Dem Challenger Nearly Tied With Texas AG Ken Paxton

The Hill reports:

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) and Democratic challenger Rochelle Garza are almost tied ahead of this year’s midterms, a poll released Monday shows.

The Dallas Morning News-University of Texas at Tyler poll found Paxton leading Garza 34 to 32 percent among Texas voters, within the poll’s margin of error of plus or minus 2.8 percentage points.

Among those who support Garza, a former American Civil Liberties Union attorney, 13 percent reported what they most like about her is that she’s “not Paxton,” the second most popular reason after her party affiliation.

Ken Paxton won’t rest when it comes to hurting LGBTQ kids. As Texas AG and as a mother, I won’t rest until every child’s rights are protected.
