In his bid for Texas Attorney General, Joe Jaworski is banking on his experience as the former mayor of Galveston and as a well-regarded 30-year trial lawyer specializing in mediation. In addition, he has one of the most notable last names in Texas legal lore.
Joe Jaworskis grandfather, Leon Jaworski, was a scion of the Texas Bar, and at one point, one of the most influential and important law firms in Texas bore his name, Fulbright and Jaworski. The elder Jaworski achieved legendary status when he was named a Watergate special prosecutor by President Richard Nixon after the midnight firing of Archibald Cox. Through his work, the Jaworski name became synonymous with decency and integrity. His comment, No one absolutely no one is above the law, has become the rallying cry for the application of fairness and justice to all.
Joe Jaworski has carried on the family legacy as a third-generation trial lawyer. While mayor of Galveston, Jaworski focused on rebuilding the city after the devastation of Hurricane Ike. In an interview with Texas Signal, Jaworski spoke about his bid to oust Ken Paxton, and what he would bring to the attorney generals office.
If Jaworskis grandfather is a shining example of legal integrity, Ken Paxton lands on the opposite end of the spectrum. Paxtons recent trip to Washington included a prominent role as a speaker at a rally for former President Trump just hours before the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. In the aftermath, Paxton claimed that the people who stormed the Capitol werent Trump supporters.

(938 posts)Moneyed interests are still firmly in control here, and GOP voters always GOTV, unlike Democrats, especially on non-presidential years. Surely the day will come, but it will be a few cycles after the mainstream media predicts. My opinion only.
