Republican Candidates for Texas Attorney General Debate in Dallas
Four Republican candidates debated once before the March 3 primary, highlighting their legal and political experience in a race without incumbent Ken Paxton.
- On Tuesday night in Dallas, four Republicans met at the Granada Theater for their only joint debate in the attorney general primary.
- The Texas Attorney General's office has grown in national influence, becoming key to the national conservative legal strategy, and with Ken Paxton stepping aside, the field is wide open for a new top legal officer.
- Public polling shows U.S. Rep. Chip Roy leads, with rivals seeking to keep him below 50% to force a runoff; Roy said, `I worked alongside President Trump to draft and move forward through the House, the Save America Act`.
- If no candidate reaches 50%, a runoff mechanism will decide the GOP nominee, who will then face Democratic nominees Tony Box, Joe Jaworski, and Nathan Johnson in the general election.
- The debate fell at the start of Texas' 11-day early voting period running through Feb. 27, hosted by the Republican Attorneys General Association and moderated by Allie Beth Stuckey; Ken Paxton was absent from the ballot.
