Paxton's campaign says three-fourths of the Texas Republican delegation has endorsed him. Six of those members backed John Cornyn in the primary. Nothing about Paxton's record changed in between.
A Texas Republican admitted an affair with a staffer who died by suicide, and the Speaker said it wasn't 'time' to talk about resigning. With Max Miller accused of domestic abuse, Johnson says it's 'not my business.' He had no such trouble deciding about Democrats.
Gooden wrote to the Dallas Housing Authority demanding ten years of data on where Housing Choice Voucher families are being placed in Kaufman County, citing 'housing concentration' and 'neighborhood stability.'
