    Texas oil and gas keeps breaking records, and emissions are still trending down. That’s proof that responsible growth and common-sense oversight work. The men and women in this industry show every day that you can power the future and protect our land at the same time.

    As a fifth-generation Texas rancher, I know how important it is to protect private property. At the Railroad Commission, I’ve made it a priority to ensure landowners are respected. Texans deserve to be treated fairly, and I work to make sure they are.

    Upstream oil and gas employment in Texas remains strong, with hundreds of thousands of Texans working to fuel the world. It’s a pillar of our economy.

    Texas is the energy capital of the world because of the hard work of our people. My job is to fight for you and make sure it stays that way. That’s why I’m running for re-election, to keep Texas first in energy, jobs, and prosperity.

    I’m proud to announce my campaign as I seek to continue leading the Railroad Commission of Texas. I’ve officially filed for re-election, and I’m honored to ask for the people’s trust once again so we can keep Texas the world-class energy leader it has become.

    As Chairman of the Railroad Commission, I’ve pushed for responsible water reuse in oil and gas. It’s a challenge, but we’re turning it into an opportunity, with smarter infrastructure and new tech.

    Texas is strongest when we lead with energy, jobs, and conservative values. That’s why I’m running for re-election as Chairman of the Railroad Commission, so we can keep Texas on top, protect our future, and put Texans first every step of the way.

    Honored to join @JohnCornyn & @tedcruz today! I'm proud to stand with them in the fight to protect our Texas jobs, Texas energy, and Texas values. Election Day is TOMORROW and we need YOU to VOTE and show Democrats that Texas is not for sale. #KeepTexasRed #TXSEN #TXEnergy

    From ranching to rodeo to regulating energy, I’ve spent my life working for Texas. Now, as Chairman, I’m running for re-election so we can keep building on that legacy together and keep this state moving forward.

    Late yesterday, I learned of the sudden passing of my friend Embry Canterbury. I considered it a huge honor to get to know Embry, not just as a smart oilman who led Hibernia Resources, but also as a man with great honor that not enough people have had the pleasure of knowing. 1/4

    Proud to stand with my fellow Texans & send the message to the radical liberals from NYX and CA - TX is not for sale! TX will determine its own energy future, and that is a future that includes an all of the above approach led by fossil fuels. houstonchronicle.com/news/article/R…

    I'm a strong pro-business Texan and conservative through & through. My campaign and the Railroad Commission are very important to the economic future of Texas but I'm also a political outsider and I need your help! If you haven't already, would you please Follow and Retweet me?
