[QUOTE="WPLG, post: 31070, member: 158"] AUSTIN, Texas — Tuesday’s primary runoff election in Texas will test how much weight the Bush family name still carries in America’s biggest red state in the race for attorney general. But George P. Bush, who’s challenging embattled Attorney General Ken Paxton for the Republican nomination, says Tuesday’s vote isn’t about family dynasty. Speaking in Austin after casting his ballot, Bush says the election is “about doing the right thing and supporting the right people for the right offices.” Paxton is the subject of an ongoing FBI investigation over accusations of corruption, and he’s still awaiting trial on securities fraud charges after being indicted in 2015. Bush, who now serves as Texas’ land commissioner, called Paxton “a crook ... who continually abuses his office.” Bush forced a runoff against Paxton during a crowded four-way primary election in March. But he still trailed Paxton by 20 points in the March election, underscoring Paxton’s continued political durability in Texas. ___ Georgia, Arkansas, Alabama, Texas and Minnesota are holding primary elections Tuesday.
