each other, she left the office to pursue other opportunities and have been together ever since.

“We became best friends, and then we fell in love, and we’ve been together ever since,” he added.

Many people, including political pundits, have dismissed the veracity of the reporting, claiming that Talarico doesn’t actually have a girlfriend.

A different outlet even chose to publish what they allege is the location of her home.
