Jon Rosenthal is a Democratic Texas state representative, mechanical engineer, and former oil and gas industry project manager who is running for Texas Railroad Commissioner in 2026. A four-term legislator with 25 years of experience in the energy industry, Rosenthal is campaigning on reliable and affordable energy, lower utility costs, clean air and water, and good-paying jobs. As Railroad Commissioner, he would prioritize stronger oversight of the oil and gas industry, fairer utility rates, responsible energy development, and making the Commission more accountable and responsive to Texans. He also supports policies to ensure Texas’ growing energy demand, including from data centers, does not drive-up costs for consumers.

Recommends Bo French
Former Tarrant County Republican Party Chairman backed by major conservative energy donors Tim Dunn and Farris Wilks. French argues the Railroad Commission needs fresh leadership to take a harder line on regulatory independence and energy-producer rights. He led the primary field narrowly with approximately 33%, separated from Wright by roughly 6,000 votes.

Besides his opponent Bo French being a racist piece of crap, Jon Rosenthal is an engineer (resume says Subsea Systems Engineer in and around the oil & gas industry) and most recently serving in the Texas Legislature when he flipped a House seat blue in 2018. Railroad Commissioner regulates oil & gas in Texas. Makes sense to me we put an engineer to do that job.

Recommends Jon Rosenthal
This Race: Jon Rosenthal is facing Republican nominee Bo French in a high-profile, statistically tight statewide matchup. Unlike traditional Texas regulatory races, Rosenthal has garnered significant attention and some high-profile cross-party backing (including an endorsement from Karl Rove) following public controversies surrounding his opponent.
Core Message: Rosenthal pitches himself as a technical expert rather than a politician, arguing that the Railroad Commission is a complex oversight agency that needs an engineer rather than a culture warrior.
Key Issues & Policy Goals:
Grid Weatherization: Partnering with energy providers to properly winterize natural gas infrastructure to keep electricity running and prevent catastrophic grid failures.
Lowering Utility Bills: Holding companies accountable to ensure fair, affordable gas utility rates for average consumers.
Environmental Oversight: Incentivizing the capture of natural gas to reduce wasteful flaring and increasing surety bonds for oil and gas violators to plug the state's thousands of abandoned, leaking wells.
Transparency: Pushing for a more accessible, "listening commission" to better protect property rights and public safety.
