DALLAS — Tony Box, an Army veteran, former FBI agent and former federal prosecutor, announced Thursday that he will seek the Democratic nomination for Texas attorney general.

Box, who lives in Dallas, said his campaign will focus on restoring integrity to an office he described as “plagued by corruption and political theater.” His candidacy follows AG Ken Paxton's announcement of his run for U.S. Senate , leaving the position for Texas' top lawyer open.

“The attorney general is the chief law enforcement officer of the state of Texas, and the people of this state deserve a leader who is looking out for them, not corrupt politicians and their cronies,” Box said in a statement. “Texans deserve better.”

Box’s professional background spans military service, law enforcement, and legal work.
