Actress Eva Longoria is preparing to step onto the campaign stage for James Talarico, the Texas Democrat running for U.S. Senate whom the source describes as a radical figure on the left. The Desperate Housewives star is scheduled to join him in San Antonio on Saturday, according to a report.

Talarico is due to appear at Club 1902 in the first of two events planned for the Alamo City that day, the Current reported. The supplied report does not provide further details about the second event.

The appearance will not mark Longoria’s first show of support for the candidate. She had already endorsed Talarico during his “Latinos con Talarico” event last month.

Longoria emphasized the local stakes of the contest in a statement announcing her planned appearance. “This election, sometimes people think it’s just about Washington, and it’s not,” she said.

“It’s about our Texan families, our neighborhoods, our businesses and our schools. And it’s about building a good life right here in Texas. None of that happens if we sit on the sidelines, and none of that happens if we don’t put James into office.”

Her statement presented the election as a decision affecting communities, businesses, schools, neighborhoods, and families across Texas. It also directly urged supporters to participate rather than remain on the sidelines.

Longoria has personal ties to the state and the city where she is expected to appear. The source describes her as a Corpus Christi native who lived in San Antonio from 2005 until 2011 during her marriage to Spurs star Tony Parker.

Beyond her television career, Longoria as a highly partisan political activist. It says she recently accused Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers of “murdering” U.S. citizens.

The source also points to claims Longoria made on social media in June. She promoted what it characterizes as a false conspiracy theory alleging that ICE had “raided” an elementary school graduation ceremony.

Her political opposition to President Trump is another central element of critical framing. In 2024, according to the source, Longoria admitted that she had left the United States and moved to Spain because she hated Trump so much.

It also revisits Longoria’s activism during the pandemic. It describes her as a major advocate for lockdowns and forced vaccinations during that period.

The source further claims that Longoria pleaded for the U.N. to invade the United States to enforce pandemic measures. No additional details about that plea are included in the supplied material.

Longoria’s participation places a prominent television actress alongside Talarico at the planned San Antonio gathering. The report presents Saturday’s appearance as another public step following the endorsement she delivered at the “Latinos con Talarico” event last month.

The Club 1902 event is scheduled to open a two-event day for Talarico in San Antonio. Longoria’s announced presence gives the first gathering a celebrity component as the Democrat continues his U.S. Senate campaign.

Her statement keeps its focus on Texas families and institutions, while the article surrounding it takes a sharply critical view of her broader activism. That contrast defines the treatment of her latest move into Texas electoral politics.

Saturday’s rally will bring together Talarico’s Senate campaign and one of its most recognizable celebrity supporters. Longoria has made her objective explicit, telling supporters that the goals she outlined cannot happen unless voters put Talarico into office.
