DEI Pledge
Since 2021, DEI spending in the Texas Railroad commission has skyrocketed.
Under incumbent Jim Wright’s leadership, the Railroad Commission went from being ranked 41st to 9th among Texas state agencies in DEI spending – – outspending every liberal university in Texas.
In Texas, we should never award contracts based on a person’s skin color or gender. All government contracts should be awarded based on the merit of the work provided.
That’s why I’ve signed the below pledge to end woke DEI standards in the Texas Railroad Commission.
I hope my opponents join me, because Texas energy is far too important to leave in the hands of the woke Left.
