James Talarico: I want to ban Super PACs. I want to cap campaign contributions. I don’t think members of Congress should be allowed to buy and sell stocks. We have to end insider trading in both political parties

James Talarico: I don't take corporate PAC money. I'm running to ban super PACs and corporate PACs so billionaires aren't spending unlimited secret money on our political campaigns.

Billionaires and super PACs have made the 2026 midterm the most expensive election EVER — eclipsing even the 2024 election
Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

This race is a big eye opener of how Super PACs are influencing our politics. There were massive amounts of money spent on this primary. Ever since Citizens United, we can’t count on some politicians being indebted to special interests of these PACs.

Republicans Strategery:
1. Let’s condition all our grassroots donors to send their money to the PACs of a guy who isn’t running.
2. Siphoning them away from giving to candidates who are on the ballot.
3. Then take that guy with a 38% approval & make the election all about him.
