About
Entered public office in 2002 with under $175,000 in assets. Now controls millions — spread across 11+ properties in Texas, Oklahoma, Utah, Florida, and Hawaii. Government salary never exceeded $161,000. Nobody in Austin can explain the math. Ken isn't offering.
Every office Ken Paxton has held has made him wealthier. Every scandal has been an opportunity. Every investigation has been managed, delayed, or made to disappear. That's not a political career. That's a business model.
While serving as Texas Attorney General — the state's top law enforcement officer — Paxton was indicted on two first-degree felony counts of securities fraud. He held that distinction for nine years without standing trial. He finally settled in 2024, paying $300,000. The victims got pennies. Ken kept the office.
When donor Nate Paul needed protection from federal investigators, Paxton used the full weight of the AG's office to provide it. Paul had employed Paxton's mistress. Eight of his own senior staff reported the arrangement to the FBI as bribery. Paxton fired them. A court awarded those staffers $6.6 million. Texans are paying the bill.
Four properties. Four mortgage applications falsely claiming primary residence. All four rented out for profit. One operating today as a luxury VRBO cabin in Oklahoma. Falsely claiming a primary residence on a mortgage is a federal crime under 18 U.S.C. § 1014 — punishable by up to 30 years per violation. Still unresolved.
Core competency: Turning public trust into private wealth.
Now he wants a Senate seat. Same man. Bigger office. More to exploit.

"Honored to announce I'm seeking the U.S. Senate seat. Texas deserves a proven fighter." [Fact: Impeached for bribery. Defrauded investors. Fraudulently mortgaged four homes. Let a child sex trafficker walk. Now asking for a promotion.]

Ken Paxton commented on a post · January 2024
"People are blowing this impeachment out of proportion. If Texans actually cared, I wouldn't have so many donors still calling me." [Fact: The accusation was bribery, abuse of office, and deploying state law enforcement to protect a donor bankrolling his affair. 121 Republicans disagreed.]

Experience
TX
Attorney General of Texas
Office of the Attorney General · Full-time
Jan 2015 – Present · 10 yrs · Austin, Texas
- 2015 — Entered office under active felony indictment on two first-degree counts of securities fraud. One of the only sitting AGs in U.S. history to hold that distinction.
- 2018 — Began affair with Laura Olson. Directed chief of staff to lie to his wife. When confronted: "You don't understand — I still love her."
- 2019 — Donor Nate Paul employed Paxton's mistress, moving her from San Antonio to Austin. Paxton began intervening in Paul's federal investigations — pressuring staff and directing the AG's office to benefit Paul personally.
- 2019 — All-expenses-paid 10-day trip to China against staff advice. Met directly with CCP officials and corporate lobbyists. No disclosure of who paid. No accounting of what was discussed.
- 2020 — Eight senior Republican staffers reported him to the FBI for bribery and abuse of office. Paxton fired all eight. Human trafficking unit secured zero convictions all year.
- 2023 — Let accused child sex trafficker Rakim Sharkey avoid prison time and sex offender registration despite overwhelming evidence involving two minor victims.
- 2023 — Impeached by 121 Republicans on articles of bribery, abuse of office, and misuse of state resources. Within months, awarded a multimillion-dollar state antitrust contract to Tony Buzbee — the lawyer who just defended him at trial. No antitrust background. No recusal.
- 2024 — Settled nine-year securities fraud case for $300,000. Began second affair with Christian influencer, and mother of 7, Tracy Duhon. Continued on a $3.5M real estate buying spree across Florida, Utah, Oklahoma, and Hawaii. Wife Angela filed for divorce "on biblical grounds," citing adultery.
- 2025 — Judge ordered $6.6M paid to the eight whistleblowers he fired. Texans footing the bill. Rakim Sharkey — given a no-prison deal by Paxton's office in 2017 — rearrested for assault with a deadly weapon, unlawful restraint, and burglary. Violated FEC rules on day one of his Senate campaign.
- 2026 — Offered sweetheart plea deal to Waco attorney Adam Hoffman after years of child sexual abuse allegations. Defense attorney tied to Paxton donor network.
⚑ Impeached 2023 — 121 Republicans voted yes

State Senator
Texas State Senate
Jan 2013 – Jan 2015 · 2 yrs · Austin, Texas
- 2012 — Pocketed a $1,000 Montblanc pen from a courthouse security tray at the Collin County Courthouse. Only returned it after the sheriff reviewed surveillance footage and sent a deputy to retrieve it. Called it "a simple mistake."
- 2013–2014 — Used the seat to build toward the AG's office. Continued holding undisclosed investments while in public office.
Stepping stone. Nothing more.
TX
State Representative
Texas House of Representatives
Jan 2003 – Jan 2013 · 10 yrs · Austin, Texas
- 2006 — WatchGuard Video — a company Paxton held stock in — won a $10M contract with the Texas Department of Public Safety. Never disclosed the investment to the Texas Ethics Commission as required by law.
- 2008 — AP reports Paxton voted to fund WatchGuard's state contract while holding undisclosed stock. His response: "I didn't even know we had contracts with the state of Texas." WatchGuard's own website listed him as part of "an influential shareholder group that includes three state representatives." On disclosure: "I don't see why it would help taxpayers to know that."
- 2011 — Solicited $840,000 from investors — including fellow legislators — in Servergy Inc. without disclosing he was being paid a commission. Resulted in two first-degree felony counts and a nine-year legal battle.

He let a man who trafficked children walk free. Then he ran for Senate and called himself a fighter for Texas. I can't.
