My name is Rochelle Garza and I am the Democratic nominee for TX Attorney General. I'm running because I will never stand by and let our rights be taken away.
Run, Ken, run! 🏃
Ken Paxton is a coward.
He is running away from his felony indictments, his FBI investigation and now, nonprofits. And his wife is driving the getaway car.
My name is Rochelle Garza and I’m running to uphold the rule of law –– not run away from it.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton fled his home Monday in a truck driven by his wife, state Sen. Angela Paxton, to avoid being served a subpoena, according to an affidavit filed in federal court.
My name is Rochelle Garza. As an attorney, I've fought Trump, Kavanaugh, and indicted Ken Paxton before - and won.

During a record-breaking heat wave, ERCOT has been BEGGING Texans to conserve energy to prevent rolling blackouts.
Texas is the energy capital of the world. And to this day the Texas GOP hasn't fixed the power grid.
As your AG, I will investigate ERCOT and their many failures.
In 2017, I represented a detained 17-year-old who was denied her right to an abortion. It led me to take on Brett Kavanaugh in the only abortion case he heard as an appellate judge.
I took on Trump, Kavanaugh and Paxton — and WON.
Together, we can win again in November.
BREAKING: Today, abortion funds and a Texas doctor have filed a suit against AG Ken Paxton and a collection of DAs arguing that enforcing abortion bans would violate the right to travel & the right to free speech.

Join the fight for all Texans.

🙋🏽♀️ Raise your hand if you're ready to get rid of criminally indicted Ken Paxton.
UPDATE: The latest poll shows we are within 3 points!
Texans are sick and tired of AG Ken Paxton's corruption and failed leadership. I've beat him in court before and we'll beat him in November.
Last night, two men under FBI investigation campaigned in Texas, telling the crowd how scared they are that I’m days away from being elected the next AG.
When I’m AG this office returns to the people of Texas and Paxton will finally have to answer for his crimes. He’s terrified.
This is abhorrent. As if SB1 wasn't enough, Texas is now sending letters forcing voters to verify their citizenship. And no shock here - almost every voter receiving these letters is Latino, even voters who've been citizens for 20+ years. This blatant racism has to stop.
I'm a fifth-generation Texan, born and raised in the Rio Grande Valley, and a new mom.
I am running for Attorney General to fight to make Texas fair and just for everyone.
Ken Paxton might be the most corrupt politician in America.
Fraud, theft, bribery, and possible treason.
Paxton is running from the law. I'm running to uphold it.
I'm a 5th-generation Texan and a new mom. I want my daughter to grow up in a state that recognizes her freedoms and potential. I want her to love Texas just as my family has for generations.
I'm running to be your AG to fight for a Texas that will make future generations proud.
If Ken Paxton's 2 criminal indictments, his FBI investigation, & the Texas Bar currently suing him aren't enough for you to believe he's corrupt, don't worry, he's not done yet.
Now, he’d rather elected officials give themselves raises w/o telling people in their communities.
I'm a 5th generation Texan, a new mom & a civil rights attorney.
I'll be DAMNED if I watch our rights stripped away and do nothing.
This moment is too important not to act. I'm the Democratic nominee for Texas Attorney General. Together we will beat Ken Paxton.
Twice-indicted Ken Paxton is continuing to attack our LGBTQ children and is now suing the USDA over a school lunch program that prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
Are we really talking about not feeding our children?!
We are in the runoff, y'all! With 43.2% of the vote (as of right now), it's clear that Texans are ready for me to be the first Latina Texas Attorney General
But I need your help to get there.
AG Ken Paxton doesn't believe the law applies to him. He's been indicted and is under FBI investigation. Now he's begging the Texas Ethics Commission not to fine him.
The Texas Attorney General is supposed to enforce the Texas Ethics Commission’s rules, not break them.
Roe has been overturned. I'm angry and I know you are too.
But I’ve taken on the fight for our reproductive rights before and, together, I KNOW we can win again.
My name is Rochelle Garza and I'm running for Texas Attorney General to stand up for all of our rights.
Criminally-indicted Ken Paxton is attacking me on TV because he is scared. We are within striking distance — we can win this.
Texans won't forget Paxton has been twice-indicted for nearly a decade without trial, FBI investigated and a coward who runs away from the law.
Thank you,
@0liviajulianna
, for turning hatred into healthcare & for the shoutout.
Winning the Texas AG race is the first step towards restoring reproductive rights in our state. I’ve fought for abortion access before & won. Together, we can win again.
