Ken Paxton is in the news as the Republican nominee in the Texas Senate race, where he says holding Texas is key for Republicans to keep the Senate majority. He is facing scrutiny over past scandals and a new complaint accusing him of violating Texas election law by voting from an address where he no longer lived, which his campaign denies. Paxton has also been criticized for his noncitizen voting probe, which has produced few prosecutions so far. He has not yet fully laid out his position on data center regulation, another issue drawing attention in the race.
