Texas Railroad Commission 2026: What it does and who’s running in the race

The Texas Railroad Commission, which surprisingly has nothing to do with railroads, plays a crucial role in regulating the state's oil and gas industry. The upcoming 2026 election features candidates Bo French, Jon Rosenthal, and Arthur DiBianca, each bringing different perspectives on how to manage the industry's future. These candidates' views on oil production, environmental regulations, and industry oversight will shape Texas's energy policy, making this race significant for the state's economic and environmental landscape.
