Meet the man gunning for Paxton’s Texas AG seat to squash Soros DAs

June 16, 2025Aaron Reitz tells "Blaze News | The Mandate" why he chose to step up and fight for Texas.Now that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is taking on incumbent Republican Senator John Cornyn (R) in the 2026 U.S. Senate primary, the attorney general’s office might have some big shoes to fill next year.
Given Cornyn’s low approval ratings, there’s a good chance Texas will need a new “top cop,” says BlazeTV host Jill Savage.
Thankfully, there is “someone that has experience fighting alongside Donald Trump at the Justice Department ... someone that Trump has called a true MAGA attorney and warrior for the Constitution” who has risen to the challenge. His name is Aaron Reitz, and he’s Paxton’s former senior Department of Justice official and deputy.
On a recent episode of “Blaze News | The Mandate,” Reitz joined Jill and Blaze News editor in chief Matthew Peterson to share what motivated him to take on this challenge and how he plans to ensure Texas stays tough on crime while holding rogue, Soros-backed DAs accountable.
“I know that if the president doesn't get a true MAGA attorney or a warrior for the Constitution in that Texas AG spot ... all kinds of dominoes are going to fall, and it's going to be very bad, not only for Texas but really for the nation,” says Reitz. “I can’t accept that scenario.”
