Sovereignty Matters. Borders Must Hold.

Ken Paxton is running to help President Trump finish the border wall and protect our national sovereignty. During the corrupt Biden Administration, Attorney General Paxton led the national legal charge against Biden’s radical agenda and sued the lawless Biden Administration over 100 times, including to put an end to …

Immigration: How would you modernize our immigration system?

The American people deserve an immigration system that upholds public safety and helps our economy. As Attorney General, I’ve fought open border policies that empower cartels, endanger Texans, and put extreme burdens on our hospitals and public services. I will continue to fight for an immigration system that helps Texas and our communities.

Immigration: How would you modernize our immigration system?

Both parties have failed us on the issue of immigration, and it’s time to finally pass comprehensive immigration reform. We must hire more border patrol agents to stop illegal crossings, modernize ports of entry to detect threats before they enter the country, hire more asylum judges to process cases quickly, and focus ICE resources on deporting criminals instead of community members.

TAKE ON BIG FOOD AND BIG PHARMA

For too long, powerful pharmaceutical companies and corporate food interests have put profits ahead of the health of the American people. America spends more on healthcare than any nation in the world, yet chronic illness continues to rise and families are paying the price. Ken Paxton believes Americans deserve …

Healthcare: What specific steps would you take to make healthcare more affordable for American families?

While chronic illness continues to rise, corporations continue to profit. America continues to spend more than any other nation on healthcare, and the results do not align. That’s why as Attorney General, I repeatedly took on Big Pharma for their deceptive practices, and as Senator I look forward to continuing to fight for healthier outcomes, transparency, and accountability in healthcare.

Healthcare: What specific steps would you take to make healthcare more affordable for American families?

In the legislature, I capped insulin at $25 and imported cheaper drugs into the US. As Senator, I’ll ensure every American can access a public healthcare option, cap copays for more prescription drugs, protect reproductive care, save rural hospitals, and break up the healthcare monopolies driving up prices. I’ll protect Medicaid, Medicare, and the Affordable Care Act and fully fund the VA.

But we will not be conquered.

We’re underdogs in this fight. We’re going up against these billionaire mega-donors and their puppet politicians. We’re going up against a rigged system. And we’re going up against a lot of money. But I’m a former middle school teacher — I don’t scare easily. And Texans don’t scare easily.

No More Blank Checks. No More Broken Promises.

Ken Paxton is a strong fiscal conservative who will fight to cut taxes and stop the wasteful spending that has led to our nation being in over $36 trillion dollars in debt. After four years of Joe Biden causing skyrocketing inflation and declaring war on American energy, Ken Paxton will help bring down costs and …

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I’m passionate about fighting corruption and lowering costs. I am proposing a cost-of-living tax cut that will expand the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit, restore the ACA Tax Credits, and provide a tariff rebate to Americans who have been paying too much for everything. I’ll pay for it by closing tax loopholes and making the wealthiest Americans and giant corporations pay their fair share. I’ll continue lowering costs by cutting red tape so we can build more homes and get new energy projects off the ground — lowering housing and utility prices. I’ve already delivered major …

Economy: What policies would you support to reduce income inequality and expand economic opportunity?

The American Dream is slowly slipping away, and with it, economic opportunity. That’s why my “Protecting the Texas Promise” plan will help Americans as costs continue to skyrocket. My plan will provide the largest tax relief in a generation and put thousands of dollars back in Texans’ pockets to buy a home, raise a family, and live a healthy lifestyle without struggling.

Economy: What policies would you support to reduce income inequality and expand economic opportunity?

We need a government that serves working people instead of giant corporations by: closing tax loopholes that billionaires and corporations exploit, raising the corporate tax, raising the tax on corporate stock buybacks, passing a cost-of-living tax cut, and incentivizing raising wages by creating a tax on corporations that pay their top executives more than 250 times their median worker’s salary.

That’s because the most powerful people in the world want it that way.

The biggest divide in this country is not left vs. right. It’s top vs. bottom. Billionaires want us looking left and right at each other instead of looking up at them. The people at the top work so hard to keep us angry and divided because our unity is a threat to their wealth and power. So their cable news networks and their social media algorithms tear us apart.

Carry the Torch for Trump’s Agenda.

Ken Paxton has always been a loyal supporter of President Trump and a staunch supporter of the America First movement. Both President Trump and Ken Paxton have been targeted in politically motivated witch hunts because there’s nothing that scares the establishment more than courageous conservatives who never back down …

No Compromise. Just Conservative Principles.

The radical left is determined to undermine our conservative values, and too often there are RINO Republicans willing to help them do it. We’ve seen an unprecedented assault on our Constitutional freedoms— like our 2nd Amendment rights— from “Republicans” and Democrats alike. Ken Paxton is running to stop the career …

Balance of Power: What specific actions would you take to protect the Constitution's system of checks and balances?

I will prioritize legislation to cap campaign contributions at every level of government, ban dark money groups and super PACs, and ban partisan gerrymandering so that every American has an equal say in our politics and our policymaking. I will outlaw Congressional stock trading and impose term limits on Supreme Court Justices and Members of Congress — and hold them to high ethical standards.

Voting Rights: What voting rights legislation would you support to ensure voters’ ability to participate in our democratic processes?

In the Legislature, I broke quorum twice to fight back against gerrymandering and defend the freedom to vote. In the Senate, I will cap campaign contributions, ban dark money groups and super PACs, and ban partisan gerrymandering so that every American has an equal say in our politics and our policymaking. We must also pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to protect our right to vote.

Artificial Intelligence: Would you regulate Artificial Intelligence (AI)? If so, how?

America must beat China in the AI race, but this needs to be achieved while still protecting people first and foremost. As Attorney General, I launched investigations into AI chatbot companies that prey upon the most vulnerable in our society, including children. My Texas First Data Center plan looks to build upon this same vision to ensure America is protected from the dangers of Big Tech.

Artificial Intelligence: Would you regulate Artificial Intelligence (AI)? If so, how?

We need to ensure that technological advances in AI aren’t outpacing legal protections. I support reasonable regulations that ensure we protect workers, consumers, and our elections. Our top priority must be to make sure these tools are safe, people are put first, and the data centers that power them are decided on our terms – not on those of the companies or the billionaires.

Qualifications: What training, experience, and characteristics qualify you for this position?

Prior to Attorney General, I was a legislator and business owner. As a dad to three amazing daughters and a great son, I know politics has real consequences. So I lead with Texans at the forefront.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Affordability: The real fight in this country isn’t Left vs Right; it’s Top vs Bottom. Right now, the rich are getting richer, and the rest of us are struggling to get by. I am proposing a cost-of-living tax cut that will expand the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit, restore the ACA Tax Credits, and provide a tariff rebate to Americans who have been paying too much for everything. I’ll pay for it by closing tax loopholes and making the wealthiest Americans and giant corporations pay their fair share. I’ll continue lowering costs by cutting red tape so we can build more homes and …

Qualifications: What training, experience, and characteristics qualify you for this position?

I’m a former middle school teacher, Presbyterian seminarian, and Texas State Representative. I’ve passed bipartisan bills to lower the cost of prescription drugs, child care, and housing.

DEFEAT THE MOST RADICAL DEMOCRAT IN TEXAS HISTORY.

The stakes in this election could not be higher. Ken Paxton is running to stop the most radical Democrat in Texas history, James Talarico, from representing Texas in the United States Senate. Talarico has embraced far-left positions that are completely out of step with Texas values, including promoting the idea that …
