Smidgen of Texas Attorney General Race News

Posted on July 26, 2013 by Lawrence Person

A little bird has been telling me a few tidbits about the Attorney General’s race, namely:

  • Ken Paxton is indeed going to run for AG, and will announce his run next week. You might think this is deep insider knowledge, but given this Facebook posting by Paxton…eh, not so much.
  • By contrast, the manifest lack of enthusiasm for Dan Branch’s Attorney General run among Texas conservatives is palpable. And when the Dallas Morning News labels you “a close confidant of House Speaker Joe Straus,” you’re already starting off on the wrong foot to win over conservative activists.
