Following a Texas judge’s approval of a signed agreement that will unseal the divorce record of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and State Senator Angela Paxton—and the Paxtons’ lawyers’ comments thereafter—Campaign for Accountability Executive Director Michelle Kuppersmith issued the following statement:
On the eve of a hearing before a Texas court considering a motion by Campaign for Accountability (CfA) and numerous media organizations to unseal the divorce record of Texas Attorney General and U.S. Senate candidate Ken Paxton and Texas State Senator Angela Paxton, the Paxton’s abruptly dropped their efforts to keep the record sealed.
Tomorrow, December 19th, 2025, at 9:00am (CST), the 468th District Court in Collin County Texas will hear a motion filed by Campaign for Accountability and a group of Media Intervenors to unseal the divorce record of Texas Attorney General and U.S. Senate candidate Ken Paxton and State Senator Angela Paxton.
Yesterday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a brief arguing that his divorce proceeding—that may reveal relevant information about his conduct and character, and which CfA filed a motion to unseal—should remain hidden from public view. CfA issued a statement in response.
Today, CfA filed a motion in the 468th District Court in Collin County, Texas to unseal the divorce records of Attorney General Ken Paxton and State Senator Angela Paxton, who collectively represent more than 31 million Texans.
Today, CfA filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request seeking communications about the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) unprecedented decision to intervene in a case championed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to attack environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals. The agency's intervention appears motivated by a desire to enforce President Trump’s policy whims, not to exercise legitimate FTC oversight.
Today, Campaign for Accountability requested the IRS and the Texas Attorney General’s office investigate whether key employees and directors of Texas-based nonprofit True the Vote, Inc. improperly diverted funds from the conspiratorial vote-monitoring group.
Today, Campaign for Accountability sent a letter to the IRS requesting an investigation into Texas Public Policy Foundation (TPPF)—a Texas-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit—for engaging in political campaign activity in violation of its tax-exempt status.
Today, Campaign for Accountability called for the Office of Congressional Ethics to investigate whether Rep. Roger Williams (R-TX) abused his position as a House Financial Services Committee member to influence the outcome of an ongoing bankruptcy case in favor of long-time donor Gary Martin.
Today, Campaign for Accountability filed a complaint with the Senate Ethics Committee requesting an investigation into whether Senators Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz knowingly spread 2020 presidential election misinformation motivating the rioters who stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
