Not on this list is any pastor from Ken Paxton’s church of many years, Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, Texas. In fact, the church’s senior pastor Jack Graham joined the Faith Advisory Council of US Sen. John Cornyn— Paxton’s GOP opponent. Sources tell Daily Mail Paxton hasn’t attended Prestonwood in a long time due to news of his affair, which Daily Mail broke over a year ago, with mistress Tracy Duhon. Paxton is still legally married to TX Sen. Angela Paxton who filed for divorce on “biblical grounds” in July 2025.

Texas pastors are the heart of our communities. They lead families and stand firm for the faith and values that built this country.

I am honored to have them standing by my side as we work to ensure America remains one nation under God.

Here’s the full letter on the Highland Park Methodist Church vote, which was sent out to members on Thursday:

[MaryAnn Martinez @MaryAnnreports]

JUST IN: Highland Park United Methodist Church— the wealthiest and most prominent Methodist church in Dallas— will vote on whether to leave the United Methodist Church. In a letter to members, the church council recommended members vote “yes” on the following question:
“Shall Highland Park Methodist Church, doing business as Highland Park United Methodist Church, sever all of its ties, affiliations, and connections to The United Methodist Church?”

Mystery over Texas Democrat James Talarico's nearly two-week campaign hiatus as his opponents demand 'proof of life' and he cancels events https://t.co/EfESw5cP1f

[MaryAnn Martinez @MaryAnnreports]

I reached out to Talarico's spokesman who has publicly stated that James will return to the campaign trail "this weekend." I asked for specifics on where and when he will return to campaigning. He told me, "will have something for you today."

[MaryAnn Martinez @MaryAnnreports]

Ken Paxton is claiming James Talarico had a mental breakdown, and yet Paxton still won't debate Talarico?

Scoop: In 2014, Ken Paxton sat for a deposition where federal lawyers quizzed him about his growing wealth and investment tactics.

The depo has never been made public. We got a copy. https://t.co/gOfMkjQ5OK @nytimes
