Who Guards TX Energy? Rep. Jon Rosenthal (D) for Railroad Commission | 2026 Candidate Conversations

Who's guarding Texas' energy? Host Jeff Crilley sits down with State Rep. Jon Rosenthal, the Democratic candidate for Texas Railroad Commission, for a live, unedited conversation. Despite the name, the Railroad Commission doesn't regulate railroads. It oversees Texas' oil and gas industry: drilling permits, pipelines, natural gas utilities and the environmental rules that come with them. Its decisions affect the grid, your utility bills and the land and water across the state. The Republican candidate, Bo French, was invited and has an open invitation to join us. 🗳️ WHEN TO VOTE Early voting: Mon, Oct 19 – Fri, Oct 30, at any early voting location in your county Election Day: Tue, Nov 3, polls open 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. 📺 MORE CANDIDATE CONVERSATIONS • Clayton Tucker (D), candidate for Texas Agriculture Commissioner:    • Who Is Feeding Texas? Clayton Tucker (D) f...   • Sen.
