Rep. Chip Roy announced a bid for Texas attorney general on Thursday, seeking to replace Ken Paxton in an already crowded Republican primary field.
Roy, a Freedom Caucus member, has an antagonistic history with most of his party’s leaders, including House Speaker Mike Johnson and President Donald Trump.
He announced the launch of his campaign with a video warning that “the Texas of our dreams is under assault” by “radical Democrats,” “open border politicians,” and “faceless corporations and the Chinese Communist Party.”
