The first section examines the location of the members of the Texas Senate and of the Texas House on the liberal-conservative dimension along which legislative politics takes place in Austin. In both chambers, every Republican is more conservative than every Democrat and every Democrat is more liberal than every Republican. There does, however, exist substantial ideological diversity within the respective Democratic and Republican delegations in each chamber. The second section explores the extent to which each senator and each representative was on the winning side of the non-lopsided final passage votes (FPVs) on which they voted.

As you recall, last Session our base rate increase bill was heard in the House Pensions, Investments and Financial Services Committee and there was much discussion about studying this concept between Session.

  • THE TIPRO TARGET March 5, 2020
    VOLUME 22, NO. 5 THE TIPRO TARGET March 5, 2020 Texas TEXAS’ 2020 PRIMARY ELECTION RESULTS IN Independent UNEXPECTED DEFEAT FOR RAILROAD COMMISSION INCUMBENT Producers and Royalty Owners Super Tuesday brought unexpected victories for some candidates in Texas, and big upsets for others. Association Political newcomer James “Jim” Wright defeated office incumbent Ryan Sitton for the Republican nomination to become Texas’ next Railroad Commissioner. Securing only 44 percent of the vote compared to Wright's 56 percent, late Tuesday Sitton conceded the race to Wright. “As I watched the primary results come in, I was shocked,” Sitton said in a message sent out to his supporters Wednesday. “I have to admit, I didn’t see it coming, and I am very disappointed,” he continued. “I have truly enjoyed serving you as your Texas Railroad Commissioner, and I was excited about the future. But this is how our election process works, and now someone else will be stepping in to represent the people of this state.” Before being elected in 2014 to the commission, Sitton and his wife Jennifer founded Pinnacle Advanced Reliability Technologies in 2006, an engineering and technology company focused on reliability and integrity programs for the oil, gas and petrochemical industries. Sitton now says he intends to return to the leadership team at Pinnacle once he completes his term at the end of the year at the Railroad Commission. In a post shared through social media platform Twitter, Wright said his win showed “Texans believe in integrity, leadership and innovation.” He added, “I look forward to bringing our message to all Texans and working with Wayne Christian and Christi Craddick in January 2021 to keep our state the top leader in natural resource production in the country.” Wright has campaigned on a platform of open communication between state regulators and stakeholders.

  • Political Ad. Paid for by Wayne Christian for Texas
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 9, 2013 Contact: Luke Macias (210) 259-5053 ChristianForTexas.com CHRISTIAN ANNOUNCES CAMPAIGN FOR TEXAS RAILROAD COMMISSIONER Today former State Representative Wayne Christian announced his campaign for the Republican nomination for Railroad Commissioner. Christian was recognized during his time in the Texas House as a conservative champion, spending three years as President of the Texas Conservative Coalition. Christian was also consistently ranked as a top conservative from groups like Young Conservatives of Texas, Texans for Fiscal Responsibility, and Texas Eagle Forum. “Over the past few years the Federal Government has waged a war on oil and gas development,” said Christian. “Nowhere is that more apparent than in Texas. We’re blessed as a state with immense resources, and are fortunate to maintain a good business climate thanks to low taxation and appropriate regulation. If the Obama Administration has their way, however, Texas energy development will be suffocated by a wave of new regulations and bureaucratic red tape.” A citizen of deep East Texas, Christian has seen first-hand the tremendous economic benefits that oil and natural gas development can provide to once poor communities. “The benefits of Texas’ energy boom are far-reaching,” commented Christian. “Good paying jobs in oil and gas are putting food on the table for thousands of families, and are creating the need for more construction and infrastructure employment. Increased energy revenue means our schools can benefit from new learning materials, high-speed internet, and much needed repairs and renovations.” “I have fought the EPA from Al Gore to Obama, and bring true experience to the table as a former Vice Chairman of the Regulated Industries and a two-time member of the Energy Committee.

  • A Letter to Abbott
    September 4, 2019 The Honorable Greg Abbott Governor of Texas P.O. Box 12428 Austin, TX 78711 Dear Governor Abbott: The undersigned members of the House Democratic Caucus write today to urge you to call an emergency session of the 86th Legislature in response to the tragic mass shootings that have taken place in our state in the last several years, including two in the last month. But it is not only mass shootings we must respond to – more than 3,000 people lose their lives to gun violence in Texas each year. That horrifying statistic alone should prompt us to take action. We agree with your comments at Sunday’s press conference that the status quo is unacceptable. Members of the House Democratic Caucus, for several sessions now, have proposed dozens of specific bills aimed at changing the status quo by making Texans safer through common-sense gun and public safety legislation. We have attached a comprehensive list of bills our members authored in the 86th Regular Session for your review and consideration. As governor, you have the sole authority to both call an emergency session and determine the legislative proposals that are eligible to be considered. While we believe many if not all of the attached legislative proposals will help address the gun violence epidemic, at a minimum we ask that you place the following items on the call: 1. Enacting extreme risk protective order laws and closing existing loopholes in current protective order laws 2. Closing the background check loopholes 3. Banning the sale of high-capacity magazines 4.
