Paul Sadler Biography
Paul Lindsey Sadler (born April 29, 1955) is an American attorney from Henderson, Texas, now residing in San Antonio, Texas who served from 1991 to 2003 in the Texas House of Representatives. He was the Democratic nominee for the United States Senate in 2012. In the November 6 general election, he lost against the Republican Ted Cruz, a former state Solicitor General.
In 1977, Sadler graduated from Baylor University in Waco, Texas. In 1979, he graduated from Baylor Law School. He is an active member of the Texas Bar. He has been admitted to practice in many federal courts, such as the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit and the United States Supreme Court.
He was first elected in 1990 to represent Texas’ 9th House District. After redistricting, he ran in the newly redrawn Texas’ 8th House District and won re-election in 1992, 1994, 1996, 1998, and 2000. He was unopposed in all but two years: 1996 (when he won with 61 percent) and 1998 (62 percent).
He was named to the Ten Best List of Texas state legislators by Texas Monthly in 1995, 1997, 1999, and 2001. He was named one of three “Outstanding Legislators” in 1995 and one of “Six Stellar” legislators in 1997 by the Dallas Morning News. He also earned the John B. Connally “Award for Excellence in Education” by the Just For The Kids Foundation.
In 1995, he co-sponsored (with Republican state senator Bill Ratliff) the Ratliff–Sadler Act. This act gave some of the Texas Education Agency’s former powers to locally-controlled agencies.
Sadler returned to practicing law in 2003 and specializes in asbestos litigation, product liability, major personal injury litigation and Prompt Pay representing Hospitals and doctors against insurance companies. He has litigated for a multi-billion dollar company in all fifty states.
Incumbent State Senator Bill Ratliff of Texas’ 1st Senate District decided to resign his seat in the middle of 2003. Ratliff’s resignation created a special election in January 2004, in which Sadler finished first with 39 percent of the vote. In the runoff election, the Republican Kevin Eltife, a former Mayor of Tyler, defeated Sadler, 52-48 percent.
In 2008, he became the executive director for the Wind Coalition, a regional trade group of wind power producers that advocates for increased wind resources in Texas.
On July 31, 2012, Sadler won a runoff election for his party’s Senate nomination 63% to 37%. He defeated Grady Yarbrough, a retired educator from San Antonio.
Incumbent Republican U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison decided to retire effective January 2013. After Democrat Ricardo Sanchez dropped out of contention, Sadler announced his candidacy for the seat, which was held from 1971 to 1993 by the Democrat Lloyd M. Bentsen.
