Good on @TXOGA & its members for rescinding the endorsement of white supremacist Bo French. The endorsement was not in keeping with the world class companies you represent. #TXRRC #TexasEnergy @exxonmobil

VOTE FOR BO FRENCH FOR THE RAILROAD COMMISSION! Rosenthal keeps telling people his engineering background qualifies him for the Railroad Commission. It doesn’t. He was a mechanical engineer who worked on equipment and subsea gear for service companies. Not a petroleum engineer. The public record shows project and equipment jobs that ended around 2017. No PE license. No petroleum engineering title. Nothing that puts him in the Permian or any other big onshore field running production or reservoir work. And nothing that shows he ever dealt with the Railroad Commission from the industry side. No permits, no hearings, none of it. Building rig equipment is a different job from regulating the people who drill and produce wells. The only RRC exposure on his record is the House Energy Resources Committee starting in 2019. That’s not the same thing. Look at what he’s actually proposing. It's an anti-fossil fuel Sierra Club wish list. They endorsed him and gave him a perfect mark on their 2023 House scorecard, and they credited him for filing a bill to phase out routine flaring. End routine flaring, continuous monitors, tighter setbacks, higher bonds. That’s their list. The Permian still doesn’t have enough pipe. Those rules don’t lay any. They shut wells in and leave the oil in the ground. Landowners, counties, and the state lose the money that comes with it. He's a puppet of the "green energy" blob and doesn't have the expertise to understand the consequences of their policies. IN CONTRAST Bo French actually comes out of the Permian. He was raised in Midland. His family has been in the oil business there for more than 80 years and still runs the Midland-based French Oil Company. His father was an All-American Wildcatter. His grandfather helped start the Permian Basin Oil Show back in 1940 and served as its first president. That is not a Houston equipment resume. He grew up around the basin that produces the oil the Railroad Commission actually regulates. He spent about a decade as an energy trader starting in the mid-1990s, so he has seen how Permian barrels and the gas that comes with them clear the market. He's also a rancher and mineral owner. Operators have worked his land. He's been on the royalty side of the lease, which is where bad rules show up first as shut-in wells and smaller checks. The Railroad Commission’s job is Texas oil and gas, and most of that is Permian. French’s background is the family company, the trading desk, and the mineral interest. That is closer to the work than designing subsea gear for a service company and then taking policy cues from the Sierra Club. With his family operating company, he understands EXACTLY what it is to be regulated by the RRC and, as a rancher and mineral owner, understands how RRC regulation protects him. He has experience on both sides of the ledger, which uniquely qualifies him for the role.
