NexStar-Senator Nathan Johnson, Dallas, was accused by prosecutor Ken Buckston of complicity with the federal government to eliminate the state program that has long been helping Texas in the college at study rates within the country.
Johnson, the extension of Dallas, who announced his candidacy for the public prosecutor, described Paxon’s decision not to defend the Law of Texas’s dream of “an explicit acuity of collusion” and “sabotage of democracy.”
Johnson said: “Ken Buckston went there, and colluded with the federal government, it is clear that Donald Trump is to get rid of a program signed by a Republican ruler and the Republic Legislative Authority passed 24 years ago,” Johnson said.
The dream law allows some non -documented immigrants who lived in Texas for at least three years and graduated from a secondary school in Texas to pay tuition fees within the state in colleges and public universities. A federal judge canceled the program in January after the Prosecutor’s Office refused to defend him in court.
In a statement after the decision, the Public Prosecutor’s Office was sent press release Pactson credits to strike the law. In the release, Buckston said that the law “gave unconstitutional and illegal benefits to illegal foreigners who were not available to American citizens.”
“The end of this discriminatory and non -American ruling is a great victory for Texas,” Buckston added in the statement.
Johnson has argued that the program benefits from Texas economically and was constantly supported by Republican -controlled legislative bodies.
“These are the children who were often their entire lives. They got good degrees, and they are eligible to go to the college. They want to become educated participants in our society, and we have already paid to educate them.”
Democratic candidate criticized the decision of the Governor Greg Abbott to contact the current private session, especially the inclusion of the re -division of circles on the agenda.
Johnson said: “What is completely illegitimate is to re -divide the circles. I find it offensive. “It is in fact just a way to isolate themselves from the anger of the voters because they did a bad job.”
Johnson admitted the challenges facing Democrats in racing at the state level, but he indicated his victory in the 2018 Senate as evidence that change is still possible.
“When I was nominated to be a member of the Senate in 2018, no one won that no democratic has won this seat for more than 30 years, and people believed that it was one of the nuts at all. Well, we won it with eight points,” he said.
Senator explained his priorities to the Prosecutor’s Office, focusing on traditional functions on prominent litigation.
“I will deal with the things that people should count whether the public prosecutor should do,” said Johnson, citing the collection of the child’s support, protecting consumers from fraud, abuse of market and political corruption.
Johnson was the only opposition vote on a scale to reduce property tax for the population 65 or larger, describing him to redistribute wealth from working families to retirees.
He said: “You are literally redistributing money. You take money from low income, and working families who are struggling to pay, and grant them, in many cases, two -thirds of cases, for retirees who have expensive homes.”
The preliminary elections for the Democracy of the Public Prosecutor will be held on March 3, 2026. Johnson will face former Galviston mayor Joe Jorski, who announced his candidacy earlier this month. Anyone who won the preliminary elections will face a difficult battle in the general elections against one of the three Republicans who seek to obtain nomination: SNS.
