Ken Paxton and George P. Bush are in a May runoff for attorney general — the top race on that GOP ballot. But a name that’s not on the ballot might be the biggest name in that race.

Bush is the underdog in the race. He had fewer votes than Paxton in the primary, and Paxton carries the coveted endorsement from former President Donald Trump. But the incumbent is still battling his felony indictment and a newer FBI investigation.

And what they can tell us about the state of both parties going into November's midterm elections.

One House Democrat faces his toughest primary yet and the GOP governor faced far-right challengers.

Republican State Senator Dawn Buckingham and Democrat Sandragrace Martinez were respectively the top vote getters, but outright victory eluded them both.

While Paxton had a large lead over the current Texas Land Commissioner, Bush and other opponents did siphon off enough votes to go to a second round.

PORT ISABEL — More than two dozen derelict boats were recently removed from the Laguna Madre area. The Texas General Land Office’s Oil Spill Prevention and Response team wrapped up its first Port Isabel Vessel Turn-In Program, which was held January 26-29. During this four-day event, the GLO, Port Isabel and several partner agencies collected 26 vessels. Removing abandoned vessels from coastal waters comes at a considerable expense—around $200-300 per foot. The GLO and its partners encourage communities to participate in VTIP to avoid these costs and to keep their boats from becoming environmental or safety hazards.

The amended report came 13 days after the deadline and as the attorney general nears a hotly contested primary in which his ethics are a top issue.

Paxton’s attack ads suggest that he sees Gohmert as a bigger threat than the other two Republicans in the race — Land Commissioner George P. Bush and former state Supreme Court Justice Eva Guzman.
