Senators Huffman, Middleton Enter Texas Attorney General Race

News summary

State Rep. Robert Craven of Rhode Island is exploring a run for attorney general in 2026, aiming to succeed the term-limited Peter Neronha. Craven, who chairs the House Judiciary Committee and has legal experience both as a municipal solicitor and former assistant attorney general, has already begun fundraising and consulting with police unions. In Texas, State Sen. Joan Huffman announced her candidacy for attorney general, joining a crowded Republican field to replace Ken Paxton, who is running for U.S. Senate. Huffman, a former Harris County prosecutor and current chair of the Senate Finance Committee, emphasizes her extensive legal and legislative experience as key qualifications. She will compete against fellow state Sen. Mayes Middleton, known for self-funding his campaign, and Aaron Reitz, a former Department of Justice official under President Donald Trump. Both races highlight a competitive environment with experienced candidates vying to become their states' chief legal officers.
