Democratic attorney general candidate Joe Jaworski says local experience sets him apart

AUSTIN, Texas — The race for attorney general of Texas continues to take center stage as we head into this election year.

On the Republican side, incumbent Ken Paxton is trying to hold onto his seat against three well-known challengers – Land Commissioner George P. Bush, former Texas Supreme Court Justice Eva Guzman and Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert. All are attacking Paxton for his legal troubles, which include an FBI investigation into claims of misconduct in office and securities fraud charges. Paxton's denied wrongdoing in both.

The race has also attracted a lineup of Democrats. They include Lee Merritt, a nationally known civil rights attorney from Plano, Rochelle Garza, a former lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union from the Rio Grande Valley and Joe Jaworski, a Galveston lawyer and former mayor of the city.

Jaworski joined Capital Tonight Tuesday to discuss his campaign and says he’s battle tested and brings local experience to the job.

The only other candidate that appears to be receiving any traction is Lee Merritt, the civil rights attorney in Dallas.
