U.S. Senator

Ken Paxton
Ken Paxton is Texas's attorney general and a former member of the Texas House and Senate.
Where they stand
Immigration and Border Policy
Supports President Trump’s agenda of securing the border and deporting illegal aliens, completing the border wall, and—separately on the same page—helping deport criminal illegal aliens. The page does not establish that the criminal category limits the broader opening agenda.
Taxes, Costs, and Economic Opportunity
Supports cutting taxes and federal spending, removing regulations he says raise costs for energy companies, and using federal policy to expand American manufacturing and jobs while reducing household costs.
Health Care Access and Costs
Supports greater transparency and accountability in food and health-care systems, informed consumer choices, and healthier outcomes, with patient well-being placed ahead of corporate profits.
Background
His campaign biography says he earned a B.A. and M.B.A. from Baylor University, received a law degree from the University of Virginia School of Law, and built a law firm in McKinney before entering public service.
