Nathan Johnson Enters Texas Attorney General Race
State Sen. Nathan Johnson, a Dallas Democrat, has launched his campaign to become Texas attorney general, making him the first Democrat to enter the race to replace Republican Ken Paxton, who is seeking a U.S. Senate seat. Johnson, a seasoned legislator and lawyer, is positioning himself as a reformer aiming to restore public trust in an office he says has been tainted by scandal and partisanship under Paxton. He emphasizes his record of bipartisan legislative accomplishments and pledges to represent all Texans, not just party interests. The Texas attorney general's race is drawing a crowded field, especially on the Republican side, with State Sens. Mayes Middleton and Joan Huffman, and former DOJ official Aaron Reitz already in the running. Johnson faces a daunting political landscape, as no Democrat has won statewide office in Texas since 1994, but he hopes to capitalize on his centrist appeal and a potentially favorable midterm climate.
