He's been quickly gaining prominence in Texas over the last year or so and when you hear him speak it's obvious why. Texas politics are different from the politics of deep blue states, so when you have a candidate like this who has great policy positions and can speak to a broader electorate in the state, it's important to take note. He's running for Senate against longtime TX senator Cornyn, and will be going up against failed Senate candidate from the last cycle Collin Allred in the primary, presumably. I know the prospect of Texas turning blue has become a meme at this point, but this is a candidate who can actually push through imo (beto had a national profile but was DOA in Texas because of his gun stance, Allred turned out to be another scared Republican light democratic candidate whose main campaign message was "I played in the nfl"). I initially discovered James this last summer when a THC ban was proposed by the state government and he was a strong advocate against the ban (the bill was ultimately vetoed). https://twitter.com/joeroganhq/status/1975516462446936343 https://twitter.com/weareronin47/status/1975251960195379284 --- ? <cite>Fin_Dawg_004 posted [p:986689992] in Meet James...

Hes been on Rogan and has had various appearances on MSNBC and CNN in the last few weeks. Hopefully his momentum continues to build.
