On The Issues
Fight Alongside President Trump
The Texas Attorney General oversees a team of 600 lawyers making it the single most important state attorney general office in the country to advance the America First Agenda. I will ensure the full weight of the Office of the Attorney General is behind President Trump and his agenda by filing briefs in support of the Administration, working with executive branch agencies to provide state support, intervene in the endless stream of blue state lawfare against President Trump, and ensure Texas is on the frontlines in state legal battles to defend the MAGA movement. This is how we will defend the sovereignty of the United States at our southern border, preserve Texans’ Constitutional rights, eradicate wokeness in all its forms, and ensure every Texan has a chance to succeed.
Clean Up Democrats’ Border Mess
When Joe Biden and Kamala Harris allowed the United States to be invaded by millions of illegal aliens, I fought back. First, I helped the state of Texas successfully sue the Biden Administration numerous times to stem the flood of illegal immigrants and give Texas time to mount its own defense through Operation Lone Star. I also led dozens of lawsuits to defend our border and stop the floods of illegal alien, where we successfully curbed Biden’s efforts to halt deportations, dissolve the Remain-in-Mexico program, end border wall construction, abuse parole and asylum law, and overwhelm the nation with illegal aliens.
Later, as Senator Cruz’s Chief of Staff, I worked tirelessly on the Justice for Jocelyn Act, a bill named after Jocelyn Nungaray, a twelve-year-old girl from Houston who was brutally murdered by an illegal alien who entered the country on Democrats’ watch. The bill codifies tougher detention standards and tracking measures for illegal aliens.
Now, with President Trump back in office, illegal border crossings have plummeted. But there is work to be done. Millions of illegals are still roaming the United States thanks to the Biden Border Crisis.
As Attorney General, I will work with the Trump Administration to support their mass deportation operations, shut down fentanyl trafficking, and crackdown on illegal alien crime. I’ll also utilize all legal mechanisms to ensure taxpayer dollars, at both the federal and state level, are not going to aliens. Never again should veterans have to take a backseat to illegals, or taxpayers be on the hook for migrant hotel rooms while Americans’ housing costs are rising.
The Office of the Attorney General of Texas receives millions of dollars every year in settlement money and I’ll fight to ensure that a portion of that goes to the families of alien crime victims and Texans who have had their property damaged by illegals. I also use the office to investigate any organization in Texas that attempts to illegally harbor or assist illegal immigration.
Defeat Woke Ideology
The radical left worships woke. The rest of us in the real world cannot stand that garbage.
As Texas’s next Attorney General, I’ll make sure we destroy the woke ideology for good. No more drag shows for kids. No more teaching schoolchildren that America is evil and racist. No more confusing children by telling them there are more than two genders or that they can be different than the one God made them to be through abusive medical intervention. No more allowing biological males to dominate females’ athletic competitions. Indoctrination and insanity are over. Common sense is back.
I’ll fight to protect girls’ sports, uphold parents’ rights to know what is happening at their kids’ schools, prevent schools from pushing far-left curriculum, and go after companies peddling division and discrimination under the guise of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Above all, I will stop the sexualization of kids and vigorously enforce Texas laws that ban so-called gender transitions and puberty blockers for minors.
I’ve litigated and investigated woke ideology and rooted it out in Big Tech, Big Government, Wall Street, school districts, and deep-blue cities and counties flouting state law. As Texas Attorney General, I’ll redouble those efforts and root all the radical-left nonsense out of Texas once and for all.
Secure Our Elections
In 2020, Attorney General Paxton and I orchestrated Texas’s strategy to challenge the constitutionality of the stolen election. Too many Republicans around the country were afraid to step up, but I was proud to answer the call because, regardless of how difficult it is, the right thing to do is always the right thing to do.
The same Democrats who lied about Biden’s mental fitness, Covid, Russia collusion, and so many other liberal deception campaigns also want to tell you that there is no voter fraud in the United States. That’s false. Fraud happens every cycle—including in Texas.
