The campaign for attorney general candidate Ken Paxton released a new ad on Wednesday going after his primary opponent, Dan Branch, for being a "registered union lobbyist" and a "liberal Republican."

The ad makes its case against Branch, a state representative from Dallas, by highlighting some of his votes as a House member.

Paxton, a state senator from McKinney, finished ahead of Branch in the March primary. They will face each other in the May 27 runoff. Early voting starts Monday.
