  • More Paxton Momentum: Dr. Steve Hotze Endorses Ken Paxton
    For Immediate Release – March 12, 2014 Contact: Anthony Holm: [email protected] More Paxton Momentum: Dr. Steve Hotze Endorses Ken Paxton (McKinney, Texas) - Senator Ken Paxton today announced the endorsement of Dr. Steve Hotze, President of Conservative Republicans of Texas, in his campaign for Texas Attorney General. Dr. Hotze said, “Time and time again Senator Ken Paxton has demonstrated the courage of his conservative convictions, fighting for pro-life, biblical marriage, pro-family, pro-gun, anti-tax and free enterprise legislation. Ken has challenged the Republican establishment when he felt that their positions were wrong. Ken Paxton will make an outstanding Attorney General of Texas and further advance our current Attorney General Abbott’s efforts of challenging the federal government’s infringements upon our state’s rights.” Senator Paxton commented, “I appreciate Dr. Hotze’s endorsement, particularly because we are likely to be outspent once again in the runoff and his advocacy of my candidacy will resonate with grassroots voters. Dr. Hotze’s endorsement underscores the continued momentum of my campaign support which has grown since last Tuesday. ” Last Tuesday, Senator Paxton shocked political observers with his first-place showing. During early voting, the Dan Branch campaign released a poll showing Representative Branch with an almost 2-1 lead over Senator Paxton. Despite being outspent more than 2-1, Senator Paxton led the field with 44%, coming within just 6 points of winning outright. Additionally, Paxton won Dan Branch’s home county of Dallas and his other “home” county of Bexar, where Rep. Branch grew up and still has family.

Since 2003, Branch has served in the Texas House of Representatives, where he led the way in balancing six straight budgets without raising taxes, passing the largest tax cut in Texas history, championing pro-life legislation, and enacting landmark tort reform legislation that has helped Texas create nearly one-third of the net new jobs in America over the past 10 years. “Over the last decade, I've helped lead the fight in the legislature to reform our civil justice system and place a choke hold on frivolous lawsuits. While some talked about it, I actually cast the tough votes to make it happen.
