Ken Paxton is everything that's wrong with our politics. He doesn't serve us, he serves himself. Since taking office Ken Paxton has increased his net worth by 27 million dollars, all while our pay has remained stagnant. He now owns 15 homes while most Texans are struggling to afford one. It's hard to get 15 homes in a game of Monopoly. I don't know how Ken Paxson got 15 homes. He was impeached by his own party for taking bribes from wealthy donors all while he blocked our overtime pay and gutted our health care.
