Bush sparring on the first day of the three-month race.
Both candidates come into the race with political liabilities the other is already seeking to exploit ahead of the May 24 runoff. “I see myself just completely staying out of it,” said Gohmert, a conservative firebrand and nine-term congressman who was widely seen as pulling votes from Paxton. George P. Bush speaks with members of the press during his election night watch party in his race for Texas Attorney General on Tuesday, March 1, 2022, at at Central Machine Works in Austin, Texas.
Democrats are energized at the prospect of facing off against Paxton, who only narrowly won re-election in 2018 while fighting a securities fraud indictment that is still pending. In a statement, Garza singled out the Republican incumbent, calling him the “most corrupt Attorney General in the country” and saying she’s ready to defeat him in November.
