Paxton Campaign Announces $2.9 Million Raised in Q2

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s (R) campaign for U.S. Senate has announced a $2.9 million fundraising haul in the 2nd quarter, which is a record-breaking figure for a primary challenge against an incumbent senator in Texas.

The announcement shows major grassroots support for Attorney General Paxton as he challenges Senator John Cornyn (R), who’s struggled with support in polling since Attorney General Paxton announced his candidacy.

"I've been incredibly honored and blown away by the support I've received since launching my campaign," Attorney General Paxton said in a campaign press release. "The grassroots movement to fire John Cornyn continues to grow stronger every single day, and this is only just the beginning."

Calling himself as a “conservative warrior,” Attorney General Paxton is running a campaign grounded in loyalty to President Donald Trump (R) and opposition to what he calls “establishment insiders” in the Republican Party.

"Texas Republicans know that John Cornyn has betrayed President Trump and our conservative values time and time again," Attorney General Paxton said. "It's crystal clear that the people of Texas are ready for a change, and in March 2026, change is coming."

The campaign's strong fundraising numbers come amid personal upheaval for the attorney general.

This week, his wife, state Sen. Angela Paxton (R), announced that she had filed for divorce, citing “biblical grounds” and “recent discoveries” that led her to decide that remaining in the marriage would not be “honoring to God.”

The high-profile separation follows years of allegations surrounding Attorney General Paxton’s alleged infidelity and ethical misconduct during his time as attorney general.

Since the announcement, Attorney General Paxton has received criticism from Democrats, who've called into question the Republican Party's focus on traditional values and the allegations aimed at the attorney general.

Sara McGee, a Democrat running for Texas HD 132, responded to the divorce announcement, writing "it's about time" on X. "I couldn't imagine suffering so much public embarrassment and sticking it out. Good for her."
