Republican Candidate For Attorney General Ken Paxton Is MIA After Disclosure Issues Revealed
Texas state Senator Ken Paxton (R-McKinney), leading Republican candidate for Attorney General and known-BFF of U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, has gone MIA since improprieties in his financial disclosures were revealed by documents obtained by The Texas Tribune.
According to The Texas Tribune, Paxton "was being paid to solicit clients for a North Texas financial services firm at a time when he was not registered with the State Securities Board." Paxton also failed to "reveal his solicitor work on the employment history section of his personal financial statements, which must be filed regularly with the Texas Ethics Commission."
One would think a candidate running for Attorney General would know the laws a little better, and have an actual record of complying with them.
After his financial disclosure problems were revealed by the Tribune, Paxton has since amended several personal financial statements he previously had failed to do. Yet, according to the Quorum Report, Paxton was so late in paying his taxes that a tax lien has been placed on his campaign.
