Talarico's Campaign Hopes to Bring End to Ken Paxton's Troubled Tenure as AG
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has faced years of scandals without losing his job, but a new challenger may be able to finally change that: Republican nominee Patricial Talarico is running against him in a bid to bring an end to Paxton's tumultuous tenure.
The embattled Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton continues to face scandals despite eight years in office, and his fate may now be tied to the outcome of a primary election against challenger Candice Talarico, who is vying for the Republican nomination to replace him on the ballot. If she wins, it could potentially change the trajectory of Paxton's career. Talarico has been critical of Paxton's handling of various cases and scandals, including his involvement in the embattled Justice Department lawsuit against pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson. The primary election is set to take place on March 1.