Juntas en la lucha ✊🏽
If Ken Paxton, Dan Patrick, and Greg Abbott didn't want to "politicize a tragedy," they wouldn't be planning to fly down to Houston and fundraise with the NRA this weekend. Texas NEEDS new leadership that will put the safety of our children over the priorities of the NRA.
This is fascism.
Texas Republicans are threatening to take away our freedom to travel out of state, imprison business owners, and disbar attorneys.
They won’t stop at abortion.
The TX AG has broad constitutional powers. I’m in this fight for our freedoms.
Let me reintroduce myself.
My name is Rochelle Garza. I'm a 5th generation Texan from the Rio Grande Valley, a civil rights attorney, an expecting mom of a baby girl, and I'm running as a Democrat for Texas Attorney General.

Did you know that the Texas State Bar Association is currently suing Ken Paxton for professional misconduct and he could be DISBARRED?
Texas’ Attorney General could soon lose his LICENSE TO PRACTICE LAW IN THE STATE OF TEXAS.
We need to vote him out.
I believe that every Texan has the right to determine if, when, and how to become a parent.
I believe that every student should feel safe in school.
I believe our leaders should work for us, not for corporate or self-interests.
I believe it's time for new leadership in TX.
I believe every Texan should have the freedom to decide if, when, and how to start a family.
We don't need the Attorney General's office to prosecute the people for exercising their freedoms.
The job of the attorney general is to be the people’s lawyer.
But Ken Paxton is abusing his power and wasting our tax dollars on political grandstanding.
He is corrupt and he is a threat to the Texas we love.
My husband, Adam, and I are over the moon to welcome our daughter into the world. She is now part of a loving family that includes very excited first-time grandparents, aunts, and uncles.
The TX Attorney General should work for the people. Ken Paxton is more interested in protecting power companies, the gun lobby, and his big donors.
When I'm AG, I will always stand up and put the people first. Of the people. By the people. For the people.
In 2017, I fought Paxton, Trump and Kavanaugh to ensure my client, Jane Doe, had access to abortion care. That case resulted in the "Garza Notice" which is still in effect today.
As AG, I will be relentless in the fight to protect and defend our reproductive rights.
I'm a new mom and a fifth-generation Texan. I beat Ken Paxton in court, and I plan on beating him at the ballot box in November.
Join me in voting extremist Paxton out and bringing integrity back to the office of the Attorney General.
Paxton is corrupt, unjust, and harmful to Texans — answering only to his special interests.
This is why Paxton is the weakest statewide incumbent, and polls show we are within striking distance of beating him.
Donate now to defeat Ken Paxton.
The Texas State Bar doesn't think our Attorney General, twice-indicted Ken Paxton, has the integrity to be an attorney.
Ken Paxton might be disbarred for attempting to overturn the 2020 election.
We deserve an Attorney General who believes in democracy.
The outpouring of support I've received since announcing my campaign for Texas AG has been incredible. Since our launch yesterday, we've already gained over 7k followers. But Ken Paxton has over 150k followers.
Retweet and follow to show him that this campaign means business.
Sometimes criminals carry guns to rob you on the streets.
Sometimes they carry briefcases to rob you of your personal freedoms.
I’m running for Texas Attorney General to protect us from both.
I'm a fifth-generation Texan, a new mom, and your Democratic nominee for Texas AG.
I'm ready to take on Ken Paxton in November and WIN.
Join our campaign today!
When I was a kid I met my hero, Gov. Ann Richards. Today would have been her 89th birthday.
May her memory be a reminder of the strength and tenacity of Texas women.
She se puede!
The latest poll has us neck and neck with twice-indicted Ken Paxton.
This race is ours for the taking, let's fight to win it, and fight for the Texas we deserve.
I was raised in Brownsville, the daughter of two public school teachers.
I became a lawyer to fight for all people — children, immigrants, and families.
I am running to be your Attorney General to fight for you. Join me today to give this office back to the people.
When my client — Jane Doe, a 17-year-old detained immigrant — was denied her reproductive rights, we fought back. We took on Ken Paxton, Brett Kavanaugh, and Donald Trump — and we WON.
Now I'm running to beat Texas AG Ken Paxton again & protect our reproductive rights. Join me.
I may be the first Latina to be nominated for TX AG in its 176 year history, but I won’t be the last.
Happy
#NationalLatinaDay
to all the chingonas making change and fighting for our families.
