While his top priority is securing the Texas border, George P. Bush says he would also be an advocate for Texas families.
HOUSTON -- For Republican George P. Bush, this race is as much about what he would do as Texas Attorney General as it is about what he says the incumbent, Ken Paxton, has done to tarnish the office.
He is under indictment for multiple securities-related crimes. He is under an FBI investigation into allegations of abuse of office and bribery, charges brought by former employees. While his top priority is securing the Texas border, Bush says he would also be an advocate for Texas families. Whoever wins will face the winner of the Democratic primary runoff between civil rights attorney Rochelle Garza and former Galveston Mayor Joe Jaworski. Garza finished first in the May 1 primary.
He lists the United States' southern border with Mexico among those problems. But the problem is not asylum seekers, as he says his Republican counterparts would have voters believe. It's the cartels, he said, and his plan would partner with the Feds to prosecute the cartel, use third-year law students to offer pro bono help to legitimate asylum seekers, and special magistrates to unclog the backlog and ease the pressure at the southern border.
