Controversy hasn’t stopped Ken Paxton yet. Will a Senate run be different?
Ken Paxton, the Texas attorney general, has ridden through controversy for 12 years in office. He now leads polling in Texas’ Republican primary for the U.S. Senate, suggesting strong support despite ongoing criticism.
Observers question whether a Senate bid will differ in intensity or ramifications from his tenure as attorney general, given his controversial track record. The race remains navigated amid political polarization and Paxton’s high-profile profile.
Campaign dynamics, fundraising, and endorsements are likely to influence the primary as opponents scrutinize his ethics investigations and legal battles, while Paxton touts his record on conservative priorities.
