When Texas voters mobilize against hateful rhetoric, Bo French's immediate response is to threaten American citizens with ICE and mass deportation. This isn’t a quote taken out of context; it is a look at the unhinged extremism we are up against this November.

This is what my opponent thinks counts as "leadership" in Texas. The RRC requires data-driven management to fix our power grid and protect our water. Instead, Bo French uses his platform to fuel bigotry. Texas deserves an experienced engineer, not an internet troll who puts hate above the public.

The politics of division is exhausting. Texans are ready for leaders who listen and focus on delivering real results for our communities. Shoutout to Bobby Pulido for the real talk. Let’s move past the noise and get to work.

The politics of division is exhausting, Texans deserve real community benefits, not endless political theater. I sat down to talk with Bobby Pulido about our plan for real solutions, we're done with false promises and are ready to deliver real solutions.

Even Greg Abbott admits it, Bo French doesn’t know the first thing about oil and gas. The runoff is over, and November is locked in, an experienced mechanical engineer vs. a candidate whose own party warns would wreck Texas energy. We need competence, not chaos.

Let's get to work.

Statement on the Republican Primary Runoff Results for Texas Railroad Commissioner

While others fight internal party wars, we're focused on the real work. Texas needs a mechanical engineer on the Railroad Commission to fix infrastructure, protect water, and stop the corporate shortcuts hitting your wallet. We're 31,676 votes away. Let’s get to work.

What’s happening in Brownsville is a warning for every Texan. Billionaires like Elon Musk see our land as a disposable launchpad for their ambitions, polluting coastal waters and scorching protected habitats. While they’re focused on another planet, they’re leaving ours behind.

It’s engineering reality: to keep AI processors from melting, data centers "drink" millions of gallons of Texas water daily. As a mechanical engineer, I see a system out of balance. While families face shortages, the RRC lets AI billionaires drain our aquifers without a plan.

I’m a mechanical engineer and field technician, not a career politician. My goal isn't to dismantle Texas energy, it’s to make it work for you. We need a Railroad Commission that prioritizes technical competence, a stable grid, and lower costs over political favors.

Texas is the energy capital of the world, but we still saw the grid fail during the freeze. Why? Because the Railroad Commission failed to ensure our fuel supply was winterized. We need technical leadership on the RRC to keep Texas families safe and the lights on.

Texas has grown by 5 million people and our grid is feeling the heat. To power our future and keep costs down, we need energy strategy, not political theater. I’m a mechanical engineer running to bring technical competence back to the RRC. We are 31,676 votes away. Let’s get it.

$4.00 a gallon isn’t just bad luck, it’s bad oversight. Texas is the energy capital of the world, so why is it getting harder to afford a tank of gas? As an engineer, I see a breakdown in the system. The RRC should be a watchdog for our resources, not a lapdog for donors.

Big money is trying to buy this race, backing a far-right candidate, Bo French. This isn’t just about politics. It’s about who gets to influence the rules that affect everyday Texans.

Bo French’s call to deport 100 million people at CPAC is a performance of hate. It's infuriating to see AG Ken Paxton shake hands with someone peddling such divisive rhetoric, an insult to millions of Texans. Texas deserves a RRC focused on lowering energy bills and securing infrastructure for all.

It’s not just the gas pump anymore, now it’s your suitcase! Airlines are hiking fees by $10 to cover rising fuel costs. Texas produces the fuel, so why is the Railroad Commission doing nothing? We shouldn’t be this vulnerable to price shocks. I’m here to stop the waste and prioritize your wallet.

Texas is building the future of AI, but the Railroad Commission is ignoring our crumbling foundation. We have over 11,000 orphaned wells polluting our land and water while politicians chase photo ops. As an engineer, I’m ready to stop the leaks and start the real work. 31,676 votes to win.

One week it’s a physical wall, the next it’s "virtual." This isn't infrastructure planning, it’s political chaos. Texas deserves an RRC that won't stay silent while Big Bend is used as a prop. We need technical accountability to protect our groundwater and stop the waste. 31,676 votes to win.

Texas gas prices are up 36% since last year. We produce the energy, yet we’re the most vulnerable to global shocks. The RRC acts as a rubber stamp for the status quo instead of a watchdog for our stability. It’s time for an engineer who prioritizes our state over global chaos.

Corpus Christi is in a water emergency. Meanwhile, the RRC ignores thousands of wells leaking toxins into our groundwater. Our systems are connected, we can’t treat water as an afterthought. It's time for technical accountability. Let's put a field technician on the RRC.

