#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.”

Ken Paxton’s criminal, unethical and self-dealing behavior in office has cost Texas dearly, and he does not deserve another term. I’m glad to see George P. Bush and other Republicans agreeing with my assessment. 1/4
The Texas AG Republican primary, unfortunately, isn’t going to solve the root problem here: The contest between Paxton and Bush will be for Donald Trump’s endorsement, not to determine who’s best for Texas. 2/4
I’m running to serve all Texans as an ethical Attorney General, and I look forward to facing and defeating Mr. Trump’s hand-picked candidate in the 2022 general election. 3/4

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
✅ Supporting cities, counties, and school districts in their local decision-making authority

@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

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.

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
