Texas Attorney General · Texas
The collected reports describe Warren Kenneth Paxton Jr. as Texas attorney general. The Federal Election Commission entry concerns his 2026 U.S. Senate campaign in Texas. Most of the evidence concerns lawsuits brought or defended through the attorney general's office, rather than Senate actions. The file also includes campaign receipts and proposals concerning data centers and children, but it contains little information about results and no evidence on several topics.

These notes describe documented positions and actions only. They are not a judgment of the person and never a voting recommendation.
What this office can actually decide
Under the U.S. Constitution, a senator votes on federal legislation and spending, while the Senate also considers presidential appointments and treaties. A senator can propose laws but cannot enact them alone or direct Texas lawsuits. A campaign proposal requiring federal legislation would need action by Congress and the president, unless Congress overrides a veto.
