Thanks for your support Judge Sakai! I'm proud to have leaders all across the Lone Star State supporting our campaign.

Jon E. Rosenthal @jon-rosenthaltx.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

French has completely flatlined at 45%, making him the weakest Republican candidate statewide. Meanwhile, Jon Rosenthal has climbed steadily from 40% to 44%, closing the gap to just 1 point. French has hit his ceiling, but our coalition is just getting started.

We just put our first paid political advertisement on the air!

Jon E. Rosenthal @jon-rosenthaltx.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

NEW POLL: 44% to 42%. We are just 2 points away from taking the lead! Texans are ready for a real oilfield engineer on the Railroad Commission, not a fake cowboy stirring up hate online.

BREAKING: The Houston Chronicle Editorial Board has endorsed our campaign for Texas Railroad Commissioner! From major newspaper endorsements to bipartisan support across the state, momentum is building to put a mechanical engineer on the Railroad Commission.

Catch me live on MS NOW tonight at 8:30 PM CT to discuss our historic grassroots momentum, why prominent Republicans are joining our movement, and our plan to put a 25-year mechanical engineer on the Railroad Commission.

Texas energy regulation calls for real-world experience, not extreme culture wars. I’ve spent 25 years in oil and gas, from drilling rigs to production platforms. I’m running for Railroad Commissioner to fix real problems for everyday Texans.

Jon E. Rosenthal @jon-rosenthaltx.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Every Texan deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. That’s the standard I hold myself to, and it’s the standard we should expect from anyone asking for your vote. Watch Bo French’s own words. Then decide if he meets it.

When GOP architect Karl Rove breaks a 30-year voting streak to endorse our campaign, it proves this race isn't about party lines, it's about competence vs. chaos. Join the bipartisan coalition ready to put an engineer on the RRC.

Jon E. Rosenthal @jon-rosenthaltx.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

The national spotlight is on Texas. Catch me on @cnn.com tonight at 5:35PM CT to discuss how our grassroots movement is closing the gap, building a bipartisan coalition, combatting racism, and fighting to fix our power grid.

Jon E. Rosenthal @jon-rosenthaltx.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

This race isn’t about party lines, it’s about competence and decency. When longtime Texas GOP leaders declare my opponent unfit due to overt racism, it shows what’s at stake. Texans are uniting for an oilfield engineer to fix the grid and lower bills, not stoke hate.

Jon E. Rosenthal @jon-rosenthaltx.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

The Texas Railroad Commission quietly voted to end the 21-year policy that guarantees Texans an opportunity to address their elected commissioners at open meetings. Citizens driving hundreds of miles from all across Texas to voice their concerns to the RRC are being shut out, and it is shameful.

Jon E. Rosenthal @jon-rosenthaltx.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Houston! Join me, Congresswoman Lizzie Fletcher, and Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia to celebrate and help us flip the Texas Railroad Commission! With our race within 4 points, every bit of momentum counts as we head toward November. RSVP here: [secure.actblue.com/donate/rosenthalbday2026]

Giddy up, fake cowboy! We're statistically tied with Bo French 🤠

0167

Jon E. Rosenthal @jon-rosenthaltx.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

If it's a public meeting, the public should be able to participate. Texas has an open meetings law for a reason. Texans have a right to speak directly to their elected Railroad Commissioners about the decisions that affect their communities. I will fight to restore transparency and accountability.

094

Jon E. Rosenthal @jon-rosenthaltx.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Gas prices in Fort Worth in March? $3.19. Five months later? $3.79 at the same station! Texans can't afford to continue on like this. In November, we gotta choose competence over chaos.

Jon E. Rosenthal @jon-rosenthaltx.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

It’s my birthday today! I don't need a fancy party or speeches today, I just want to thank everyone who has supported our movement to bring real competence, accountability, and engineering expertise back to Austin.

Real Landman Reacts to Hollywood’s "Landman" Jon Rosenthal, Texas RRC Democratic Nominee, and Chris Jimenez, candidate running for State Representative in TX HD52, talk about what Hollywood gets WRONG about Texas Oil & Gas.

