Incumbent Railroad Commissioner Wayne Christian, left, and challenger Sarah Stogner speak during a forum in Paris, Texas, on April 26. Voters will decide the GOP nominee for a commission seat in a May 24 runoff election., our daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news.
Christian was up first and talked about how Texas has exported liquified natural gas to help Europe during its energy crisis following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the importance of oil and gas to the nation’s economy and how Democrats are trying to abolish the industry in the name of slowing climate change.When he finished, Rice-Tims, Hommel and the audience started asking questions — starting with the name thing.
Stogner told the audience she wants to focus on reducing groundwater contamination and air pollution in Texas and tried to reassure them that she’s sufficiently conservative by saying that she opposes abortion, favors gun rights and does not want to defund police departments. Hommel, walking between tables in the audience, seemed impressed. “She’s punching back,” Hommel told a Tribune reporter as Christian spoke.
