DAPL Beginning of Summer Happy Hour & Networking Event Date & Time: TBD – Beginning of June Venue: TBD Christi Craddick is in the forefront of the newest wave of pragmatic conservatives moving into leadership roles across Texas. Raised in a strong conservative household, retained as legal counsel by prominent Texas firms, and shaped by more than a decade as a trusted political adviser, Christi has set a clear standard of integrity, self-reliance and innovation in her role as Chairman at the Railroad Commission of Texas. Since her tenure on the Commission began in November 2012, Craddick has pushed to maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of an energy industry that is driving the state’s unparalleled economic success. In the process, she has repeatedly proven that sensible regulations, careful listening and plain talk can foster innovation that has solidified Texas leadership in the energy sector. Making it a top priority, Christi has worked to educate the public about the oil and gas industry and its impact in Texas. She has fought against Washington’s one-size-fits-all environmental policies that would kill jobs and stifle energy production growth. Christi has advocated for recycling in the oilfields, helping to drive the percentage of reclaimed water upwards, an essential achievement in a state enduring a multi-year drought. As part of her efforts to modernize the agency, Christi has championed an Information Technology (IT) overhaul for the Commission, seeking improvements that would upgrade the Geographic Information System, increase public access to the agency’s data, and speed up inspections and permitting times. A native of Midland, Christi earned both her Bachelor’s Degree as a Plan II graduate and her Doctorate of Jurisprudence from The University of Texas at Austin. During her career as an attorney, she specialized in oil and gas, water, tax issues, electric deregulation and environmental policy. Following the example of her father and mother, Craddick has been drawn to public service and politics. As president of a grassroots advocacy firm, she took the lead on work in coalition building in the public policy arena and development and implementation of issue strategies. Christi serves her community as a member of organizations including the State Bar of Texas, University of Texas Liberal Arts Alumni Advisory Council, Southern States Energy Board, The National Petroleum Council and Dell Children’s Medical Center Foundation. Christi resides in Austin with her daughter, Catherine, and is an active member of St. John Neumann Catholic Church.

During his stopover to West Texas on Wednesday, July 29, President Trump was joined by former U.S. Energy Secretary and Texas Governor Rick Perry, current Texas Governor Greg Abbott, Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, Railroad Commissioner Christi Craddick, and other distinguished state lawmakers. Members of the Texas Congressional delegation and the president’s cabinet were also on hand for President Trump’s historic visit to West Texas. President Trump used his stop in the Lone Star State to see firsthand some of Texas’ top oilfields and celebrate the success of the state’s energy industry, which has positioned the United States to lead the world in oil and natural gas production and allowed America’s energy exports to reach all-time highs last year. With his visit to Texas, the president specifically recognized the tremendous impact of development across the Permian Basin region, which holds the nation’s most prolific shale formation that has seen oil and gas production double under his administration. After participating in an oil rig tour Wednesday afternoon led by Double Eagle Energy, the president later delivered remarks in front of members of the Texas energy industry. President Trump spoke of the industry’s ongoing recovery from the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic that depleted energy demands globally, and addressed other challenges presented this year from unstable world oil prices which sent the energy sector into a freefall.

  • VERTICAL TARGET May 31 2012.Qxp
    VOLUME 15, NO. 11 THE TIPRO TAARRGGETET May 31, 2012 PRIMARY ELECTION RESULTS ARE IN! Texas Independent With all votes tallied from the May 29 Texas Primary Election, it appears several races will require a Producers and run-off election in July to determine party nominations. Royalty Owners Both seats on the Railroad Commission will require run-offs. Railroad Commission Chairman Barry Smitherman captured 44 percent of the vote in the race for the Republican nomination for the position Association formerly held by Commissioner Michael Williams. The term, not yet expired, would last for two years before up for election again in 2014. Other contenders in the race included Comal County Commissioner Greg Parker, Guadalupe County attorney Elizabeth Murray-Kolb and businessman Al Lee. Just shy of the majority needed to secure the nomination, a run-off will be held between Smitherman and Parker to determine the final GOP candidate for the position. Smitherman was originally appointed by Gov. Perry to fill the role on July 8, 2011, after the seat was vacated by Williams. Then, in February 2012, Smitherman was elected as Chairman of the Commission. Previously he served seven years at the Public Utility Commission (PUC), three years as a member and four years as Chairman of the Commission. Smitherman currently serves as Texas’ representative on the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission, and as vice chair of the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners’ Gas Committee.

    Chairman Wayne Christian Commissioner Ryan Sitton Commissioner Christi Craddick Railroad Commission of Texas 1701 North Congress Avenue Austin, Texas 78711 IN RE: MOTION FOR COMMISSION CALLED HEARING ON THE VERIFIED COMPLAINT OF PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES U.S.A. INC. AND PARSLEY ENERGY INC. TO DETERMINE REASONABLE MARKET DEMAND FOR OIL IN THE STATE OF TEXAS Dear Chairman Christian and Commissioners Craddick and Sitton, I write to you today to voice our concern regarding the proposal to prorate oil production in the state of Texas. I am the president and CEO of Securing America’s Future Energy (SAFE), a nonpartisan organization committed to reducing our nation’s oil dependence. To strengthen U.S. energy security, SAFE advocates for a comprehensive solution consisting of supporting domestic oil production, while advocating for measures to increase fuel diversity in the transportation sector and create fuel choice for consumers using American natural gas, electricity, or hydrogen. SAFE appreciates the calls to counter Saudi Arabia and Russia’s exploitative oil price war that has the U.S. energy production industry — the Texas Miracle — squarely in their crosshairs. SAFE equally appreciates the need to bolster this industry that’s so vital to our country’s economic and national security. While Saudi Arabia and Russia have agreed to a production deal, the problem for domestic producers has not been solved. While output reductions may provide short-term relief, they will not cure the significant global impact on oil demand driven by COVID-19, and the long-term consequences of this approach are likely to have profound adverse effects on our nation’s energy security goals.
