Tracy Duhon Shapes Ken Paxton's Senate Run as He Trails in Most Texas Polls

Summary
Tracy Duhon has become a central figure in Ken Paxton’s personal life just as his Texas Senate campaign enters its final stretch, though aides keep her largely off the trail and out of campaign messaging.
Paxton’s team is managing that distance as he struggles with independents and some Republicans, while his wife Angela Paxton has filed for divorce on what she called biblical grounds.
Duhon, an aspiring Christian influencer from Louisiana, has drawn Paxton deeper into a world of online faith-based self-help and public redemption narratives that contrasts with her low profile in Texas.
This month, Duhon appeared publicly at a New Orleans gala hosted by a Christian nonprofit she founded with her ex-husband, underscoring that she remains visible in Louisiana even as Paxton’s campaign minimizes her role.
