His 2026 opponent, Democratic state Rep. James Talarico, recently told MS NOW’s Jen Psaki, “Since taking office, Ken Paxton has now become a multimillionaire, while our pay has remained stagnant for years, for decades. He now owns 11 homes, while most Texans can’t afford one.”

...

Public records reviewed by The Times show Mr. Paxton, his blind trust and another family trust now own at least 15 properties worth around $9 million.
