Joan Huffman (R), Mayes Middleton (R), Aaron Reitz (R), and Chip Roy (R) are running in the Republican primary election for Texas Attorney General on March 3, 2026.

Incumbent Ken Paxton (R) is running in the Republican primary for U.S. Senate in Texas in 2026.

The Texas Tribune's Gabby Birenbaum and Eleanor Klibanoff wrote that "[as] the biggest attorney general's office in a red state, Texas' top lawyer serves an outsized role in the conservative legal movement." Birenbaum also said the race will likely be characterized by candidates "position[ing] themselves as the ideological heirs to Paxton’s conservative legal movement, which has put Texas at the forefront of high-profile cases on religious liberty, abortion and election law."

Huffman was elected to the Texas State Senate in 2008. She previously worked as a prosecutor and a judge. Huffman is campaigning on her legal experience, saying she has worked to "[uphold] the rule of law and [protect] our families." She is also campaigning on her support of law enforcement and public safety, highlighting legislation she wrote that increased penalties for violent crimes, targeted drug trafficking, and funded border security. The Houston Police Officers Union and Texas Department of Public Safety Officers Association endorsed Huffman.

Middleton was elected to the state Senate in 2023 and served in the Texas House of Representatives from 2019 to 2023. He is an attorney and president of an oil company. Middleton is campaigning on his support for President Donald Trump’s (R) agenda, calling himself "a steadfast ally of President Trump and a proven champion of the America First movement." Middleton says he would focus on public safety and would “fight to secure the border, ensure law and order, and be tough on crime." U.S. Rep. Randy Weber (R-Texas) endorsed Middleton.

Reitz is an attorney who served as Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Policy in the U.S. Department of Justice from March to June 2025, and he previously served as Texas’ Deputy Attorney General for Legal Strategy under Paxton. Reitz is campaigning on his support of Paxton, saying, "Under Ken Paxton, Texas has been a shining example for the conservative movement on how to fight and win against the enemies of Law, Order, and Liberty." He is also campaigning on his support of and connection to Trump, saying he would "ensure the full weight of the Office of the Attorney General is behind President Trump and his agenda," and noting that Trump called him "a true MAGA attorney." Paxton endorsed Reitz.

Roy was elected to the U.S. House in 2019. He previously served as Texas’ First Assistant Attorney General under Paxton. Roy is campaigning on his support of Paxton’s legal approach, saying, "[Paxton] and his team have done a great job fighting to defend Texas … We’re going to continue that legacy going forward." Highlighting his legislative career, Roy says he has experience with border security, supporting law enforcement, and combating election fraud. U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) endorsed Roy.

Party: Republican Party

Incumbent: No

Political Office: None

Submitted Biography:  "I’m a Christian, husband, father of four, U.S. Marine, and lifelong conservative fighter who has spent my career on the front lines of lawfare combat. I married my high school sweetheart, and together we’re raising our family in Central Texas. I joined the Marine Corps out of a deep sense of duty, serving in Afghanistan and swearing an oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic—a promise I’ve carried with me into every role since. After my military service, I dedicated my career to defending Texas and conservative values in the legal and political arena. I served as Ken Paxton’s Deputy Attorney General for Legal Strategy, where I led Texas’s biggest fights on border security, election integrity, and constitutional freedoms. I later served as Chief of Staff to Senator Ted Cruz and was appointed by President Trump and confirmed by the U.S. Senate to run the Office of Legal Policy at the Department of Justice, where I helped shape national legal strategy and advance the America First justice agenda. In every chapter of my life, I’ve fought for the principles that keep Texas strong: faith, family, freedom, and the rule of law. I’m not a career politician; I’m a Texan who knows our state and nation are worth defending with everything I have. My record proves I know how to win the battles that matter most, and I’m ready to keep serving Texans with the same grit, conviction, and integrity that have guided me my entire life."

---

My campaign is all about advancing an America First Law & Order agenda that puts Texans’ freedoms, rights, safety, and sovereignty first. As Attorney General, I will use every tool at my disposal to secure the border, protect jobs, defend constitutional rights, and push back against the radical left’s attempts to remake our state. By going on offense in the courts, I will make sure Texas remains the stronghold of Liberty and the Rule of Law in America.

---

Securing our southern border is non-negotiable. I will relentlessly pursue legal action against anyone aiding illegal immigration, target the cartels driving human and drug trafficking, and back law enforcement with every tool available. As a former senior Trump DOJ official, I am uniquely positioned to partner with the White House to accelerate operations that identify, arrest, detain, and deport illegal aliens. Restoring border security will protect Texas families, strengthen our economy, and preserve our state’s sovereignty.

