Bryant Clayton

Bryant Clayton, a Democratic candidate for Texas Attorney General, has become a notable figure due to his strong stance against the allocation of broadband grants. He is currently making headlines for his vocal criticism of a deal that awarded approximately $110 million in federal funds to Elon Musk's Starlink, a satellite internet service. Clayton alleges that this distribution of taxpayer money "sure looks like" corruption and has pledged to investigate SpaceX, the parent company of Starlink, if elected to office. This controversy has led to the Texas Broadband Development Office placing a temporary hold on all disbursements of federal broadband funds, pending further review. Clayton's campaign is drawing attention to issues of transparency and potential favoritism in the distribution of significant public funds, positioning him as a challenger focused on accountability in state government.
