U.S. Representative Chip Roy said Thursday he will seek the Republican nomination for Texas attorney general in the 2026 election. The three-term lawmaker from the state’s 21st District framed his campaign around continuing what he called a conservative legal agenda in Austin. Roy’s entry sets up a contest for the office now held by Republican Ken Paxton, who has announced a bid for the U.S. Senate. Paxton’s decision opens one of the state’s highest-profile statewide posts and gives Roy, a prominent conservative voice in Congress, a statewide platform to extend his political reach.

I support @chiproytx for Texas AG. Chip was a strong pro-@GovRonDeSantis supporter in the 2024 campaign and did yeoman's work for DeSantis on the campaign trail. https://t.co/s8YaHdOHvI https://t.co/nr51wRYzRK
