George P. Bush is running as a hard-right social conservative but voters associate his family name with the GOP's moderate wing.
his ethics as a practicing attorney. Paxton has denied any criminal wrongdoing.
In an interview, he told The Texas Tribune that he’s confident that he’s resonating with conservative voters. His family name is synonymous with the center-right, pro-business faction of the GOP that dominated the party for the last four decades. They prioritized increased spending on national security, decreasing the size of government and deregulating business. They tried to work across the political aisle and expand the GOP’s appeal to people of color.
He also courted Trump’s endorsement in the attorney general race, even handing out campaign koozies with a cartoon picture of Trump and a quote from the former president: “This is the only Bush that likes me. This is the Bush that got it right. I like him.”early on, taking away any possible upswing for Bush with Trump supporters.
By contrast, his opponent Paxton is the consummate social conservative. Upon being elected attorney general the same year Bush took over the land office, Paxton quickly made a name for himself by suing the federal government over immigration and going on the attack against gay marriage and abortion providers in the state.
“His actions speak louder than words to me and he didn’t take bold action on the border when he could have, so I wouldn’t expect him to take bold action on the border as attorney general,” said Bentley, whose conservative group fights against mask and vaccine requirements and gender-affirming health care for transgender children.
“It’s kind of ‘what you see is what you get,’” Bush said. “I’m a steady hand. Maybe not the most exciting candidate, but I’m gonna get the job done.” He’s also reminding voters of Bush’s past policy positions that are out of step with the runoff electorate through a website called GeorgePBushFacts.com. There, he decries Bush as a “RINO establishment darling who has sold out Texas.”