Technical competence vs. political chaos. I spent my career as an engineer solving complex problems with facts. My potential opponent's racist rant at CPAC isn’t a plan for Texas energy, it’s a performance of hate. Texas needs a watchdog, not more theater. Let's get to work.

Proud to be endorsed by the Sierra Club! As an engineer, I know a reliable grid and a clean environment are the same goal. When the RRC allows $1.7B in gas to be flared, they’re wasting our resources. We need a watchdog who understands the data, not another political concierge in Austin.

Great energy in Fort Worth at the rally with @jamestalarico.bsky.social! You can’t build a stable structure on a shaky foundation. I’m bringing technical accountability to the RRC. We are less than 1% away from putting an engineer in charge of Texas energy. Let’s get to work.

This post from Jan aged like milk. While the Governor promised $1.77 gas, the Texas average is now $3.60 and climbing. We can't fix our energy system with theater and broken promises. We need technical accountability at the RRC to stop the waste and protect your wallet. It's time for an engineer.

Busy weekend at county conventions! As an engineer, I don't just look at blueprints, I show up to the job site. Texans are ready to move past the chaos in Austin. The message is clear: we need technical competence at the RRC. We're within 1% of this seat. The math is on our side. Let’s build.

The Most Important Office You’ve Never Heard Of: The Texas Railroad Commission.

Gas prices are even HIGHER than when they were when I filmed this earlier. I'm the only candidate for the REC who's in this for YOU - and not for the war. Join us at jonrosenthaltx.com

31,676. That’s how many votes stood between me and beating the entire GOP field combined. In a state of 30M, we are within a 1% margin of taking back the Railroad Commission. The math is clear: Texans are done with business as usual and ready for an engineer who puts families before donors.

The Republican candidates support the war and the higher prices that are coming with it. I'm in this for YOU and YOUR WALLET.

Texas energy is a complex system failing under career politicians who act as concierges, not watchdogs. The data: I was only 31,676 votes from beating the entire GOP field, less than 1%. We don't need luck; we need technical competence. Let's put Texas families first.

$3.19 for gas in Fort Worth is too high, yet it’s still below the $3.40 TX average. As an engineer, I see a systems failure. While global instability drives prices up, our leaders choose political theater over fixing things at home. We need technical accountability, not more games.

We are literally burning money. Let me explain:

No matter who you choose in the Primary, we need to ALL come together for the common good in the General Election! We only get positive change by winning elections, and we win by working TOGETHER! 💙

Winter Storm Uri was 5 years ago and our power grid is STILL vulnerable.

@JamesTalarico and I are both running to take our government back from the billionaires. For too long, working class Texans have been taken advantage of by politicians who sell us out so they can enrich themselves and their friends. We're both fighters who will take on corporate interests and win.

Energy bills for people in Dallas have already doubled, yet Atmos wants to squeeze even more money out of working class people. When you have big energy asking this of a city council right before a winter storm, you no longer have a working relationship, you have a shakedown.

Before I was a Democrat, I was oilfield trash. Trump just spent our tax dollars destabilizing Venezuela, making Texas’s economy weaker in the process. As Railroad Commissioner, I will always fight for Texans first.

Our North Texas Tour was incredibly successful and moving. Not only are Texans are feeling the high cost of their energy bills, they're ready to fight against it. Join us in the fight for better energy jobs and more affordable electric bills.

North Texas, I’m headed your way to talk about how we can lower our energy bills and lead the nation in energy innovation. Meet me at one of our stops this weekend! RSVP: linktr.ee/jonrosenthaltx

Meet Jon Rosenthal. He's running for an important position on the Texas Railroad commission. If you want to be included in my Starter Pack for #Blue and #Progressive candidates, you can reply here or elsewhere on my posts. go.bsky.app/8aX8hFm

After Winter Storm Uri, we knew what needed to be done, but the oil and gas industry stood in the way. I’m Jon Rosenthal and I’m the candidate running for Railroad Commissioner to lower energy prices and keep Texans safe.

Reminder: Join us in North Texas this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday! RSVP: linktr.ee/jonrosenthaltx

Honored to be the Democratic nominee for Texas Railroad Commissioner. Let's get to work to make our energy bills more affordable and our power grid more reliable!

Join us next weekend at our North Texas Tour!

President Trump is wrong, affordability isn’t a scam, Texans deserve affordable prices. As Railroad Commissioner, I will fight for lower energy bills.
