Former Democratic Galveston Mayor Joe Joworski has raised $330,000 in his bid to unseat Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton next year.
The third-generation Galveston lawyer stated, “I am proud of our strong start to this timely campaign to restore integrity, ethics and support for the rule of law to the office of the Texas Attorney General. For too long Ken Paxton has defied the law and disrespected the citizens of Texas. That ends in 2022.”
If the name sounds familiar, it's because you might remember his grandfather, legendary Watergate Prosecutor Leon Jaworski.
He quotes his famous grandfather on his campaign page, saying, "No one - absolutely no one - is above the law."
The virtuous slogan takes on a political tinge, because it echoes what national Democrats have been touting since the capital siege on January 6th, that Trump, Congressmen, and rioters should all "be held accountable."
The one-term mayor, who says he lost his re-election bid after championing the rebuilding of storm-damaged subsidized housing in his city, believes he has a shot against Paxton, who is facing an FBI investigation but has not yet been charged with any crime.
