Texas AG Candidate Vows to Investigate SpaceX’s BEAD Awards
Nathan Johnson says the state’s subgrant selection process ‘sure looks like’ corruption.
WASHINGTON, July 10, 2026 – Texas’ Democratic candidate for attorney general says, if elected, he would investigate whether SpaceX got preferential treatment in receiving $109 million in state broadband grants.
The remarks by Nathan Johnson, a state senator, come after the state revised its broadband grant process following the Trump administration’s restructuring of a $42.45 billion federal broadband expansion initiative.
