A new parody website from Senator John Cornyn’s campaign is turning Texas politics into a dating game.
The site, FindPaxtonsMatch.com, mimics a Tinder-style dating app called “Sinr.” When users visit the page, they’re prompted to enter their name, email, and phone number before the familiar swipe interface appears.

Much like Tinder, users can swipe left to pass or swipe right to “match.” The twist? Instead of dating prospects, the game centers on helping Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, appearing as “Dave P.,” find his “next mistress.”
Players can “match” with two women, while the rest of the images resemble AI-generated portraits. Some users are shown a message reading, “You’ve been blocked,” followed by a reference to Paxton’s wife, State Sen. Angela Paxton.
In a press release, the Cornyn campaign described the website as “an interactive way to help embattled Attorney General Ken Paxton find his next mistress,” taking aim at Paxton’s history of scandals and personal controversies.
That line ties into real-life events: after standing by her husband through years of political and legal controversies, Angela Paxton filed for divorce earlier this month, citing adultery and “recent discoveries.” The filing came after revelations during Ken Paxton’s 2023 impeachment proceedings about an alleged affair with political aide Laura Olson.
“Dating apps are all the rage, so we figured we would help serial cheater Ken Paxton find his next mistress,” Cornyn campaign senior advisor Matt Mackowiak said. He added that Sen. Cornyn “won’t let Ken Paxton risk this U.S. Senate seat and the Senate majority on which the Trump agenda relies.”
The launch comes as Paxton challenges Cornyn for his U.S. Senate seat in what is shaping up to be a heated 2026 Republican primary.
