Texas Senator Angela Paxton Says She'll Back Republican Ticket Despite Divorce

Angela Paxton, a Texas state senator, released a video stating she will support the Republican ticket on November 3, arguing that the election hinges on holding every GOP seat to protect Texas's direction. She referenced her divorce from Attorney General Ken Paxton, filed in July 2025 on adultery grounds, but said personal matters should not affect party strategy. The advertisement was paid for by Texas PAC, a super-PAC associated with Senate GOP leadership, and follows a private briefing she gave to conservative women.

Her comments arrive amid reports that Republican groups are spending heavily on Ken Paxton's U.S. Senate campaign, with a super-PAC spending $131 million over 17 days. Federal Election Commission filings show the scale of the financial backing. Angela Paxton framed the vote as a team effort rather than a focus on individual players.
