Truly grateful to be the only Attorney General candidate recognized as a Gun Sense Candidate by @momsdemandaction.org

Gun deaths have surged 63% under Greg Abbott.

We can reverse this trend and protect Texas families from the tragedies of gun violence.

Proud to be endorsed by leaders from across Texas.

This coalition reflects something simple: the need for an Attorney General who understands the law, respects its limits, and uses it to serve the public β€” not themselves.

Grateful for the trust. Ready for the work.

With the right leadership, the Attorney General’s office can be powerfully good, instead of powerfully bad.

When Ken Paxton was impeached for abusing the office, I voted to convict β€” 14 times.

It’s time for Texas to have a good lawyer.

I’m honored to have the support of Democratic leaders across the Greater Houston area.

With all of us working together, we can ensure that the law protects the fundamental rights and interests every Texan.

Thank you for standing with me in this important race.

I had some fun describing the crazy way my Republican opponents in the Texas AG race are trying to out-MAGA each other.

For some serious levity, check it out.

Democratic AGs stood up to Trump on tariffs and won β€” and secured an important check on his election meddling schemes.

SCOTUS reaffirmed a president can’t seize powers the law gives to Congress or the states.

That same principle could be the firewall protecting our 2026 elections.

As Attorney General, I’ll uphold the rule of law, even when the Governor and the Legislature don’t.

It's time Texas had a good lawyer.

Today my daughter Sophie and I cast our votes in the Democratic primary election.

I’m running for Texas Attorney General because Texans need a good lawyer: someone who upholds the rule law for the benefit of the people!

Vote early for Nathan Johnson for Texas AG. Let’s do this!

The Supreme Court just ended Trump’s tariffs in a 6-3 decision.

It was 12 Democratic AGs who brought this case – while Republicans cowardly sat on their hands while Americans paid the price.

We must elect a Democratic Attorney General who'll protect jobs, lower costs, and put Texans first.

I’m honored to be endorsed by these Central Texas leaders.Β 

From Austin to San Antonio, they know what it takes to make government work β€” and they’re ready for an Attorney General who does the same.

In my eight years as a State Senator, I have:

βœ… Flipped a seat from red to blue
βœ… Expanded health care coverage for Texans
βœ… Fought Republican gerrymandering
βœ… Defended reproductive rights

It’s time Texans had an attorney general who delivers for them.

Star-Telegram endorsement: A Democrat who can compete in attorney general race Democrats have three choices for attorney general: Tony Box, Joe Jaworski and Nathan Johnson. | Opinion

β€œthe political edge belongs to Nathan Johnson, a state senator from Dallas. His record...in Austin speaks to an ability to reach across the aisle without sacrificing core values. It’s the kind of approach he’ll need for Democrats to have a chance at an upset.”

Houston. Austin. Dallas. Fort Worth.

Editorial boards across Texas agree: I have the experience we need to transform the Attorney General’s office into a powerful force for good.

Thank you for putting your trust in me to uphold the rule of law and defend the rights of every Texan.

Your Attorney General should deliver for you, not party bosses or billionaire donors.

In the Senate, I’ve expanded health care, fortified the power grid, and led the fight against corruption in the highest levels of state government.

I’m ready to deliver even bigger wins as AG.

I looked out for Sandi when it mattered, and as your Attorney General, I’ll look out for you.

Here’s why she’s supporting my campaign…

Trump isn’t just lying about elections, he’s trying to control them.

Raiding Georgia election offices, seizing voter data, and calling for β€œnationalized” elections: all to rig the rules in his favor.

As Texas AG, I’ll fight these power grabs and protect our elections.

We need an Attorney General who understands state government and who can stand up to authority.

When I speak up at the Capitol, Republicans listen β€” because accountability has a way of focusing attention.

That’s what I’ll bring to the Attorney General’s Office.

Another one of Ken Paxton’s propaganda lawsuits rejected in court.Β 

Paxton sued Jolt Initiative alleging, with no evidence, that they β€œillegally” registered voters. The court shut him down for acting in bad faith.

This wasn't about election integrity, it was about intimidation.

Paxton’s suit was not about election integrity, it was about intimidation.

We need an attorney general who takes voting rights and election integrity seriously, and who doesn’t weaponize the office to the detriment of both.

If we keep doing that β€” up and down the ballot β€” Texas is going to keep surprising people. Until it’s no longer surprising.

Taylor’s win shows what’s possible when Democrats run serious, capable leaders who are focused on solving problems instead of feeding culture wars.

It’s the same theory of change I’m running on: meet voters where they are, take their concerns seriously, and offer competent, principled leadership.

I have a record of attacking all the things that Democrats and Republicans alike are sick of, while delivering on the things that the ruling faction of Republicans have neglected – affordable healthcare and housing, stable energy, quality public education.

The result makes it in-your-face clear: while Democrats are surging to the polls, lifelong Republicans are sick of their party elevating hostility, greed, and domineering, autocratic tendencies over responsible management of the economy and fundamental human decency.

Wambsganss was and is in many ways the perfect R opponent: a clear reflection of the destructiveness the Republican Party has been offering in place of responsible leadership.

Congratulations Senator-Elect Taylor Rehmet!

Taylor was, in many ways, the perfect Democratic candidate in this red district special election: likable, indisputably a man of the people, and his campaign rhetoric focused on the issues affecting Texans the most right now.

HUGE NEWS: A federal judge just ordered the release of Liam Conejo Ramos and his father!

The ruling noted the Trump Admin is ignoring β€œan American historical document called the Declaration of Independence.”

It shouldn’t take a court order to know we can’t traumatize children.

Greg Abbott’s attack on the H-1B visa program is bad policy.

Bringing the world’s greatest talent here to innovate and research elevates our universities and grows the Texas economy.

This spiteful political scapegoating of immigrants takes us down a very wrong path.
