LSL21-Lone Star Lawman - Inside Texas AG's Battles for Justice - Lone Star Ladies

In this in-depth episode of Lone Star Ladies, hosts Sheree Rose (Precinct 2091 – Plano), Darlene Howell (Precinct 2098 – Carrollton), and Brandie Kennedy (Precinct 2097 – Carrollton) break down one of the most powerful offices in Texas government: the Texas Attorney General.


The show opens with important local election updates, including a special Plano City Council Place 7 race, where conservative candidate Colleen Aguilar Epstein faces Sean Thomas. The Ladies explain the unusual early voting schedule for this special election, stressing the importance of checking polling locations and dates before heading to the polls. They also preview key dates for the 2026 Republican Primary, including voter registration deadlines, early voting, and Election Day.


The heart of the episode is a comprehensive, plain-language explanation of the role, responsibilities, and authority of the Texas Attorney General. Listeners learn why the AG is often described as running the largest law firm in the country, overseeing roughly 4,000 employees across numerous divisions. The Ladies walk through the AG’s core functions, including:


Defending Texas laws and the state constitution
Enforcing consumer protection and antitrust laws
Child support enforcement
Election integrity investigations
Public bond approval and taxpayer protection
Oversight of human trafficking prevention and crime victim compensation
Advising state agencies and issuing formal legal opinions
Using real-world examples, the Ladies highlight Attorney General Ken Paxton’s record, including lawsuits involving election integrity, redistricting, religious liberty, consumer protection, human trafficking enforcement, and challenges to federal overreach. They discuss why Paxton has earned strong grassroots support among conservatives and why his departure leaves big shoes to fill.


The episode then turns to the 2026 Republican Primary for Texas Attorney General, an open race as Paxton seeks a U.S. Senate seat. The Ladies provide an overview of the declared candidates, including:


State Senator Joan Huffman
State Senator Mays Middleton
Former DOJ official and Marine veteran Aaron Reitz (endorsed by Ken Paxton)
U.S. Representative Chip Roy
They examine each candidate’s background, legal experience, policy positions, and contrasts between legislative careers versus prosecutorial and litigation experience—giving voters critical context to evaluate who is best suited for this influential office.
The episode closes with a reminder that informed voters are powerful voters, encouraging listeners to rewatch, research the candidates, and engage in grassroots efforts as Texas heads into a pivotal election cycle.