Jon E. Rosenthal @jon-rosenthaltx.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

A core policy pillar of my platform is enforcing mandatory weatherization requirements for critical natural gas facilities. As Railroad Commissioner, I will implement rigorous, unannounced safety audits to ensure companies are structurally prepared for climate extremes before the crisis hits.

085

Jon E. Rosenthal @jon-rosenthaltx.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

National news is covering our race for the Texas Railroad Commission, not because of energy policy, but because of extreme hateful rhetoric. Texans deserve a stable grid, lower utility bills, and public servants who respect the people. I’m an engineer, not an internet troll. Let’s fix the machine.

032

Jon E. Rosenthal @jon-rosenthaltx.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Excited to announce our FIRST town hall later this month in Laredo! The Texas Railroad Commission has got nothing to do with trains and has everything to do with our utility bills, our economy, and our critical oil and gas industry. Click the link in my bio to RSVP!

043

Jon E. Rosenthal @jon-rosenthaltx.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

My policy platform calls for an end to routine flaring and venting practices, restricting them strictly to true emergencies. This is is a massive waste of energy resources that could be stabilizing our power grid and lowering utility bills for Texas families.

022

Jon E. Rosenthal @jon-rosenthaltx.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

When oil and gas companies repeatedly violate environmental or safety regulations, the current Railroad Commission’s response is usually a minor slap on the wrist followed by rubber-stamping their next project. That stops under my watch: No new permits for operators with unresolved rule violations.

064

Jon E. Rosenthal @jon-rosenthaltx.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

While I'm focused on delivering technical solutions for our energy grid and lowering utility bills, my opponent is attacking Texas seniors, students, and neighbors with disabilities as "low-IQ parasites." Texas infrastructure demands serious, professional leadership, not unhinged internet cruelty.

055

Jon E. Rosenthal @jon-rosenthaltx.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

I recognize the position I'm running for does not directly regulate data centers. However, folks have been asking for my viewpoint, and I'm happy to share.

054

Jon E. Rosenthal @jon-rosenthaltx.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

Toxic wastewater is poisoning TX groundwater. A 2007 Midland spill is STILL being cleaned up after the operator went bankrupt. With 11k+ leaking wells, we need a 25-yr engineer to finally hold bad actors accountable.

074

Jon E. Rosenthal @jon-rosenthaltx.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

I’ve never owned Gucci loafers, but I’ve worn out plenty of steel-toe boots on actual drilling rigs. Bo French has never had to get his hands dirty. To the Texans who voted against French in the primary, especially Hawk Dunlap supporters, you have a welcoming home in this campaign.

065

Jon E. Rosenthal @jon-rosenthaltx.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

West Texas keeps shaking from oilfield quakes, yet the RRC is creating a "DOGE Task Force" to weaken rules. I spent 25+ years as an oil & gas engineer, I know how to manage seismic risk. Bo French has never worked a day in this industry. Texans deserve competence over chaos.

074

Jon E. Rosenthal @jon-rosenthaltx.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

Texas landowners are being left to pay for corporate cleanup bills as toxic "zombie wells" threaten our water. This is why a veteran oilfield expert and former Republican crossed the aisle to endorse my campaign. Physics doesn’t care about political parties.

Jon E. Rosenthal @jon-rosenthaltx.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

"A job like that doesn't need a partisan. It needs someone who actually knows how the equipment fails." — Hawk Dunlap Listen to why oilfield expert and former Republican primary candidate Hawk Dunlap is crossing the aisle to support our campaign for the RRC.

Incredible energy at the state convention this weekend! Honored to stand on stage with oilfield expert Hawk Dunlap. When a former Republican primary candidate crosses the aisle to support a 25-year mechanical engineer, it shows Texas is ready to choose competence over chaos.

041

Jon E. Rosenthal @jon-rosenthaltx.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

My general election opponent is now using his platform to target and attack innocent children celebrating their kindergarten graduation. Let’s be completely clear, a grown man harassing 5-year-olds online to score cheap political points has absolutely no business running a critical state agency.

