Honored to celebrate Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy at the Austin MLK Community March this morning. As one speaker noted, we are the force that bends the arc toward justice.

Texas won a major lawsuit, but we gave $156 million of the settlement to a private law firm. Why? Because the Attorney General outsourced the job instead of using his 800 staff lawyers. As AG, I’ll recruit the best legal talent, not pay billion-dollar companies to do my job.

Trump’s Chief Ideologue, Stephen Miller, claims "the real world is governed by strength, force, and power." King Arthur taught us this: might does not make right. In a civil society, might is constrained by right. That’s why we have the rule of law. And that’s why we need a good Attorney General.

This is a direct consequence of militarizing law enforcement and dehumanizing immigrants. It’s never been more clear that this is the wrong path for America. Safety comes from law with limits — not force without accountability.

Winning in Texas means showing voters that Democrats are the party of good governance. Texas Democrats are fiscally responsible, honest, and focused on delivering for schools, hospitals, and everyday services — not political stunts. That’s the kind of leadership Texans are ready for.

For 30 years, Republicans have destroyed our constitutional protections to win elections. Our state is less affordable, less innovative, and less safe because of it. I’m running for Attorney General to make our government serve the people, not the powerful.

Rogue Attorney General smacked down for overstepping his legal authority. Again. www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/art...

When Republicans tried to create another tax loophole for billionaires, I fought back. They passed a bill letting people make millions on gold without paying a cent in capital gains taxes. I opposed tax loopholes as a State Senator — and I’ll close them as Attorney General.

For 10 years, Paxton has used the Attorney General's Office for corruption and political warfare. But under the right leadership, it can be as powerfully good as it has been bad. The AG doesn't serve Abbott or Trump. We go to work for Texans on Day 1 when I take office.

The Attorney General is an independent, executive office for a reason. It’s supposed to stand up for Texans — not bow to political pressure or abuse its power. This is our chance to return the office to the people it was meant to serve.

Texas Republicans are breaking the law — again. Without any legal authority, the Comptroller removed women and minorities from a state program supporting small businesses. They're attacking hardworking Texans to destroy the separation of powers. It's time for new leadership.

The Attorney General is suing to end state work-study programs because they aren't funding Christian instruction. Yet again, Republican leaders are putting a political agenda above working Texans. As AG, I will expand opportunity, not fight the programs helping people succeed.

The Attorney General should be the people’s attorney, not the president’s lapdog. Honored to talk at #Tribfest about my vision for a Texas AG that takes on price gougers, roots out corruption, and honors the rule of law. That’s the job, and it’s time Texas had a good lawyer.

BREAKING: Attorney General Paxton filed an appeal to uphold Republicans’ racist congressional maps. These are the same maps a Trump-appointed judge rejected for violating the constitution. Texans deserve an AG who defends their rights, not one fighting to take away their voice.

This week, a Trump-appointed judge tossed out Republicans’ gerrymandered maps. Another judge halted Republicans' law forcing the Ten Commandments into classrooms. Two courts, two losses — I think it's time for a Texas Attorney General who can actually read the Constitution.

I just filed to run for Texas Attorney General with my daughter by my side. I’m running because I believe that the Attorney General should stand between Texans and anyone who would exploit them — whether it’s a corporation or a politician. I will always fight for you. Let's do this!

Texas Republicans had a bad day in court. Federal judges stopped: ❌Their unconstitutional, racist redistricting ❌The unconstitutional law forcing the 10 Commandments into our classrooms. We need an Attorney General who understands the Constitution and fights to defend it.

Thank you @dentontogether.bsky.social and @untdems.bsky.social for hosting the first Texas Attorney General Democratic Primary debate of the 2026 election cycle. The wind is at our backs. It's time to turn Texas Blue.

Every Veteran's Day, I think of the sacrifices veterans make to uphold the American ideal. As a psychologist with the Veterans Administration, my dad spent his entire career serving the mental health needs of veterans.

The Valley is Blue. Enjoyed a local brew and catching up with the Hidalgo County Democratic Party and party chair Richard Gonzales. #txlege #NJ4AG

Well, I was going to file a complaint with the Office of Special Counsel, about HUD and other federal agencies flagrantly violating the Hatch Act and the 1st Amendment by posting Republican wing-nut propaganda on a taxpayer-funded official government web sites, but…

Sen. Nathan Johnson, D-Dallas, said he aims to keep the AG’s office from being “a political tool for the far-right” – which he believes it has become under Ken Paxton. Read the full interview from the Longview News Journal. news-journal.com/2025/09/27/d...

Jaw-dropping illegal activity by HUD, violating Hatch Act and First Amendment: using federal taxpayer funded website for ideological purposes. This is not okay, and not of small significance. #txlege

We have a problem when we take our law enforcement and dehumanize them and turn them into instruments of fear, we break public trust. Public safety depends on a strong, positive relationship between officers and the community. I spoke with CNN’s John Berman about the Dallas ICE shooting.

NBC News: Johnson told NBC News this is not a time to foment further division in the country by politicizing the shooting and making assumptions. He described the shooting as “absolutely horrifying and tremendously sad” and extended his condolences to all of those involved. Read more:
