Talarico Campaign Denies Claim He Was Treated at Mental Health Facility

The campaign says James Talarico was home recovering from the flu as the Ohio facility denied he was ever a patient.

  • On Sunday, the campaign for Texas Senate candidate James Talarico denied allegations he was treated at an Ohio mental health facility, with spokesperson JT Ennis calling the claim a "pathetic conspiracy theory."
  • Conservative influencer Nick Sortor sparked the controversy by claiming Talarico was discharged last week from the Lindner Center of Hope near Cincinnati, citing an alleged hospital employee as his source.
  • Talarico appeared Friday at the Austin City Limits music festival after nine days without a public appearance, consistent with his September 30 announcement that he was diagnosed with the flu.
  • Legal observers noted that confirming a patient's identity without consent constitutes a major HIPAA violation, as Talarico faces Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in the November 3 election.
  • The Senate seat represents over 30 MILLION TEXANS, and polls show a close race between the candidates with Talarico leading in some surveys as the campaign moves forward.
