Democrat Nathan Johnson has defeated Republican Mayes Middleton to become Texas’ next attorney general, marking the first Democratic victory for the office since 1994. Johnson, a Dallas state senator and attorney, campaigned on refocusing the office on consumer protection, government corruption and child support enforcement, rather than politically driven lawsuits. He has also said he’ll challenge the Trump administration when he believes federal actions overstep the state’s authority. The victory marks a major shift for an office that has become a leading force in conservative legal battles nationwide.
