Washington politicians have created a $36 trillion national debt. @ElonMusk and the DOGE team are doing incredible work to cut the wasteful spending that politicians have forced Americans to pay for year after year. No matter how much the left tries to shut them down, I'm proud to stand with President Trump and Elon Musk to ensure that the government is more efficient and better able to serve the American people.

"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 remove harmful regulations designed to hurt our energy companies. He is a staunch ally and supporter of President Trump’s economic agenda and will work tirelessly to revitalize American manufacturing, create American jobs, and restore the American Dream. "

“Unlike states that are run by radical left-wing lunatics, we will not tolerate the abuse of taxpayer funded programs in Texas. My office has already recovered over $1 billion from Medicaid fraud alone since 2020, and I will continue to pursue any fraudster who attempts to cheat Texans out of money by exploiting our healthcare system.”

"Attorney General Ken Paxton’s Healthcare Program Enforcement Division (“HPED”) has launched investigations into dozens of Medicaid providers across Texas. The investigations were launched by utilizing the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (“HHS”) claims data that was released due to efforts by the Department of Government Efficiency (“DOGE”)."

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 transparency, accountability, and the freedom to make informed choices about their health

Attor­ney Gen­er­al Ken Pax­ton Suc­cess­ful­ly Stops Har­ris Coun­ty from Using Tax­pay­er Funds to Pro­tect Ille­gal Immi­grants from Deportation: “It’s deeply wrong that any Texan should be forced to have their hard-earned dollars taken from them only to be handed out to defend illegal aliens. It’s unacceptable, it’s illegal, and it will not stand in the Lone Star State. I commend the Texas Supreme Court for correctly ordering that this unlawful program is frozen as the case continues.”

Attor­ney Gen­er­al Pax­ton Inves­ti­gates Dal­las Coun­ty Sher­iff for Sanc­tu­ary Poli­cies and Demands That the Sher­iff Com­ply With Texas Law by Seek­ing an Agree­ment to Assist ICE in Enforc­ing Fed­er­al Immi­gra­tion Law: “Texas law requires that sheriffs seek a formal agreement with ICE to help stop illegal immigration. My office will ensure that the Dallas County Sheriff complies with the law and that ICE is assisted to the fullest extent possible under the law.”

Ken Paxton sued to stop “parole in place,” saying: “Biden’s new parole workaround unilaterally grants the opportunity for citizenship to unvetted aliens whose first act on American soil was to break our laws.”

"The people of Texas expect law enforcement agencies to uphold public safety, not to implement sanctuary policies that put our communities at risk. My office will take all necessary legal actions to ensure compliance with state law and hold accountable any local entity that defies its legal obligations."

"Our state defends the largest section of the southern border in the nation. Failure to properly enforce the law will directly and immediately endanger our citizens and law enforcement personnel."

Ken Paxton believes Americans deserve transparency, accountability, and the freedom to make informed choices about their health. In the Senate, he will work alongside President Trump to Make America Healthy Again by taking on Big Pharma and Big Food, increasing transparency in our food and healthcare systems, promoting healthier outcomes for Texas families, and putting the well-being of the Americans people ahead of corporate profits.

Texas has secured an injunction against Biden’s unlawful ATF rule that would criminalize the private sale of guns. Biden’s unconstitutional rule cannot be enforced in Texas. I’m proud to fight and win for our Second Amendment rights!

“The law is clear. Cities like Dallas have no authority to override state statutes that enable license holders to lawfully carry their handguns and protect themselves from potential threats,” said Attorney General Paxton. “I will always do everything in my power to defend Texans’ gun rights from cities that would strip us of our legal rights.”

“This commonsense proposal is a positive step in the right direction by statutorily protecting Americans’ right to keep and bear arms. Under H.R. 38, Texans’ constitutional carry rights would not arbitrarily end the moment they leave the state, enabling them to protect themselves while traveling across the nation.”

"Attorney General Ken Paxton secured a landmark legal victory for gun owners, preserving an injunction that prevented enforcement of a Biden Administration Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (“ATF”) rule that unlawfully sought to violate Americans’ constitutional right to privately buy and sell firearms."

"[Paxton] will stand with President Trump to...defeat the radical transgender movement that’s desperate to put men in girls’ sports and woke indoctrination in our classrooms....Talarico has embraced far-left positions that are completely out of step with Texas values, including promoting the idea that there are multiple genders beyond biological reality, supporting policies that weaken border security, and advocating for radical gender ideology and LGBTQ-focused content in schools."

