Tyler, Texas – Attorney General Ken Paxton is expanding his statewide Senate campaign tour with a fresh stop in Tyler on Sunday morning. According to the campaign’s official website, Paxton will speak at Republic Icehouse, located at 3807 University Boulevard, beginning at 11 a.m.
Why the change?
Paxton’s original Tyler appearance was slated for Thursday, but the campaign cancelled that event after Vice President J.D. Vance announced appearances in Weatherford and Beaumont on the same day. Smith County Republican Party Chairman David Stein explained that the scheduling conflict prompted the adjustment, allowing Paxton to connect with Tyler voters at a later date.
What to expect
At the Republic Icehouse venue, Paxton is expected to outline his priorities for Texas, emphasizing his record on protecting traditional families, defending individual liberty, and supporting faith‑based values. The campaign has highlighted issues such as border security, economic growth, and school choice in recent stops, and Tyler’s community is likely to hear similar themes.
Local supporters have been invited to attend, and the campaign encourages residents to bring questions about the upcoming Senate race. The event is open to the public, and attendees are asked to follow any venue‑specific health guidelines.
Community response
Tyler’s Republican base has expressed enthusiasm for the added stop, noting the importance of hearing directly from a candidate who champions conservative principles. Some local business owners see the visit as an opportunity to showcase Tyler’s hospitality and economic potential.
Smith County Republican Party Chairman David Stein reiterated the party’s commitment to ensuring that voters across East Texas have ample opportunity to engage with Paxton’s campaign. “We want every Texan to hear the message of limited government, strong families, and faith‑centered leadership,” Stein said.
Logistics
Republic Icehouse is a popular local gathering spot known for its casual atmosphere and community events. Parking is available on‑site, and the venue is easily accessible from major thoroughfares in Tyler. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early to secure seating.
