About this episode

This episode features a discussion between Bo French and Jon Rosenthal about their contrasting campaigns for Texas Railroad Commissioner.

They both have experience in the oil and gas industry… but that’s where the similarities stop. The messaging and the tone of the campaigns couldn’t be more different. And both candidates will tell you that voters face a binary choice in the race for Texas Railroad Commissioner, leading the state’s oldest regulatory agency that oversees the energy industry in Texas, from oil and gas, to coal, to pipelines. In this episode of Y’all-itics, hear from both Republican Bo French and Democrat Jon Rosenthal in their own words.
