Texas deserves an Ag Commissioner like @claytontuckertx.com who will take on data centers, protect our soil, and fight for Texas farmers.
A graphic with the title: "Meet the Candidates - Ag Commissioner." Beneath the title are two columns, one with a photo of Clayton Tucker, and another with a photo of Nate Sheets. The Tucker column reads: "Rancher and water/ag researcher; Has led the charge to protect communities from AI data centers; Will work with farmers to phase out dangerous chemicals and save Texas’ soil." The Sheets column reads: "Wants to “plow forward” on data centers; Accepted a $300k donation from a data center developer; Invests in numerous Food & Ag monopolies that put family owned farms out of business."

This is disgusting. New reporting has uncovered old tweets where Republican Railroad Commissioner candidate Bo French called for President Obama & other Democrats to be publicly executed. Political violence should have no place in our county. Will Texas Republicans denounce this dangerous rhetoric?
A collage with a photo of Bo French on the left, and screenshots of two tweets on the right. in the first tweet, French said: "The penalty for treason used to be death. Even for a former president. #HangEmHigh," in regard to President Obama. In the second tweet, French said: "I want to see public executions for traitors," in regard to Senator Adam Schiff.

The public should not have to wait indefinitely for answers. Austin cannot become another case that is simply “under investigation” while critical questions remain unanswered.
A graphic that reads: "Texas Democratic Party Demands Full, Independent Investigation Into Austin ICE Shooting. Texans deserve the truth about what happened, and they deserve it based on evidence, not simply on an initial account from federal immigration authorities.

There is an important lesson from what has happened in Houston. After an ICE agent fatally shot Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in July, federal authorities said the agent acted in self-defense. Yet weeks later, critical questions remained unanswered and key evidence had not been made public. Texans should not have to take the federal government’s word for what happened when an ICE officer uses a firearm in our communities."A graphic that reads: "Texas Democratic Party Demands Full, Independent Investigation Into Austin ICE Shooting. After fatal shootings involving federal immigration agents in Minneapolis and Houston, too many critical questions have remained unanswered. Austin deserves better. We need an independent investigation, we need the evidence, and we need the truth.”

The Texas Democratic Party is calling on federal authorities and the appropriate state and local investigative agencies to ensure that all available evidence is preserved, that witnesses are interviewed, and that the public receives a complete accounting of the circumstances surrounding the shooting." signed by Terri Burke, Texas Democratic Party Executive Director

Ken Paxton voted to give data centers billions in tax handouts. Shortly before that vote, he was “gifted” 100,000 shares in a data center industry company. Ken Paxton can’t be trusted to do what’s right for Texans because he only cares about doing what’s right for his wallet.
