One might be forgiven for having assumed that Ken Paxton is the most offensive and least-qualified Republican nominee for statewide office in Texas this cycle, and there's certainly a strong arguement for that position. But, definitely in the running for that title is Bo French, the completely unqualified and even more unhinged nominee for Texas Railroad Commission.

Luckily, the Democrats have fielded the direct opposite in the energy sector and oilfield expert - and Houston-area State Representative - Jon Rosenthal, who is by leaps and bounds more qualified for the job, and will be a compelling choice even for Republicans, provided they have even a limited understanding of the importance of the Texas energy industry and the vital role the Texas Railroad Commission plays in its proper management.
