The Texas Ethics Commission treasurer list is a campaign-finance filing, not the ballot. The commission says the office on that form is what the filer wrote and may be out of date.

This page does not endorse anyone.

The Office of the Attorney General lists Ken Paxton as the current attorney general, elected in 2014 and re-elected in 2018 and 2022, and he is not certified for attorney general on this ballot (https://texasattorneygeneral.gov/about-office).

Mayes Middleton

Mayes Middleton, Republican, is certified for attorney general. The Texas Senate lists him as the Republican senator for District 11, a Senate member since 2023 after two terms in the Texas House, and says his hometown is Galveston.

Nathan Johnson

Nathan Johnson, Democratic, is certified for attorney general. The Texas Senate lists him as the Democratic senator for District 16, in Dallas County, a Senate member since 2019, and says he is an attorney.
