Senate and stop this movement we're building in our state. In all likelihood, if you've seen an attack ad on your screen, that was Elon. If you've gotten lies in your mailbox, that was Elon. If you've received a text message saying scary things about me, that was Elon too. Our movement is funded by 1 .3 million individuals who have donated their hard -earned money to our campaign. Ken Paxton is funded by one dude.
