That fellow would find himself being called a nickname for one of his body parts (hint: starts with a D, ends in K).

Probably more like toothpick.

Dem. Senate candidate James Talarico’s mysterious girlfriend revealed — and she’s vegan
By Josh Christenson and

NY Post

He’s no Tofu Talarico — but he’s got a tofu-loving girlfriend.

Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico’s mysterious beau is a vegan political lobbyist who previously worked as his chief of staff, The Post has learned.

Brianna Menard, 30, describes herself as a “committed vegan,” yoga buff and cat mom who likes “dancing the night away” at local gay bar Cheer Up Charlies in Austin, according her bio at a local food coop, where she serves on the board.

“James is not and never has been a vegan, much to his girlfriend’s chagrin. As the saying goes, true love conquers all,” said Talarico spokesman JT Ennis in a statement Friday.

Despite Menard’s dietary preferences, Talarico — a state lawmaker who dominated the Lone Star State’s Senate Democratic primary in March — has dismissed rumors of his own vegan-ness as “fighting words” after his Republican rival, former Texas attorney general Ken Paxton, accused him of being meat-free. ...

Sorry, I'm not buying what he's trying to sell here.

Low-T alarico is shown on a video eating BBQ ribs. It is a weak attempt to convince Texans he is not a gay ass vegan young boy crotch sniffer.

It is hilarious.

I just I had my dreaded 3 hour phone call with my Austin sibling. They worked in the same area of the capital as Paxton and of course they hate Paxton. They are going to send money to Talarico.....total insanity. I mentioned all of the crap Talarico stands for, which they don't agree with but are going to vote against Paxton. I give up...... There's something in the Austin water.

Looking at his stance on those issues...a 99.9% chance.

Every ad you see is a few cents wasted by Talarico....lol. You're doing your part without lifting a finger!

That's why I keep deleting DNC e-mails (often unread) instead of hitting 'unsubscribe'. That, and the more voters they think they have the less they will have stacked up in boxes under the table or in the van outside.

Texas Democrat Senate Candidate James Talarico Says Bible ‘Silent on Abortion’

Texas Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico, who is running against Republican state Attorney General Ken Paxton, claimed during an interview released on Monday that the Bible is “silent on abortion.”

Talarico, who claims to be a Christian and is a Presbyterian seminarian, used his faith to defend the killing of unborn babies through abortion, telling Jamie Kern Lima he does not believe the issue is “a place for politicians.”

“I don’t believe it’s a place for the state,” Talarico said. “And that’s a belief I hold not despite my faith, but because of my faith. Jesus never talks about abortion. The Bible is silent on abortion. And when that happens with a social issue as important as abortion, we Christians have to take scripture as a whole.”

She looks comfortable yet very posed. He looks awkward. Maybe it’s the long sleeves with shorts.
The bandana, since it’s TX, is an interesting choice.
You’d think they’d have far more affectionate pictures as a couple, why choose one that looks like a cringe photo-op?

That Talarico's camp released this hard-to-believe information (dancing at gay bars, really?) may be a distraction, as this tweeter observes. We already know JT has said some weird things about children, e.g., texting children late at night:

Communists stick together.
James Talarico has voted NO on every medical freedom bill in Texas.
His former COS Brianna Menard now works for TEXPAC, the pro-mandate, pro-abortion, pro-censorship political arm of the Texas Medical Association.

Yes, his gay bar-frequenting "girlfriend" also is his former chief of staff.

For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb.
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well.
My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written

Psalm 139:13-16

But they mingled with the Gentiles and learned their works;
They served their idols, which became a snare to them.
They even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons,
And shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters,
Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; and the land was polluted with blood.
Thus they were defiled by their own works, and played the harlot by their own deeds.

Talarico Faces Questions About Relationship With Former Staffer, Abortion Lobbyist 

Texas Scorecard by Brandon Waltens June 1, 2026

The Democrat Senate candidate says he began dating former chief of staff Brianna Menard after she left his office, but the campaign declined to answer additional questions about staff relationships and lawmakers dating lobbyists.

As Democrat U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico is now publicly discussing a long-term romantic relationship that he previously kept private, questions are emerging about when the relationship began and whether it overlapped with his girlfriend’s employment in his legislative office.

Recently, Talarico revealed that he has been dating the same woman for roughly four years.

Based on public records, social media posts, and legislative employment histories, that woman has been identified as Brianna Menard, a former top aide who worked in Talarico’s office before later becoming a lobbyist for the Texas Medical Association.

Legislative employment records show Menard served in Talarico’s office for several years, rising from legislative director to chief of staff before departing in early 2023.

The timeline has drawn scrutiny because Talarico has publicly stated the relationship has lasted approximately four years. Menard remained employed in his office until early 2023, meaning a four-year relationship would overlap with at least part of her tenure as his chief of staff.

The Talafreakco Menace

Lawrence Person's BattleSwarm Blog 6/1/2026

Now that Ken Paxton is officially the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate, we can finally turn our full attention to the absolute freakshow the Democrats have selected to run against him.

In case you hadn’t noticed, James Talarico is an cringey weirdo who is deeply out of step with the state he wants to represent. So here’s a roundup.
Don’t be fooled by desperate attempts to spin Talarico as a moderate.

After cruising to the Democrat nomination for U.S. Senate in March, James Talarico now appears focused on a different challenge: convincing Texas general election voters he is more moderate than the progressive activist Republicans have spent years watching online.

Republicans are already framing the effort as a “moderate media makeover” ahead of what is expected to become the most expensive Senate race in U.S. history.

During an interview with CBS News the day after Paxton won the Republican Senate runoff, officially setting the general-election matchup, Talarico was asked about his assertion that there are six sexes and a 2021 statement in which he said, “God is non-binary.”

“What did you mean by that?” the interviewer asked. “Do you regret describing it that way?”

“God can’t be defined by human categories,” replied Talarico. “There are some statements I’ve made that I regret. Ken Paxton is intentionally clipping my cringey comments.”

Yeah, because he said them. Why are they cringey? Because they reflect Talarico’s empty-headed, far-left social justice warrior blatherings. If he didn’t mean them, why did he say them? Was he lying then, or is he lying now? Or is he, like so many Democrat politicians, simply “post-truth” and willing to say anything he thinks people want to hear?

In one recent appearance on the Texas Take podcast, Talarico attempted to downplay his past support for gun control measures, insisting that “I’m not interested in taking anyone’s guns.”

I seem to remember a lot of similar statements from Colorado and Virginia Democrats who, after getting elected, immediately started trying to take people’s guns.
