I come from a long line of strong, Texas conservative family values.

As a lifelong Republican I am running to be your Railroad Commissioner so I can fight hard for Texas’ conservative values!

I am a Texas Oil & Gas Compliance Consultant by trade. I know the regulations, why we have them, and I know how to make minor tweaks if need be to adjust if needed. There are reasons we have the regulations we have, and we must protect our groundwater and keep the oil and gas moving.

You can trust me to lead Texas down the conservative path at the Railroad Commission and help domestic oil and gas in Texas flourish while keeping our operations clean and safe!
  • Eliminate debt at the Railroad Commission.
  • Ensure we do not cost taxpayers $3.4B again in another freeze incident!
  • I have real industry experience in the field and in the office. I know the regulations and I know how to make very small changes if need be. I also understand how to free market can deliver results if unleashed properly.
Eliminating the flared gas tax in Texas, 100% all together at every stage of oil and gas production without a waiting period on an exemption.

Streamline the ERCOT & FERC licensing processor expedite the approval of new power substations connected to flared gas.

Enhancing public record keeping through blockchain to save taxpayers money in emergency situations where time is money, like during a blowout.
Real field experience with Texas oil and gas regulations and well control school.