---

I will root out corruption and stop far-left local governments from undermining Texas values. Rogue officials will be held accountable, radical policies blocked, and the far left prevented from steering our state into the ditch. By defending the Constitution and enforcing the rule of law, Texas will remain strong, free, and firmly grounded in the principles that built America.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Aaron Reitz (R)

My campaign is all about advancing an America First Law & Order agenda that puts Texans’ freedoms, rights, safety, and sovereignty first. As Attorney General, I will use every tool at my disposal to secure the border, protect jobs, defend constitutional rights, and push back against the radical left’s attempts to remake our state. By going on offense in the courts, I will make sure Texas remains the stronghold of Liberty and the Rule of Law in America.

Securing our southern border is non-negotiable. I will relentlessly pursue legal action against anyone aiding illegal immigration, target the cartels driving human and drug trafficking, and back law enforcement with every tool available. As a former senior Trump DOJ official, I am uniquely positioned to partner with the White House to accelerate operations that identify, arrest, detain, and deport illegal aliens. Restoring border security will protect Texas families, strengthen our economy, and preserve our state’s sovereignty.

I will root out corruption and stop far-left local governments from undermining Texas values. Rogue officials will be held accountable, radical policies blocked, and the far left prevented from steering our state into the ditch. By defending the Constitution and enforcing the rule of law, Texas will remain strong, free, and firmly grounded in the principles that built America.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Aaron Reitz (R)

I’m passionate about driving forward the America First Law-and-Order Agenda. That means securing our border and protecting Texas sovereignty, rooting out corruption wherever it hides, and stopping radical blue city and county governments from dragging Texas into the ditch. It means advancing the Constitution, restoring the rule of law, defending families, and protecting kids from the Left’s reckless experiments. At every turn, my focus is simple: keep Texas strong, free, safe, and firmly planted on conservative principles.

What qualities does this office possess that makes it a unique and important part of the state government and legal system?

Aaron Reitz (R)

The Attorney General’s office is both a shield and a sword for Texas. I will defend our state from the radical left, enforce our laws, and protect Texas values proactively before they’re eroded.

The National Association of Attorneys General has described the office as being at the "intersection of law and public policy." What does that mean to you?

Aaron Reitz (R)

It means using the law strategically to shape public policy, protect freedoms, and set legal precedents. I’ve done this as AG Paxton’s “offensive coordinator,” which is why I earned his full endorsement to succeed him.

The attorney general often sets policy priorities for law enforcement. For example, a state's attorney general may decide to dedicate extra resources to combat human trafficking. Are there certain areas of law enforcement that you would emphasize?

Aaron Reitz (R)

I back law enforcement 100%. I will crack down on violent crime, prosecute corruption, and fight cartel-driven trafficking and immigration threatening Texas communities.

A state's attorney general has many responsibilities. Which of those do you personally consider the most important?

Aaron Reitz (R)

The AG must act as a legal firewall for Texas. I will defend the Constitution, hold criminals and corrupt officials accountable, and use every tool to stop the radical left from reshaping our state.

Attorneys general can represent their states in legal conflicts with the federal government. Do you consider this an important part of an attorney general's responsibilities?

Aaron Reitz (R)

Absolutely. I will go on offense against bureaucratic and deep state overreach, protect Texas sovereignty, challenge unlawful mandates, and defend federalism—all while leveraging my experience as a former Trump DOJ official.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for a state's attorney general to have previous experience in government or politics?

Aaron Reitz (R)

Experience matters. I’ve served as a Marine Officer, Attorney General Paxton’s Deputy, Chief of Staff to Senator Ted Cruz, and senior Trump DOJ executive. I bring proven leadership, real-world results, and the battle scars necessary to lead Texas’s Attorney General Office from Day One.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

Aaron Reitz (R)

Core Book: Bible. Non-Fiction: Anything by Patrick Buchanan. Fiction: Starship Troopers or Blood Meridian. Film: Gladiator.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Aaron Reitz (R)

Courage, energy, integrity, and loyalty to the Constitution and Rule of Law. I keep my word, take bold stands for Texans, and make every decision grounded in law, limited government, God-given rights, and an America First, MAGA philosophy.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Aaron Reitz (R)

The Texas Attorney General must defend our Constitution and protect freedom. I will enforce state law, safeguard Texas sovereignty, and challenge lawbreakers everywhere they may be found. President Trump called me a “true MAGA attorney” and “warrior for our Constitution” for this very reason.

What legacy would you like to leave?

Aaron Reitz (R)

x

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

Aaron Reitz (R)

9/11 happened when I was a Freshman in High School, and it set me on a trajectory I hadn't considered till then: Service in the United States Marine Corps.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

Aaron Reitz (R)

Lifeguard in San Antonio. Summer 2003.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

Aaron Reitz (R)

Major endorsements include: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, The National Border Patrol Council, Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC)

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

Aaron Reitz (R)

I stand with President Trump: no official is above the law. I will ensure taxpayer dollars are spent wisely, public records remain open, and government accountability is enforced at every level.

Polls

Polls are conducted with a variety of methodologies and have margins of error or credibility intervals. The Pew Research Center wrote, "A margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points at the 95% confidence level means that if we fielded the same survey 100 times, we would expect the result to be within 3 percentage points of the true population value 95 of those times."
