The Texas Forward Party is deeply concerned by the Senate’s acquittal in the case against Attorney General Ken Paxton. We believe this decision was based on the fear of political consequences, rather than on a sober assessment of the evidence laid before them. Their actions significantly undermine the principles of transparency and accountability that should underpin all areas of public service and compromise the integrity of our judicial and political systems. The Forward Party seeks to restore the core values and ethics that uphold the integrity of our systems and protect the best interests of every Texan.

We write today to make sure you saw the news out of Texas: State Attorney General Ken Paxton, among the most corrupt politicians in the country, is still in office after being acquitted in his impeachment trial. Our colleagues leading the Texas Forward Party released this statement over the weekend, and we hope you’ll take the time to read and share it.
