NRSC Communications Director Joanna Rodriguez: "What Ken Paxton has put his family through is truly repulsive and disgusting. No one should have to endure what Angela Paxton has, and we pray for her as she chooses to stand up for herself and her family during this difficult time."
Texas Cannabis Collective: "For what it's worth, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has been behind a decade+ of continued cannabis prohibition and enforcement."
Mothers Against Greg Abbott: "Ken and Angela Paxton are getting divorced. Ken blames political attacks. Angela blames the cheating. We blame the fact that Ken Paxton clearly didn't walk past the Ten Commandments monument enough. You know... the one he wants to force on public school kids. Apparently 'Thou shalt not commit adultery' didn't stick."
Rep. Lloyd Doggett: "Amid the pain and suffering so many Texans are facing from deadly flooding, Trump comes to Kerr County after undermining the federal response both before and after this avoidable catastrophe. So many lives lost that competent action at all levels of government could have prevented."
Rep. Sylvia Garcia: "Trump's push to end the Tomato Suspension Agreement (TSA) by July 14 would trigger a 17% tariff on tomatoes imported from Mexico. Salsa will be pricier, shelves emptier, and groceries more expensive. Tens of thousands of jobs, including 30,000 Texans, will be at risk. That is $8B in economic impact when families are already feeling the pinch. He must reverse this decision now. We need to keep the TSA in place."
