Before he was a state lawmaker, Mitch Little was one of Ken Paxton's defense attorneys at his 2023 impeachment trial, personally grilling the whistleblowers who accused Paxton of abusing his office.
Little grew up to become a Harvard-educated attorney and 20-year partner at a Frisco law firm. After helping win Paxton's acquittal, he used Paxton's backing to unseat a sitting Republican state representative in 2024, then went on to beat Detrick Deburr in the general election. He's running for a second term representing Denton County's District 65.
Little’s take on Texas values
