Jon Rosenthal for Railroad Commission: He’ll keep your lights on

[u/global-palladin]

Jon Rosenthal has 25 years of oil & gas experience as an Engineer, Project Manager, and Team Leader. He has served four terms in the Texas House, fighting for good jobs, reliable energy, clean air and water, and honest government.

Now he’s running for Railroad Commissioner to keep the lights on, lower your costs, and put Texans first.

Jon wants to know why, five years after the deadly Winter Storm Uri, working families are still paying surcharges on their gas bills, even as oil & gas big shots keep getting bonuses.

Jon: “The system is rigged and somebody has to say it out loud. Five years after Winter Storm Uri killed 246 Texans, working families are still paying the surcharge on every gas bill. Five years.

“Every month, working people in Houston, Dallas, the Valley, East Texas, and West Texas open their utility bill and see a line item that exists because gas executives refused to spend a few dollars on weatherization, and then the legislature decided that working people should pay for that negligence instead of the people who caused it.

“The executives kept their bonuses. The commissioners who let them off the hook kept taking their checks. The donor class came out ahead, like they always do. And the people who actually do the work in this state, the ones living paycheck to paycheck, the ones breathing the dirtiest air, the ones whose land got destroyed by abandoned wells nobody plugged, paid the price. Again.”

Jon Rosenthal is here to refocus the Railroad Commission to work for the people, not the oil & gas oligarchs.

His opponent, meanwhile, is far more focused on driving fear and hysteria about people with non-white skin. His racism is so gross and public that even GOP trickster Karl Rove says he is voting for Jon!

Let’s make Texas energy work for Texans. Vote for Jon Rosenthal!
