Ken Paxton's Lawyer Endorses Opponent Amid Senate Campaign
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who is running for a Senate seat, faces a significant setback as his own lawyer, Dan Cogdell, endorses his Democratic opponent, James Talarico. Cogdell, a Houston-based criminal defense attorney, has represented Paxton through his impeachment trial and a securities fraud case. Despite previously donating to Paxton's campaign, Cogdell has shifted his support, citing a belief that Talarico represents unity over division. This development comes as Paxton's personal life also faces turmoil, with his wife filing for divorce and not endorsing his Senate bid.
