Overview

• Cornyn unveiled a website and hotline branded KenStoppers, paired with a new digital ad urging Texans to submit anonymous tips about alleged wrongdoing by Attorney General Ken Paxton.
• The campaign says the five-figure buy is designed to spotlight existing allegations, with the site offering report categories such as adultery, financial fraud, abuse of power, pay for play, or other.
• Paxton’s office did not immediately comment on the initiative, and Paxton has repeatedly denied wrongdoing.
• Polling has fluctuated, with surveys often showing Paxton ahead, while an Emerson College poll last month put Cornyn up by one point as President Trump remains publicly undecided on an endorsement.
• Context for the attack includes Paxton’s 2015 securities case dismissed in 2025 after a pretrial agreement and his 2023 impeachment followed by acquittal, with the Justice Department declining to prosecute.
