Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush announced that he's running for attorney general in Texas, setting up a GOP showdown with one of the most high-profile Republican attorneys general in the country, Ken Paxton
"I am proud to announce I am a Republican candidate to be the next Texas attorney general," he said before supporters in Austin. Bush came out swinging in his campaign announcement, taking shots at Paxton, who is currently under indictment for securities fraud and, separately, facing an FBI investigation for abuse of office."Enough is enough, Ken. You've brought way too much scandal and too little integrity to this office," Bush said."It's time to go.
"From defeating Joe Biden's dangerous executive order halting deportations of illegal aliens, to his willingness to stand up for secure elections, Ken Paxton has been and will continue to be the tip of the spear in protecting President Trump's America First principles."Clouding Paxton's run for reelection will be the FBI investigation and separate indictment. Paxton vehemently denies the charges and allegations.