“My office will continue to stand firm against any policy or practice that undermines a parent’s God-given and legally protected role in caring for their children,” said Attorney General Paxton. “Parents are responsible for their children’s upbringing, and having easy access to their medical records and health information to ensure they receive the care they deserve is a critical part of accomplishing that duty. Denying parents access to their children’s data is illegal, and my office will closely monitor compliance and hold anyone who attempts to strip parents of their rights fully accountable.”

"In his opinion, Paxton indicated that portion of the guidelines violates state law to the extent that they 'limit parental access to information about their child and operate to encourage students to withhold information from parents.''

"Attor­ney Gen­er­al Ken Pax­ton Secures Land­mark Agree­ment with Cen­tral Texas Med­ical Provider to Pro­tect Parental Access to Children’s Elec­tron­ic Health Records"

"Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has won a major victory against the Biden Administration's Department of Education ('DOE'), stopping its attempt to rewrite Title IX to force Texas schools to adopt radical 'transgender' policies in violation of state and federal law."

“The justice system must be dedicated to punishing the evildoer and protecting the innocent,” said Attorney General Paxton. “But far too often, leftist judicial activists and other liberal anti-prison organizations have worked to make Texas less safe by throwing open the prison doors and unleashing criminals back onto the streets. I will do everything in my power to reverse this disastrous policy and uphold the law.”

AG Pax­ton Defends Legal Stan­dards Keep­ing Vio­lent Crim­i­nals in Prison

"Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton yesterday filed a statement... opposing a consent decree...[which] would eliminate the ability of judges...to make case-by-case determinations regarding the proper bail for most criminal defendants..."

The consent decree Paxton opposed would have required judges to immediately release, under relaxed bail requirements, people arrested for misdemeanor offenses and select felonies, including assault, burglary of a vehicle, unlawfully carrying a weapon, and cruelty to animals.

In 2026, as Texas AG, he sued Dallas officials over what he characterized as insufficient police funding and sought enforcement of a voter-approved requirement for police funding, officer pay, and additional officers: “I filed this lawsuit to ensure that the City of Dallas fully funds law enforcement, upholds public safety, and is accountable to its constituents,” said Attorney General Paxton. “When voters demand more funding for law enforcement, local officials must immediately comply. As members of law enforcement across the country increasingly face attacks from the radical Left, it’s crucial that we fully fund the brave men and women in law enforcement defending law and order in our communities. This lawsuit aims to do just that by ensuring Dallas follows its own charter and gives police officers the support they need to protect the public.”

Attor­ney Gen­er­al Ken Pax­ton Files Law­suit Along­side FTC Against Rad­i­cal Orga­ni­za­tion WPATH for Pro­mot­ing Harm­ful Gen­der ​“Tran­si­tion” Pro­ce­dures for Children: “Any group that illegally promotes irreversible, life-altering ‘transitioning’ procedures to kids as safe and necessary will face the full force of the law for harming children."

Attor­ney Gen­er­al Pax­ton Makes His­to­ry by Secur­ing a Land­mark Health­care Fraud Set­tle­ment that Cre­ates the Nation’s First-Ever Detran­si­tion Clin­ic and Secures $10 Mil­lion from Texas Children’s Hos­pi­tal for ​“Tran­si­tion­ing” Kids: “Today is a monumental day in the fight to stop the radical transgender movement. This historic settlement reflects an institutional and fundamental cultural shift away from radical ‘gender’ ideology. In addition to helping establish the first-ever Detransition Clinic and securing millions, this settlement will ensure that the deranged child mutilators who hurt our kids are fired and held accountable,”

“Americans strongly believe in the legal and moral obligation to assure our criminal justice system imposes appropriate and humane penalties, but the 5th Circuit’s faithful analysis of the Constitution makes clear that obligation does not give convicted criminals a constitutional right to a taxpayer-funded gender reassignment surgery.”

Attor­ney Gen­er­al Ken Pax­ton Stops City of Den­ton from Per­mit­ting Rad­i­cal Orga­ni­za­tions to Allow Men into Chang­ing Rooms with Women and Chil­dren at City of Den­ton Pub­lic Pool: “The City of Denton has now agreed to follow the law and ensure that men are not allowed in women’s and girl’s changing areas. I will continue to ensure that every government entity in Texas complies with our laws protecting women and children.”

"Attorney General Ken Paxton sued the National Collegiate Athletic Association (“NCAA”) for engaging in false, deceptive, and misleading practices by marketing sporting events as “women’s” competitions only to then provide consumers with mixed sex competitions where biological males compete against biological females."

