Ad copy

Ken Paxton calls himself a conservative fighter. EPIC City raised serious concerns. Other agencies acted. Went to court. Paxton had the power. Did nothing. No investigation. No enforcement. No results. That’s not leadership. Visit CrookedKen.com

Standout elementBlack-and-white desaturated close-up of Ken Paxton smirking — visually sinister framing of the opponent
TacticThe ad uses a trifecta of anaphora ('No investigation. No enforcement. No results.') paired with a darkened, unflattering freeze-frame of Paxton to build a case of corrupt inaction, directing voters to the branded attack URL CrookedKen.com for amplified negative association.
