Texas Railroad Commission Race: French vs Wright
Description
In a tight Republican primary runoff, Texas Railroad Commission candidate Bo French, known for his hardline stance on social issues and push to ease environmental rules, trails incumbent Jim Wright by under ten thousand votes. With Governor Greg Abbott backing Wright and Attorney General Ken Paxton supporting French, experts warn that Frenchs controversial views could alienate voters and potentially flip seats to Democrats in the general election. The May runoff winner will face Democrat state Representative Jon Rosenthal from Houston in the fall, shaping Texas energy policy.
