As Republicans continue battling for their U.S. Senate nomination, Democratic U.S. Senate nominee James Talarico is rolling out his own campaign promises targeted at lowering costs while taking aim at the Trump administration’s war in Iran.
At a gas station in Austin Tuesday, Talarico unveiled a proposal to lower fuel costs by suspending the federal gas and diesel tax until average prices drop to where they were before the U.S.-Israel war in Iran. Last week, in front of a private jet hangar in Houston, he announced a plan to “close billionaire loopholes” by auditing the ultra wealthy, restricting offshore bank accounts and barring business owners from writing off luxury purchases like private jets and yachts — measures he argues would generate billions in additional annual revenue that could be used to cut taxes for middle class Americans.
