That response contrasts with a signed 2025 questionnaire submitted to the Stonewall Democrats of Austin, in which Talarico’s campaign wrote that “if elected, Rep. Talarico would sponsor the Equality Act in the U.S. Senate.” He also answered “Yes” when asked by the Communications Workers of America if he would support the bill.
Seems like the facts evolved beyond what the headline’s saying here, but it’s still a pretty bad look that his campaign had to be reminded he’d already made a commitment on this one (like, maybe a staffer got asked this and didn’t have perfect information, but why was it even a question?)
