Black civic group blasts Talarico campaign over canceled event: ‘Deeply disappointed’
Fox News ^ | 10/16/26 | Leo Briceno, Charles Creitz

Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico is facing lingering frustration from inside his own political backyard over the cancellation of an event that was supposed to take place on Oct. 5 with a Black civic-service group.

The Central Texas African American Civic Engagement Symposium (CT-AACES) expressed deep frustration in an email, sent to the Talarico campaign and obtained by Fox News Digital, after the campaign cancelled an event – which had 325 confirmed registrants – during Talarico's two-week absence from the campaign trail due to illness.

CT-AACES said the cancellation left them with "irrecoverable financial loss," and that Talarico's campaign had not engaged in rescheduling efforts.

"While we understand Representative Talarico’s health required priority, we are deeply disappointed by the campaign’s decision to issue a flat cancellation rather than committing to a rescheduled date," the email reads. "It was a missed opportunity for Representative Talarico to directly address community skepticism and demonstrate the sincerity of his commitment to Central Texas African Americans."

The cancellation is the most recent instance of the tensions that Talarico's campaign has faced with the Black community. It also casts doubt on the effectiveness of his efforts to reach Black voteBlack voters through a $25 million outreach pledge aimed at mobilizing black voters is fully reaching the ground.

If and when Rogers wins he needs to give special thanks to the black community for not falling for the woke Karens out there. Despite their challenges they realize this country is the best hope for them and not the communists.

The white boy from “Taxes” is relying too much on his young Oompah Loompahs to show him how to operate in the real adult world.

That’s a group name decided by committee of ever there was one. My question is there a hyphen in the middle of the acronym? Maybe because it’s so long that one has to rest in the middle of articulating it

No, no, no! The proper trite leftist tagline is that it’s JUST LIKE Selma, or it’s WORSE than Jim Crow. Or you can just say it’s Jim Crow 2.0. The phrases are interchangeable, so you can mix and match

Most likely they canceled it to keep the BLM contingency from screaming at him.

"People who vote for Talarico need to get used to disappointment"

People who vote for Talafreako have given aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.
