Porter Leading by 12 Points

 

A recent poll shows David Porter, the Republican nominee for the Texas Railroad Commission, with a commanding lead over his Democrat opponent. Take a quick look at the poll:

 

 

 David Porter's experience in the oil and gas industry is broad. In fact, he may be the most qualified candidate for the Texas Railroad Commission in nearly two decades. In 1985, he started his own small business in Midland, an accounting firm specializing in energy. As a Certified Public Accountant, nearly his entire career has been spent working with independent oil and gas producers, operators, oilfield service companies and royalty owners providing accounting, financial and tax council. Further, he has a earned a three decade-long record of pro-business, free market credentials that will guide him as he serves Texas on the Railroad Commission.

David Porter is the only candidate in this race with real, hands-on oil and gas experience. He knows first-hand the challenges that producers face from overregulation and taxes. Now more than ever, we need to encourage drilling here in Texas and get out of the way of the producers, large and small, so they can keep Texas energy strong.
The campaign is off to a great start and we are winning, but we need your help. The Democrats will put considerable resources behind our opponent. Please take a quick minute to join our team by clicking "Get Involved" and make an online contribution by clicking "Donate."
