$4.00 a gallon isn’t just bad luck, it’s bad oversight.
Texas is the energy capital of the world, so why is it getting harder to afford a tank of gas? As an engineer, I see a breakdown in the system. The RRC should be a watchdog for our resources, not a lapdog for donors.
Big money is trying to buy this race, backing a far-right candidate, Bo French.
This isn’t just about politics. It’s about who gets to influence the rules that affect everyday Texans.
Bo French’s call to deport 100 million people at CPAC is a performance of hate. It's infuriating to see AG Ken Paxton shake hands with someone peddling such divisive rhetoric, an insult to millions of Texans. Texas deserves a RRC focused on lowering energy bills and securing infrastructure for all.
It’s not just the gas pump anymore, now it’s your suitcase! Airlines are hiking fees by $10 to cover rising fuel costs. Texas produces the fuel, so why is the Railroad Commission doing nothing? We shouldn’t be this vulnerable to price shocks. I’m here to stop the waste and prioritize your wallet.
Texas is building the future of AI, but the Railroad Commission is ignoring our crumbling foundation. We have over 11,000 orphaned wells polluting our land and water while politicians chase photo ops. As an engineer, I’m ready to stop the leaks and start the real work. 31,676 votes to win.
One week it’s a physical wall, the next it’s "virtual." This isn't infrastructure planning, it’s political chaos.
Texas deserves an RRC that won't stay silent while Big Bend is used as a prop. We need technical accountability to protect our groundwater and stop the waste. 31,676 votes to win.
Texas gas prices are up 36% since last year. We produce the energy, yet we’re the most vulnerable to global shocks.
The RRC acts as a rubber stamp for the status quo instead of a watchdog for our stability. It’s time for an engineer who prioritizes our state over global chaos.
Corpus Christi is in a water emergency. Meanwhile, the RRC ignores thousands of wells leaking toxins into our groundwater.
Our systems are connected, we can’t treat water as an afterthought. It's time for technical accountability. Let's put a field technician on the RRC.
Technical competence vs. political chaos.
I spent my career as an engineer solving complex problems with facts. My potential opponent's racist rant at CPAC isn’t a plan for Texas energy, it’s a performance of hate.
Texas needs a watchdog, not more theater. Let's get to work.
Proud to be endorsed by the Sierra Club! As an engineer, I know a reliable grid and a clean environment are the same goal. When the RRC allows $1.7B in gas to be flared, they’re wasting our resources. We need a watchdog who understands the data, not another political concierge in Austin.
Great energy in Fort Worth at the rally with @jamestalarico.bsky.social! You can’t build a stable structure on a shaky foundation. I’m bringing technical accountability to the RRC. We are less than 1% away from putting an engineer in charge of Texas energy. Let’s get to work.
This post from Jan aged like milk. While the Governor promised $1.77 gas, the Texas average is now $3.60 and climbing. We can't fix our energy system with theater and broken promises. We need technical accountability at the RRC to stop the waste and protect your wallet. It's time for an engineer.
Busy weekend at county conventions! As an engineer, I don't just look at blueprints, I show up to the job site. Texans are ready to move past the chaos in Austin. The message is clear: we need technical competence at the RRC. We're within 1% of this seat. The math is on our side. Let’s build.
The Most Important Office You’ve Never Heard Of: The Texas Railroad Commission.
Gas prices are even HIGHER than when they were when I filmed this earlier. I'm the only candidate for the REC who's in this for YOU - and not for the war. Join us at jonrosenthaltx.com
31,676. That’s how many votes stood between me and beating the entire GOP field combined. In a state of 30M, we are within a 1% margin of taking back the Railroad Commission. The math is clear: Texans are done with business as usual and ready for an engineer who puts families before donors.
The Republican candidates support the war and the higher prices that are coming with it. I'm in this for YOU and YOUR WALLET.
Texas energy is a complex system failing under career politicians who act as concierges, not watchdogs.
The data: I was only 31,676 votes from beating the entire GOP field, less than 1%.
We don't need luck; we need technical competence. Let's put Texas families first.
$3.19 for gas in Fort Worth is too high, yet it’s still below the $3.40 TX average. As an engineer, I see a systems failure. While global instability drives prices up, our leaders choose political theater over fixing things at home. We need technical accountability, not more games.
We are literally burning money. Let me explain:
No matter who you choose in the Primary, we need to ALL come together for the common good in the General Election! We only get positive change by winning elections, and we win by working TOGETHER! 💙
Winter Storm Uri was 5 years ago and our power grid is STILL vulnerable.
@JamesTalarico and I are both running to take our government back from the billionaires.
For too long, working class Texans have been taken advantage of by politicians who sell us out so they can enrich themselves and their friends.
We're both fighters who will take on corporate interests and win.
Energy bills for people in Dallas have already doubled, yet Atmos wants to squeeze even more money out of working class people.
When you have big energy asking this of a city council right before a winter storm, you no longer have a working relationship, you have a shakedown.
Before I was a Democrat, I was oilfield trash. Trump just spent our tax dollars destabilizing Venezuela, making Texas’s economy weaker in the process.
As Railroad Commissioner, I will always fight for Texans first.
Our North Texas Tour was incredibly successful and moving.
Not only are Texans are feeling the high cost of their energy bills, they're ready to fight against it.
Join us in the fight for better energy jobs and more affordable electric bills.
North Texas, I’m headed your way to talk about how we can lower our energy bills and lead the nation in energy innovation.
Meet me at one of our stops this weekend!

Meet Jon Rosenthal. He's running for an important position on the Texas Railroad commission. If you want to be included in my Starter Pack for #Blue and #Progressive candidates, you can reply here or elsewhere on my posts.

After Winter Storm Uri, we knew what needed to be done, but the oil and gas industry stood in the way.
I’m Jon Rosenthal and I’m the candidate running for Railroad Commissioner to lower energy prices and keep Texans safe.
Reminder: Join us in North Texas this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday!
