Throughout his time as Attorney General, and even before he was elected — Ken Paxton has been very shady.

A timeline: 🧵 (1/7) April 2014: Then-State Senator and Attorney General candidate Ken Paxton was paid for soliciting clients for an investment firm but wasn't registered with a state board.

Paxton eventually pays a $1,000 civil fine.

July 2015: Paxton is indicted. (2/7)

A disturbing story from the @AP reports Paxton's failure in managing sex trafficking cases and even a donor-turned-staffer who showed child pornography in a meeting.

I'm calling on the Texas Rangers to investigate Ken Paxton's mismanagement of the AG's Office. 🧵 @AP The report details how he has politicized the office of the Attorney General with his extremism and how his utter incompetence has created a toxic work culture.

Here are just some of the things that have happened under his watch.

My name is Rochelle Garza, I’m a 5th generation Texan, a new mom, a civil rights attorney, and the first Latina Democratic nominee for Texas Attorney General. While we made history, yesterday is also a sober reminder of why we need new leadership in Texas. I am deeply saddened by the news from Uvalde. Ken Paxton's call to arm more teachers only puts our children at risk and it’s time to vote him out.

I’m observing a peaceful protest of asylum seekers forced to live in squalid conditions in Mexico. They have blocked off Gateway International Bridge to protest the Remain in Mexico program. These are the people our government is keeping out #EndMPP Mayor of #Matamoros is asking people to leave the bridge. Mexican military standing behind us. No one is listening to the protesters complaints of kidnapping and hunger. They’re just asking for protection.
