“If qualifications, character, ability or integrity matter at all in the election for Texas attorney general, Sam Houston will be the overwhelming choice. Ken Paxton has demonstrated a fundamental lack of honesty and profound disrespect for Texas voters. Paxton doesn’t deserve Texans’ votes or respect. Sam Houston has earned both.”
Here’s what the Star-Telegram said in their endorsement:
- “The Republican nominee, lawyer and state Sen. Ken Paxton of McKinney, is undeserving of consideration.”
- “In May, state securities regulators found Paxton sent clients to an investment firm without registering or disclosing his own paid role.”
- “No candidate to lead “the people’s law firm” should ever have misled a client, a state board or the people of Texas.”
- “No matter how this election turns out, the district attorneys in Travis and other counties should decide as soon as possible whether to investigate Paxton or bring a case to a grand jury.”
- “The Star-Telegram Editorial Board recommends Sam Houston for attorney general.”
