Analysis: Does TLR Want a Democrat Attorney General?
by Michael Quinn Sullivan
While they ostensibly work on “tort reform” issues, Texans for Lawsuit Reform is the de facto political arm for some of the state’s biggest business interests. And while they are perceived as “Republican,” the organization regularly supports Democrats and is often seen as quietly working against – or, at least, to minimize – social conservatives.
Now, with just weeks left in the 2022 election season, many are worried TLR is quietly working to help a Democrat become the state’s next attorney general. In fact, lawmakers and staff say TLR’s team of fundraisers and lobbyists have explicitly told them the organization will not support or help Paxton.
