Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush announced Wednesday evening he is officially throwing his hat into the ring for Texas Attorney General.
He said the Republican Party needs new leadership in the AG’s Office, as current AG Ken Paxton continues to face several legal battles of his own.
He spoke to a crowd of nearly 300 in downtown Austin to lick off his campaign. Attorney General Ken Paxton is expected to announce that he will seek another term, setting up a hotly contested primary race.
Bush is the son of former Florida Gov. and 2016 presidential candidate Jeb Bush. During the rally, George P. Bush spoke approvingly of his father's former opponent, Pres. Donald Trump. It's unclear whether Trump will endorse Paxton in the race. He has already been endorsed incumbents Gov. Abbott and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick for their 2022 bids for re-election.