2102

Jon E. Rosenthal @jon-rosenthaltx.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

"I ran for the Railroad Commission as a Republican. I'm voting Democratic." I am honored to earn the endorsement of oilfield expert Hawk Dunlap. This race isn't about partisan games; it's a choice between Chaos vs. Competence.

074

Jon E. Rosenthal @jon-rosenthaltx.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

Bo French is using this critical regulatory race to audition for national cable news slots, shouting about policies that have absolutely nothing to do with the Railroad Commission. When you strip away the national talking points, this election is simply a choice between Chaos vs. Competence.

173

Jon E. Rosenthal @jon-rosenthaltx.bsky.social · 17/06/2026

When Texas voters mobilize against hateful rhetoric, Bo French's immediate response is to threaten American citizens with ICE and mass deportation. This isn’t a quote taken out of context; it is a look at the unhinged extremism we are up against this November.

294

Jon E. Rosenthal @jon-rosenthaltx.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

This is what my opponent thinks counts as "leadership" in Texas. The RRC requires data-driven management to fix our power grid and protect our water. Instead, Bo French uses his platform to fuel bigotry. Texas deserves an experienced engineer, not an internet troll who puts hate above the public.

073

Jon E. Rosenthal @jon-rosenthaltx.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

The politics of division is exhausting. Texans are ready for leaders who listen and focus on delivering real results for our communities. Shoutout to Bobby Pulido for the real talk. Let’s move past the noise and get to work.

176

Jon E. Rosenthal @jon-rosenthaltx.bsky.social · 02/06/2026

The politics of division is exhausting, Texans deserve real community benefits, not endless political theater. I sat down to talk with Bobby Pulido about our plan for real solutions, we're done with false promises and are ready to deliver real solutions.

1105

Jon E. Rosenthal @jon-rosenthaltx.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

Even Greg Abbott admits it, Bo French doesn’t know the first thing about oil and gas. The runoff is over, and November is locked in, an experienced mechanical engineer vs. a candidate whose own party warns would wreck Texas energy. We need competence, not chaos.

Statement on the Republican Primary Runoff Results for Texas Railroad Commissioner

184

Jon E. Rosenthal @jon-rosenthaltx.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

While others fight internal party wars, we're focused on the real work. Texas needs a mechanical engineer on the Railroad Commission to fix infrastructure, protect water, and stop the corporate shortcuts hitting your wallet. We're 31,676 votes away. Let’s get to work.

031

Jon E. Rosenthal @jon-rosenthaltx.bsky.social · 14/05/2026

What’s happening in Brownsville is a warning for every Texan. Billionaires like Elon Musk see our land as a disposable launchpad for their ambitions, polluting coastal waters and scorching protected habitats. While they’re focused on another planet, they’re leaving ours behind.

073

Jon E. Rosenthal @jon-rosenthaltx.bsky.social · 12/05/2026

It’s engineering reality: to keep AI processors from melting, data centers "drink" millions of gallons of Texas water daily. As a mechanical engineer, I see a system out of balance. While families face shortages, the RRC lets AI billionaires drain our aquifers without a plan.

021

Jon E. Rosenthal @jon-rosenthaltx.bsky.social · 30/04/2026

I’m a mechanical engineer and field technician, not a career politician. My goal isn't to dismantle Texas energy, it’s to make it work for you. We need a Railroad Commission that prioritizes technical competence, a stable grid, and lower costs over political favors.

062

Jon E. Rosenthal @jon-rosenthaltx.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

Texas is the energy capital of the world, but we still saw the grid fail during the freeze. Why? Because the Railroad Commission failed to ensure our fuel supply was winterized. We need technical leadership on the RRC to keep Texas families safe and the lights on.

032

Jon E. Rosenthal @jon-rosenthaltx.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

Texas has grown by 5 million people and our grid is feeling the heat. To power our future and keep costs down, we need energy strategy, not political theater. I’m a mechanical engineer running to bring technical competence back to the RRC. We are 31,676 votes away. Let’s get it.

020

Jon E. Rosenthal @jon-rosenthaltx.bsky.social · 21/04/2026

$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.
