Democratic U.S. Senate nominee James Talarico has expressed opposition to transgender student-athletes competing in girls' sports under certain conditions. He stated that he would oppose their participation if it risks safety or fairness.

This stance appears to be a reversal of his previous positions. As a former public school teacher, Talarico emphasized his concern for student athletes and students. Further details on Talarico's statement are available, including his comments on Fox News.

His campaign spokesperson had also previously addressed the issue in a written statement. Talarico's revised stance on the matter has been made public, with his statement echoing concerns about safety and fairness in sports.