“U.S. Masters Swimming’s insane policy of allowing men to participate in women’s competitions is both deeply unfair to female competitors and unlawful,”

“Texas will not allow Joe Biden to rewrite Title IX at whim, destroying legal protections for women in furtherance of his radical obsession with gender ideology,”

Election integrity is no place for a soft-on-crime approach. It should hurt—bad!—to try to steal Texas elections.

“When voting by mail and applying to vote using that method, it’s vital that there is a requirement in place that allows us to verify the identity of the voter. We are going to enforce that requirement aggressively and continue to ensure that our state’s elections are secure.”

"The Save America Act is the most important bill the U.S. Senate could ever pass, and I'm committed to helping President Trump get it done.

I would consider dropping out of this race if Senate Leadership agrees to lift the filibuster and passes the SAVE America Act.

John Cornyn is a coward who has refused to support abolishing the filibuster to pass this bill. Now, Fake News reporters and the establishment are trying to destroy me with misinformation.

The truth is clear: No one has been more loyal to Donald Trump than me—fighting the stolen 2020 election, being in Mar-a-Lago when he announced his 2024 campaign, and standing with him in NY in the face of lawfare.

For the good of our country and for the good of passing President Trump's agenda, I am determined to help him get this done."

"Under Sec. 151.002 of the Texas Family Code, a physician-patient relationship is established between a child born alive after an abortion and the physician who performed or attempted to perform the abortion. The physician must exercise the same degree of professional skill, care, and diligence to preserve the life and health of the child as a reasonably diligent and conscientious physician would render to any other child born alive at the same gestational age."

One of the most horrifying cases involved Philadelphia-based Dr. Kermit Gosnell, who was convicted of murder for killing babies born alive after attempted abortions. The conditions in his clinic were shockingly unsanitary and unsafe. It turned out that the state had not inspected his clinic for 15 years...“Whole Woman’s Health’s track record in Texas and other states demonstrates the reasonable need for Indiana to require WWH’s facility in South Bend to meet licensing requirements and be subjected to regulation, inspection, and oversight.”

Attor­ney Gen­er­al Pax­ton Announces Inves­ti­ga­tions into Texas ISDs Across the State to Ensure the Dis­tricts are Dis­play­ing the Ten Com­mand­ments and Have Tak­en a Board Vote to Allow Prayer in Schools: “Texas schools districts must comply with Texas law by displaying the Ten Commandments and taking a school board vote regarding the implementation of prayer time in schools. I will never stop defending our students’ religious freedom and the moral foundation of our nation.”

“Schools not enjoined by ongoing litigation must abide by S.B. 10 and display the Ten Commandments. The woke radicals seeking to erase our nation’s history will be defeated. I will not back down from defending the virtues and values that built this country.”

“I’m proud to defend Texas’s right to uphold our legal and moral heritage by protecting the display of the Ten Commandments in public schools,”

Attorney General Ken Paxton encourages all Texas schools to implement dedicated time for prayer and the reading of scripture, following the enactment of Senate Bill 11 on September 1, 2025.

"Attorney General Ken Paxton issued a first-of-its-kind legal opinion, unparalleled in its size and scope, declaring the unconstitutionality of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (“DEI”) policies and programs in Texas government."

"Attorney General Ken Paxton opened an investigation into whether the University of North Texas (“UNT”) is continuing to teach Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (“DEI”) concepts and instructing staff to follow policies that are illegal under Texas law."

"Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against Coppell Independent School District (“ISD”) officials for illegally teaching critical race theory (“CRT”)."

"The race-and sex-based, public sector preferences discussed in this opinion cannot survive strict scrutiny and are therefore unconstitutional. Furthermore, a large body of DEI practices in the private sector triggers liability under Title VII, the Texas Commission on Human Rights Act, and Section 1981 in addition to state and federal securities law."

"I successfully stopped San Antonio from illegally using taxpayer funds to pay for out-of-state abortion travel. Forcing Texas taxpayers to subsidize abortion tourism is a profound insult to our state’s pro-life values and our laws protecting the unborn."

"Individuals killing unborn babies by performing illegal abortions in Texas will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, and I will not rest until justice is served."

"Pax­ton Defends SB8, Sav­ing Thou­sands of Lives in the Process...Texas SB8 is a pro-life law that bans abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, when fetal cardiac activity can be detected. Also known as the “Heartbeat Bill,” the law protects the unborn from gruesome medical procedures that involve dismemberment in the mother’s womb."
