In this episode of Seeing Red, Garrett Fulce sits down with Aaron Reitz, candidate for Texas Attorney General. Reitz draws on his background as a Marine Corps officer, senior attorney under Ken Paxton, and Trump-era DOJ official to outline why he believes he’s the most qualified contender for Texas’s top legal job.
They dig into:
- His time leading 46 lawsuits against the Biden administration
- His plan to go on legal offense against federal overreach and urban corruption.
- Why he sees the AG’s office as “a combat post, not a stepping-stone.”
- How military discipline and faith shape his leadership style.
It’s an insider’s look at a pivotal race in 2026 Texas politics—one that could define the next decade of conservatism.
