flag Bo French, former Tarrant County GOP chair, campaigns for Texas Railroad Commission, facing incumbent Jim Wright in 2026 primary amid controversy over past offensive remarks.

flag Tarrant County GOP Chair Bo French has launched his campaign for the Texas Railroad Commission, a regulatory body overseeing oil and gas, after resigning from his party leadership role. flag He is challenging incumbent Republican Chair Jim Wright in the March 2026 primary, framing the race as a defense of Texas against perceived threats from radical Islam and climate policies. flag French has faced widespread criticism for past social media posts, including a controversial poll asking whether Jews or Muslims posed a greater national security threat, and for using offensive language targeting Black, Jewish, Muslim, and disabled individuals. flag His remarks have drawn condemnation from Republican leaders, including Lt. Gov. flag Dan Patrick, who called for his resignation. flag Democrat Jon Rosenthal of Houston has announced a campaign, the only one so far, emphasizing practical energy issues over divisive rhetoric. flag The commission’s members serve staggered six-year terms, with one seat contested every two years.