I know this because I led the Attorney General’s Election Integrity Teams in both the 2020 and 2022 cycles, where I coordinated plaintiff- and defense-side litigation, investigations, and law enforcement against bad actors in each of the major counties in Texas. As Attorney General, I’ll work to ensure Texas has the most secure elections in America, from our small towns to our big cities. There will be no safe harbor for those who violate one of the most sacred rights we have as citizens of the United States.
Uphold Law and Order
Texas is a state of law and order. Everyday folks here do not believe in coddling criminals. The government’s primary job is to keep citizens safe. That’s exactly what we are going to do. As Attorney General, I’ll throw the book at violent criminals, crack down on gang activity, ramp up anti-human trafficking operations, provide additional resources to unleash law enforcement on child predators, and stand unapologetically with law enforcement. In recent years we have seen an uptick in assaults on police officers. Let me be perfectly clear: if a criminal attacks one of our officers, I’ll work day and night to ensure they receive the toughest punishment possible.
Furthermore, as Attorney General, I will not rest until we hold Soros-backed District Attorneys and soft-on-crime judges accountable for their roles in allowing violent criminals to roam our streets and terrorize our communities. No official in Texas is allowed to pick and choose which law he or she enforces. And no judge has the right to put innocent Texans in harm’s way because they are more loyal to a liberal ideology than they are to the families they are duty-bound to protect.
Additionally, on my watch there will be no completion of EPIC (East Plano Islamic Center) City—a hotbed of so-called Sharia Law—or any projects like it in the future. This community is discriminatory on its face and, in violation of Texas law, could be a breeding ground for sharia law, which has absolutely zero place in the Lone Star State.
Defend Texas From Bad Actors
Every Texan deserves a fair shot to build the life they want. Sadly, the truth of the matter is that’s not always the case for a lot of hardworking people. Too often, politicians, bureaucrats, Big Business, and criminal scammers think they can push the little guy around.
- Investigate waste, fraud and abuse in the state government
- Hold Big Pharma accountable
- Stop large food companies from knowingly selling Texans food with harmful ingredients
- Sue Big Tech to put an end to censorship and to force these massive companies to protect kids online
- Bring legal action against big corporations—from insurance companies to financial institutions to utility companies—that harm consumers.
- Price rigging, privacy violations, antitrust violations and false advertising will not be tolerated.
I have deep experience in all these areas as a President Trump’s Justice Department official, Senator Cruz’s Chief, and Attorney General Paxton’s Deputy. My record speaks for itself, and you can trust I’ll get it done.
Preserve Our Constitutional Rights
When I joined the Marines, I took an oath to defend the United States Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic. The principles enshrined in that document were ones for which I was willing to lay down my life. As the next Attorney General of Texas, my pledge remains the same. I will stand as the tip of the spear to ensure Texas is the freest state in America.
I am a firm believer in states’ rights which is why I managed the effort of the Office of the Attorney General to sue the Biden Administration dozens of times. Not only did we fight for Texas’s sovereignty, but we won time and again. “Aaron…was previously Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s Deputy, where he led dozens of successful lawsuits against the lawless and crooked Biden Administration. Aaron is a true MAGA attorney [and] a warrior for our Constitution,” said President Trump when he nominated me.
I am an unapologetic believer in the sanctity of life and am 100% pro-life. The radical left’s pro-abortion agenda has no place in Texas and I stand ready to prosecute violations of Texas’ laws protecting unborn children. In fact, I’ve already done it: As Deputy Attorney General for Legal Strategy, I coordinated the effort to stop Biden’s federal government and Democrats’ in-state local governments from violating Texas’s pro-life laws and undermining the Supreme Court’s pro-life cases.
And I will never let the radical left take away Texans’ guns. Any attempt to ban certain firearms, limit magazine capacity, get rid of silencers and stabilizing braces, implement red flag laws, and expand the number of gun-free zones will be met with forceful pushback from the state of Texas when I am Attorney General.
And don’t just take my word for it: From the First Amendment’s religion and speech rights, to the Second Amendment’s right to bear arms, to the Tenth Amendment’s states’ rights, and everything in between, I’ve litigated, defended, appealed, written, or otherwise led on all these issues in a way that defends Texans’ liberties. My record speaks for itself.
