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
That’s what I have done my entire career, as a lawyer and as a Mayor. We need an Attorney General with the courage of my grandfather — the courage to stand up to the politically powerful. 4/5
I am prepared to live up to that legacy. Texas, your attorney has arrived. Join our movement today with a donation so we can restore integrity to the #TXAG office in 2022. #JaworskiforTXAG#TexasDemocrats 5/5
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
Let's be frank: we've had enough of the shameless conduct of Ken Paxton.
- The indictments
- The Whistleblowers
- The FBI Investigation
- The frivolous Supreme Court filing
- The January 6 Insurrection
- The Winter Freeze
- The State Bar Investigation
And it’s only June 2021. 1/6
Ken Paxton’s contempt for the rule of Law and utter lack of accountability for his lawlessness is a stain on the Lone Star Flag. Paxton must not earn a third term in office. 2/6
I’m Joe Jaworski, Democratic candidate for Texas Attorney General. I’m going to be on that November 2022 ballot right next to Paxton, and with your support I will defeat him. 3/6
#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
