AUSTIN — A former Dallas City Council candidate backed by Attorney General Ken Paxton is challenging a Republican incumbent in one of the two Texas House seats in Dallas County held by Republicans.
Lawyer Barry Wernick announced his run against longtime GOP Rep. Morgan Meyer, an ally of House Speaker Dade Phelan, who voted to impeach Paxton earlier this year. The Senate acquitted Paxton in September. Since then, the attorney general has gone on a campaign against lawmakers who supported removing him from office.
