EXCLUSIVE: Chip Roy eyeing bid for Texas attorney general
by Mychael Schnell - 08/08/25 12:33 PM ETRep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) is eyeing a bid for Texas attorney general, two sources familiar with the matter told The Hill, as the GOP lawmaker considers jumping from Washington back to the Lone Star State.
Roy — who has served in the House since 2019 — has spoken about potentially running for the post, one of the sources said, which is open after current Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton decided to run for senate, primarying incumbent Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas).
Reached for comment, Roy told The Hill: “I’m always considering where I can best serve the people I represent to ensure we preserve and protect a free, secure, and prosperous Texas for generations to come.”
