Policy Positions
Positions as of July 4, 2026, extracted from source websites.
Climate(1)
Supports preserving renewable energy resources in Texas, having played a role in protecting them after Winter Storm Uri.
"After Winter Storm Uri, I played a central role in fortifying the Texas power grid, restructuring energy markets, and preserving our vital renewable energy resources."
Criminal Justice(1)
Supports a cooperative rather than antagonistic relationship between the AG's office and local district attorneys to more effectively fight crime.
"AG Ken Paxton's antagonistic approach to district attorneys diverts resources away from prosecuting criminals to dealing with red tape. As Attorney General for this state, I'll bring the powers of the office to bear on public safety by working with our district attorneys to keep Texans and their property safe."
Economy(1)
Supports protecting small businesses and entrepreneurs by enforcing consumer protection laws and promoting fair market competition.
"Republicans have demonstrated time and time again that they care more about the donor monopolists who fund their campaigns than about consumers, small businesses and entrepreneurs. As your Attorney General, I will serve as an independent champion for Texas consumers and businesses that want to compete in a market that isn't rigged against them."
Healthcare(2)
Supports Medicaid expansion in Texas, having been the state's leading voice on the issue as a senator.
"Seeing Texas's worst-in-the-nation uninsured rate, I became the state's leading voice on Medicaid expansion."
Supports prosecuting Medicaid fraud as part of the Attorney General's direct prosecutorial powers.
"The Texas AG can directly prosecute cases of identity theft, cybercrime, Medicaid fraud, and in some instances human trafficking."
Immigration(2)
Supports a secure border to prevent drug smuggling and human trafficking, but opposes constitutionally questionable enforcement tactics and federal overreach in border policy.
"The Texas border is 1,254 miles long. We need it to be secure, and safe from drug smuggling, human trafficking, and all forms of cross-border criminal enterprise. But, as Americans, we should reject 'shock and awe' border policy and tactics that violate the U.S. Constitution."
Opposes aggressive deportation tactics that he characterizes as damaging to communities and decency.
"We should reject policy and tactics that damage our sense of decency and fracture our communities."
Social Issues(2)
Implicitly supports defending individual rights and freedoms against what he characterizes as MAGA assaults, including those related to civil rights previously established.
"I will use the power of the Office to defend – and where possible restore – the individual rights and freedoms we have worked so hard to establish, and to uphold the rule of law and honor the Constitution."
Broadly supports defending individual rights against federal overreach, framed as protecting communities from MAGA policies.
"I will join Democratic AGs from across the country to take Trump to court to block the MAGA machine's illegal actions that are harming the economy, tearing apart communities, and eroding the foundations of our democracy."
