Claimant: Texas PAC
Claim: Democratic U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico “supported using taxpayer dollars for sex change surgeries on young children.”
Rating: FALSE
Explanation: Talarico voted against a 2023 Texas bill that banned gender-reassignment procedures for minors, but there is no evidence he voted to use taxpayer money for such surgeries. He said he opposed the bill because it was overly broad and could affect other medical care, and his campaign says he opposes gender-reassignment surgery for minors. (politifact.com)
