Ken Paxton wants Northeast Texans to slam the door on Gary VanDeaver of New Boston in State House, District 1 as he enthusiastically asked citizens to vote for Dale Huls.
On Wednesday evening, a close friend of Ken Paxton, who is also a member of the Texas House, said the Texas Attorney General believes Gary VanDeaver is "problematic and annoying" and a "stooge" of embattled Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan.
The representative who asked to remain anonymous told Texarkana News that the Attorney General would be happy for VanDeaver to "kick rocks" and allow Dale Huls to help him change Austin alongside like-minded conservatives.
Ken Paxton endorses Dale Huls
This comes one day after Ken Paxton delivered a full-throated video endorsement of Huls on Tuesday, February 20, and an X (formerly Twitter) endorsement of Dale Huls on Sunday, February 18.
"Texas, it is time to clean house," Paxton said in the message. "With your help, we will redeem the Texas Courts and The Texas House."
In Paxton's video message, the Attorney General strongly endorsed Huls. He said: "I'm here to support my friend Dale Huls. I know that Dale will be the fighter that you and I both hope for when we vote for somebody to go to Austin."
He added: "I want to encourage you today to vote for Dale Huls for State Representative."
Patriot groups call Huls a "true conservative"
Dale Huls is winning support from hardcore Republican voters and Patriot groups for his hardline conservative stances. The former NASA engineer and Air Force veteran is also seen as highly intelligent, and the Texas state representative who is friendly with the Attorney General said Paxton believes Huls could soon be a "thought leader" in the Texas House of Representatives if chosen by District 1 voters.
He added: "We need people like Dale Huls or [Chris] Spencer and, sadly, less wishy-washy elected officials like Gary."
Candidate Huls has noted his frustration with Gary VanDeaver for his positions on school choice and VanDeaver's belief that Republicans in the Texas House should allow Democrats to have committee chairmanships.
