News
Brandon Gill is in the news for endorsing Ken Paxton in the 2026 Texas Senate race, saying Paxton would bring the kind of change needed to back President Trump’s agenda.

He is also being mentioned in broader reporting on how recent Supreme Court voting-rights rulings could affect Texas redistricting and future district maps.
