Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton walking onto stage ++MUSIC FROM SOURCE++ STORYLINE: Texas Sen. John Cornyn and Attorney General Ken Paxton will compete in a May runoff for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate.   Cornyn and Paxton were the top finishers in a three-way contest Tuesday with Rep. Wesley Hunt, who conceded.   No candidate hit the 50% vote threshold needed to win outright, sending the race to a May 26 runoff.   Cornyn’s campaign and allied super PACs spent heavily on television advertising, much of it criticizing Paxton.   Senate Republican leaders are backing Cornyn.   They argue that it will cost more to defend the seat in a general election if Paxton is the nominee. Paxton was acquitted in impeachment proceedings and has faced accusations of marital infidelity. =========================================================== Clients are reminded to adhere to all listed restrictions and to check the terms of their licence agreements.
