UConn women's basketball star Paige Bueckers expressed support for Texas state representatives James Talarico and Gina Hinojosa following their victories in the 2026 midterm elections. The WNBA prospect shared her endorsement on social media on November 4, 2026, after the Democratic incumbents secured reelection to the Texas House.
Talarico represents District 52 in Williamson County, while Hinojosa serves District 49 in Austin. Both lawmakers have been vocal on education and voting rights issues. Bueckers, a Minnesota native who played college basketball in Connecticut, has previously used her platform to advocate for social causes.