She👏🏽Se👏🏽Puede!
Texans dying in ER rooms while doctors stand by because YOU tied their hands isn't a win for mothers, babies, or our health care providers.
Blocking emergency abortions to save lives isn’t pro-life, it’s pro-death.
BREAKING: Another win against Biden. I recently sued Biden to block his attempt to use HHS regs to transform every emergency room in the country into a walk-in abortion clinic. Last night, the court ruled in favor of Texas! A WIN for mothers, babies, & the TX healthcare industry.
Ken Paxton has failed as Attorney General. He has failed to uphold the integrity of our elections, he has failed to protect women, and he has failed to protect consumers.
Texans deserve an AG who will fight for our families.
We can win in November, join my campaign today!
I'm a civil rights attorney. I've dedicated my career to expanding our rights in Texas, not taking them away.
With your help, I can defeat criminally indicted Ken Paxton and become your Attorney General on Tuesday.
I'm in this fight for all of us.
I was raised in Brownsville. I am the daughter of two public school teachers.
I became a lawyer to fight for people — children, immigrants, & families.
I am running to be your Attorney General to fight for you. Let's show up on Tuesday to give this office back to the people.
Don't let anyone tell you grassroots support is meaningless.
Today, Ken Paxton is in New Jersey, raising money with Trump. You helped us raise $50k yesterday — help us make it $100k!
Let's show them Texans are tired of their corruption.
I’m Rochelle. 👋🏽 I’m your Democratic Nominee for TX Attorney General, a fronteriza, civil rights attorney & a new mom.
I believe in the right to choose, legalizing cannabis, holding corporations accountable, & that y’all means all.
Together, we can create a better Texas.
In 2017, I took Kavanaugh on in the only abortion case he ever heard as a judge & WON.
And when Trump nominated him to the Supreme Court, I stood up & testified against him.
He has taken our reproductive rights away, but this isn't over. Together, we will beat him again.
As an attorney, a woman, and a Texan — I've had enough of Ken Paxton's abuse of power.
We deserve an AG who will fight to defend the rights of all Texans, and I will deliver for our families to make Texas big enough for everyone.
I'm proud to have the endorsement of every major newspaper in Texas.
They know it's time to restore honor & integrity to the Attorney General's office and end Ken Paxton's corruption.
In two weeks, we will make history and win this race.
I’m a civil rights attorney, a fifth-generation Texan from the Rio Grande Valley, and a new mom.
This fight is crystal clear to me. We deserve an AG who will fight to defend the rights of all Texans.
Together, let’s build a Texas we can be proud to hand down to our children.
The GOP Party Chair says he doesn't know who I am. Their frantic fundraising for twice-indicted Ken Paxton says otherwise.
They know my name, and they'll be saying it often after I defeat Paxton on Nov. 8!
We are tied with Ken Paxton in our race for AG, and the next few months are critical.
They will determine whether or not we win.
We need you to join our campaign today. Chip in what you can to build a better Texas.
Roe was just the first — they won’t stop till they roll back all of our civil rights.
We MUST kick Ken Paxton out of office this Nov.
When I’m Attorney General, Texans will have a Civil Rights Division to protect ALL of our rights.
Y’all means all. Period.
NEW: The Attorney General of Texas, Ken Paxton (R), just said that the Supreme Court should overturn Lawrence v. Texas, which struck down laws that banned LGBTQ people from having sex. If this happened, 16 states have laws banning “sodomy” that would immediately go into effect.
It’s been great traveling with
@BetoORourke
From Brownsville to Alamo, Laredo to Eagle Pass, Texans are ready for leaders that understand nuestra comunidad.
I’m proud to be from the border, and as AG, I’ll be a champion for the hard-working people of Texas.
Sin miedo!
The Texas Attorney General primary is one month away.
Are you ready to elect the first Latina AG in Texas? I will fight to defend repro rights, voting rights, health care access, and ensure we fix the damn power grid.
Criminally indicted Ken Paxton is totally out of touch with Texans.
9 out of 10 voters in Texas want abortion access in some form. Total bans, and criminalizing women and reproductive care providers are not what Texans want.
Let's vote Ken Paxton out in November.
A disturbing story from the
@AP
reports Paxton's failure in managing sex trafficking cases and even a donor-turned-staffer who showed child pornography in a meeting.
I'm calling on the Texas Rangers to investigate Ken Paxton's mismanagement of the AG's Office. 🧵
