Your Attorney General should deliver for you, not party bosses or billionaire donors. In the Senate, I've expanded health care, fortified the power grid, and led the fight against corruption in the highest levels of state government. I'm ready to deliver even bigger wins as AG.

There are only two choices in this race. My opponent “MAGA Mayes” Middleton promises to misuse the office for purely partisan purposes. I pledge to restore the office to its constitutional purposes.

While Mayes Middleton promises to follow in Ken Paxton’s footsteps, I’m promising a new path. When I’m Attorney General, I’ll root out corruption, block federal overreach, and sue companies who rig markets to raise your prices. Corruption and abuse of power in the AG‘s office ends this November.

“We strongly recommend state Sen. Nathan Johnson, a Dallas attorney with a demonstrated fidelity to the Constitution, as the leader to reset the attorney general’s office to serve all Texans, not one party.” “Johnson represents not only a clean break from the Paxton era but a fresh focus on Texans’ shared interests. He is not only the best choice for attorney general, he is the urgently needed one.” -Austin American-Statesman

If we’re giving Elon Musk preferential access to state contracts because of his wealth and connections, that’s corruption. We cannot put the interests of our state aside to pay monopolists and insiders three times what their competitors charge. I’m ready to investigate.

Think the Attorney General’s office has become too political? I do. Mayes Middleton doesn’t. After 12 years of Ken Paxton, we need an Attorney General who will put the rule of law over politics and the public good over a personal agenda. Texas could use a good lawyer.

People are feeling like the law is being used against them instead of for them. I want people to know that the law is on their side, and that their Attorney General will be their lawyer — representing them, their families, their businesses, and our state.

Losing the AG’s race is not an option. Texas cannot afford an Attorney General whose allegiance is to Donald Trump and his unabashedly corrupt corporate contributors. Over the past year, Democratic AGs across the country have blocked dozens of Trump’s illegal actions along with predatory practices by big companies. Let’s get the Texas AG’s office back to serving the people of Texas.

Former Supreme Court justices from TX GOP endorse Nathan Johnson (D) to replace Paxton as Texas Attorney General. Nathan Johnson will make a strong, steady, credible AG for all Texans. Someone willing and able to defend our great state, your rights, and our public schools. MAGA doesn’t just offer copy/paste, but someone who personally sanctioned Paxton’s actions in the very office he now seeks. texastribune.org/2026/08/31/…

Until Flock cameras can be deployed responsibly, we should slow down their implementation. Camera technology can help law enforcement fight crime, but Texans shouldn’t have to sacrifice their privacy in the process.

"Voters have an opportunity to move away from the divisive rhetoric and cynical abuse of the legal system that marked [Ken Paxton's] three terms in this office. "We recommend state Sen. Nathan Johnson as the next attorney general. His candidacy would be a giant step forward for all Texans." "[Middleton] is a terrible candidate who is far more interested in pleasing President Donald Trump than in representing all Texans." -San Antonio Express News

I’m in. @mayes_middleton ?
Covering the Texas Legislature for a living, I've seen @mayes_middleton & @NathanForTexas debate many times. Now they're both running for AG and you should get to see them debate, too. Happy to moderate. I've reached out to both campaigns for their consideration. Let's do this.

My goal is not to wake up every day and sue the Trump administration. But if they continue to violate the Constitution, infringe on our state’s rights, and impose illegal actions that hurt Texans, it will be my job to stop them.

AI is like fire: it can cook your food, and it can burn down your house. You have to control it to use it. That’s why in my first month as Texas AG I will conduct a thorough audit of Texas law to identify places where the law may not clearly reach the potential harms from emerging AI technologies. The next step is to work with legislators to update the law to keep pace with technology.

On September 16, 2023, Mayes Middleton and I each swore an oath as jurors in the Ken Paxton impeachment trial. Only one of us kept it.
