Democrats Joe Jaworski, Nathan Johnson Announce Texas Attorney General Bids

Two prominent Democrats, former Galveston Mayor Joe Jaworski and State Senator Nathan Johnson, have announced their campaigns for Texas attorney general. Jaworski, running for the second time, emphasizes his commitment to fighting preventable catastrophes, improving schools, and affordable health care, while criticizing Republican Ken Paxton's tenure marked by legal controversies. Johnson, the first Democrat to officially enter the race, focuses on health care access, government transparency, and restoring integrity to the office after Paxton, who is leaving to run for U.S. Senate. Both candidates position themselves as advocates for Texans over partisan interests, with Johnson highlighting his legislative efforts on Medicaid expansion and health insurance subsidies. The race is expected to be competitive in both the primary and general elections, as Democrats seek to unseat a long-serving Republican attorney general. Their campaigns reflect a broader effort to address public safety, health care, and governance issues in Texas.
