Nearly five decades ago, my grandfather, Leon Jaworski, took over as Watergate special prosecutor after the Saturday Night Massacre. He had the guts to take on corruption by fighting for justice. And he succeeded because no one - absolutely no one - is above the law. 1/5
This is why I am running for Texas Attorney General. In Texas, too many of our public officials think they are above the law. The tearing down of our institutions has led us to lose faith in our democracy. 2/5
We need someone who can restore integrity to public service. Someone who chooses right over wrong. Someone who will use our legal system to fight for fairness and justice. 3/5
As I travel across our state, one topic continues to come up in conversation: cannabis. And whether we should #legalizeit in Texas is an important debate we ought to be having.
I know where I stand: I am in support of legalized recreational and medicinal #cannabis in Texas. 1/7

Why is that?
✳️ Legalized recreational & medicinal cannabis will be a money maker for TX. How does 30,000 permanent jobs, $1.1 billion in revenue to add to the state budget & $300 million statewide savings for police & prosecutors sound? It sounds like smart progress to me. 2/7

✳️ #Cannabis provides our veterans & those suffering from illness a wellness alternative to addicting opioids.
✳️ Legalized cannabis will fund our police & courts by removing a wasteful, petty prosecution & turn this cash crop into a profit center for a growing state. 3/7

I’m Joe, a Democrat running to defeat @TXAG Ken Paxton. I’m a 3rd gen TX attorney, former Mayor of Galveston & grandson of Watergate special prosecutor, Leon Jaworski. Are you ready to rid TX of Ken Paxton?
YES! YES! YES!

Ken Paxton is a threat to our TX values & American Democracy. He has 3 indictments on felony securities fraud charges, is being investigated by the FBI for abuse of power, & encouraged the Capitol insurrection on Jan. 6. He must be defeated so we can restore integrity to the OAG.
My priorities include voter access, civil rights, local control, supporting women’s rights & access to reproductive healthcare, supporting the ACA, & legalizing cannabis in Texas. We need an AG that will serve as #ThePeoplesAttorney and I’m ready to get to work. #JaworskiforTXAG
#Juneteenth becoming a national holiday is a good step in the right direction & I applaud President Biden & Congress for its passage. I also want to thank & honor Opal Lee, an amazing 94-year-old grandmother, for her tireless efforts to bring Juneteenth national recognition. 
However, there is much work to be done in our pursuit of #absoluteequality. We will continue to fight to dismantle systemic racism & racial injustice. To demand economic equality & voting access for ALL American citizens.
Our work is far from done and I am committed to doing the hard, necessary work to move closer to the American ideal of “liberty and justice for all.”
Joe Jaworski is coming to Marble Falls, TX! Join Joe & local Democrat groups on 6/5 at Johnson Park from 4-6:30 PM. This will be a family-friendly event w/games & activities for kids, live music (Joe will get to jam on the drums!) & we will have free food & beverages. 1/2

It is our responsibility to vote and elect our leaders. We cannot allow corrupt politicians to hold elected office. With three felony indictments, we must let @KenPaxtonTX know that no one is above the law.
I will fight for Texans as @TXAG. I will be the people’s attorney.

My focus will be on:
✅ Turning Paxton's voter fraud division in a Voter Access Division
✅ Ensuring civil rights for you and your family

✅ Expanding Medicaid, and investigating and suing corrupt health insurance companies

@KenPaxtonTX has failed Texans again & again:
Voter suppression
Wasteful spending
Encouraged the Jan 6 attack on our Capital
Tried to overturn a free & fair election
Abandoned Texans last month during the winter storm
It's time to clean house. It's time for spring cleaning. 1/7

I'm Joe Jaworski. A Democrat running to unseat @TXAG #KenPaxton. As your next AG, I promise to:
- Never embarrass you in the SCOTUS
- Support the ACA
- Lead a statewide effort to legalize adult-use cannabis
- Support local decision-making authority 2/7

I promise to:
- Create a Voter Access Division that will prosecute what little fraud exists & make it easier for every eligible Texan to vote. Paxton says: “No vote by mail, no after hours voting for shift workers, no drive through voting & only one drop box per county!” 3/7

I will help lead a statewide effort to legalize adult-use recreational purpose cannabis. Texas is ready for a regulated, pro business free market that will create 30,000 direct industry jobs and raise over $1B in revenue every year. 1/6
When we pass legislation to legalize adult-use recreational & medical marijuana it will allow us to treat veterans’ PTSD & chronic pain, & offer a wellness alternative to opioids so Texas can fight a winning war on addiction. It will allow TX to usher in positive and long... 2/6
overdue social & criminal justice reform. The war on cannabis has disproportionately affected young people & POC for decades. By legalizing it, we can put an end to a practice that has unfairly affected so many POC & their families, & find a path towards healing. 3/6
