A Public Advocate for the
Railroad Commission
Steve’s Pillars for reforming the Texas Railroad Commission
I believe that the Texas Railroad Commission (RRC) can improve on its promise to adequately support industry growth while also protecting the environment, ensuring public safety, and safeguarding land owner and consumer rights. It is important that we continue the abundant growth of our energy industry, as it’s the engine of our state’s economy. Equally important, the Texas RRC must have the resources to quickly respond to everyday Texans’ concerns. I believe that this agency can once again effectively operate as it was intended— to facilitate energy production while also protecting the interests of all Texans. That’s why there needs to be a proven public advocate on the Railroad Commission. Here’s my plan to reform and strengthen the RRC.
