Nearly five decades ago my grandfather, Leon Jaworski, took over as Watergate special prosecutor after the shocking Saturday Night Massacre. He has had a profound impact on my life. 
He had the guts to take on corruption in our nation’s highest office by fighting for justice in our nation’s highest court. And he succeeded because he fought for one basic principle: no one is above the law.
My grandfather fought for America. He was a leader in the legal profession, serving in the US Army judge advocate general's department in WWII, becoming chief of the trial section of the war crimes branch.
Leon successfully served President Lyndon B Johnson and then argued the case of United States v. Nixon before the SCOTUS. The message that he left for our country is this: "No one - absolutely no one - is above the law."
My grandfather instilled a deep passion within me to take on corruption and fight for justice. He fought for America and now I am ready to fight for 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.
We need someone who can restore integrity to public service in TX. Someone who chooses right over wrong. Someone who will use our legal system to fight for fairness and justice.
I have dedicated my career, as a lawyer and as Mayor of Galveston, to fighting corruption and fighting for justice. We need an Attorney General with the courage of my grandfather - the courage to stand up to the politically powerful.
I am prepared to live up to my grandfather's legacy. I promise to take what he has instilled in me and use that moral compass as my guide as your next Attorney General.
Will you join me? Will you fight along with me to restore ethics and integrity to the Texas AG office? Will you help me fight against corruption and for justice? We can do this if we work together.
