Ken Paxton, Republican nominee for U.S. Senate

About Ken Paxton

Ken Paxton has served as Texas Attorney General since 2015. Before that he served in the Texas House of Representatives and then the Texas Senate.

In November 2025 he formally entered the race for U.S. Senate, challenging incumbent Sen. John Cornyn in the Republican primary. In the May 2026 runoff he defeated Cornyn and became the party’s nominee for the November general election.

Supporters describe him as a conservative who takes on federal overreach and the political establishment. Critics point to his legal and ethical controversies, including his 2023 impeachment and acquittal. Voters are encouraged to read both sides and decide for themselves.
