Gohmert announces intent to run for attorney general
Congressman Louie Gohmert, R-Texas has informally announced that he will be seeking the Texas Attorney General’s post currently held by Ken Paxton. Gohmert currently is the Representative for the First Congressional District of Texas. It appears at this point that he will be vacating his post to pursue the Texas Attorney Generals Post. Paxton who currently holds the post has been plagued by trouble for some time and the concern is that if Paxton wins the Republican nomination again for the post the seat could become vulnerable to several democrats that are running.
