Republican Ken Paxton, the Texas attorney general running for Sen. John Cornyn‘s (R-TX) seat, appears to have violated the Lone Star State’s ethics laws by using public resources in his campaign launch ad.
The video features uniformed police officers from the Dallas suburb of Collin County, Texas, a move the Texas Ethics Commission told the Washington Examiner would typically be against its code barring the use of government resources for political advertising.
The race between Paxton and Cornyn has quickly turned ugly and will likely be one of the most expensive Republican primaries of the 2026 elections, as the two flex their conservative chops and ties to President Donald Trump.
