Your Attorney General should deliver for you, not party bosses or billionaire donors. In the Senate, I've expanded health care, fortified the power grid, and led the fight against corruption in the highest levels of state government. I'm ready to deliver even bigger wins as AG.

One of the beautiful things about Texas is how different every part of it is from everywhere else. As your Attorney General, I look forward to representing all of Texas, and all of you.

I’m ready to work with the Legislature to ensure the AG’s office can effectively protect Texans and serve the public interest. We must modernize our market competition, consumer protection, and employment laws to keep pace with emerging industries and technologies. I have a plan to get it done.

Team Johnson cast their ballots today and met some supporters along the way! Their excellent work has set us up for the win, and I’m lucky to have them by my side. Follow their example and vote! Early Voting ends October 30, and Election Day is November 3!

The rule of law is the rule of law, no matter your party. That’s why two former Texas Supreme Court justices, both appointed by a Republican governor and elected on the Republican ticket, endorsed me in this race. I’m honored by the confidence Chief Justice Tom Phillips and Justice Deborah Hankinson have placed in me.

The Texas Attorney General race is worthy of more attention than it gets. The office is tremendously powerful, and we’ve seen how damaging it can be under the wrong leadership. You have a voice in how that power will be used for the next four years. Please be sure to use it.

“Johnson is running on a platform of returning the office to its core, nonpartisan duties: rooting out corruption, tackling uncompetitive markets, protecting consumers, helping local officials uphold public safety, and overall standing on the side of Texans.” “The differences between the two candidates vying to replace Paxton are stark: One promises to continue Paxton’s legacy; the other promises to make a clean break from it. Johnson is the latter.” - Houston Chronicle

There are only two choices in this race. My opponent “MAGA Mayes” Middleton promises to misuse the office for purely partisan purposes. I pledge to restore the office to its constitutional purposes.

While Mayes Middleton promises to follow in Ken Paxton’s footsteps, I’m promising a new path. When I’m Attorney General, I’ll root out corruption, block federal overreach, and sue companies who rig markets to raise your prices. Corruption and abuse of power in the AG‘s office ends this November.

“We strongly recommend state Sen. Nathan Johnson, a Dallas attorney with a demonstrated fidelity to the Constitution, as the leader to reset the attorney general’s office to serve all Texans, not one party.” “Johnson represents not only a clean break from the Paxton era but a fresh focus on Texans’ shared interests. He is not only the best choice for attorney general, he is the urgently needed one.” -Austin American-Statesman

If we’re giving Elon Musk preferential access to state contracts because of his wealth and connections, that’s corruption. We cannot put the interests of our state aside to pay monopolists and insiders three times what their competitors charge. I’m ready to investigate.

Think the Attorney General’s office has become too political? I do. Mayes Middleton doesn’t. After 12 years of Ken Paxton, we need an Attorney General who will put the rule of law over politics and the public good over a personal agenda. Texas could use a good lawyer.

People are feeling like the law is being used against them instead of for them. I want people to know that the law is on their side, and that their Attorney General will be their lawyer — representing them, their families, their businesses, and our state.

Losing the AG’s race is not an option. Texas cannot afford an Attorney General whose allegiance is to Donald Trump and his unabashedly corrupt corporate contributors. Over the past year, Democratic AGs across the country have blocked dozens of Trump’s illegal actions along with predatory practices by big companies. Let’s get the Texas AG’s office back to serving the people of Texas.

Former Supreme Court justices from TX GOP endorse Nathan Johnson (D) to replace Paxton as Texas Attorney General. Nathan Johnson will make a strong, steady, credible AG for all Texans. Someone willing and able to defend our great state, your rights, and our public schools. MAGA doesn’t just offer copy/paste, but someone who personally sanctioned Paxton’s actions in the very office he now seeks. texastribune.org/2026/08/31/…

Until Flock cameras can be deployed responsibly, we should slow down their implementation. Camera technology can help law enforcement fight crime, but Texans shouldn’t have to sacrifice their privacy in the process.
