Campaign websitePaxton's campaign website stated the following:Carry the Torch for Trump’s Agenda.Ken Paxton has always been a loyal supporter of President Trump and a staunch supporter of the America First movement. Both President Trump and Ken Paxton have been targeted in politically motivated witch hunts because there’s nothing that scares the establishment more than courageous conservatives who never back down from standing up for the American people. In Washington, Ken Paxton will champion President Trump’s legislative priorities, including cutting taxes, securing the border and deporting illegal aliens, ending the weaponization of government, and draining the Swamp.Take A Sledgehammer to the DC Establishment.There are too many establishment politicians who have spent decades in Washington ignoring the people they’re supposed to represent. They care more about lobbyists and special interests than their own constituents, and our country deserves better. Ken Paxton is a conservative outsider— just like President Trump— who has consistently taken on the political establishment and won. As Senator, he will shake up Washington and be a relentless fighter for the American people.Sovereignty Matters. Borders Must Hold.Ken Paxton is running to help President Trump finish the border wall and protect our national sovereignty. During the corrupt Biden Administration, Attorney General Paxton led the national legal charge against Biden’s radical agenda and sued the lawless Biden Administration over 100 times, including to put an end to disastrous open borders policies. Ken Paxton will carry that fight to Washington, where he will help President Trump deport the criminal illegal aliens Joe Biden invited into the country, secure the border, and complete the construction of the border wall. No Compromise. Just Conservative Principles.The radical left is determined to undermine our conservative values, and too often there are RINO Republicans willing to help them do it. We’ve seen an unprecedented assault on our Constitutional freedoms— like our 2nd Amendment rights— from “Republicans” and Democrats alike. Ken Paxton is running to stop the career politicians who are attacking our way of life. He will stand with President Trump to protect our gun rights, defend the unborn, and defeat the radical transgender movement that’s desperate to put men in girls’ sports and woke indoctrination in our classrooms. Foreign Policy That Puts Americans First — Period.While many Washington career politicians are concerned with sending billions to foreign countries and protecting the borders of other nations, Ken Paxton’s top priority will always be the American people. Alongside President Trump, he will work to advance an America First foreign policy that promotes peace through strength, prioritizes our nation’s interests first and foremost, and ensures the safety of American citizens.No More Blank Checks. No More Broken Promises.Ken Paxton is a strong fiscal conservative who will fight to cut taxes and stop the wasteful spending that has led to our nation being in over $36 trillion dollars in debt. After four years of Joe Biden causing skyrocketing inflation and declaring war on American energy, Ken Paxton will help bring down costs and remove harmful regulations designed to hurt our energy companies. He is a staunch ally and supporter of President Trump’s economic agenda and will work tirelessly to revitalize American manufacturing, create American jobs, and restore the American Dream. — Ken Paxton's campaign website (November 19, 2025)Note: This text is quoted verbatim from the original source.
