The Republican Race for Railroad Commissioner

Audio from our February 8 forum that we co-produced with KLRU. The Texas Railroad Commission is the primary regulator of oil and gas production and drilling in the state. One seat on the three-member commission is open, and seven Republicans are seeking their party’s nomination in the March primary. During this hourlong forum, the candidates and moderator Evan Smith of The Texas Tribune will discuss their ideas about the industry, regulation, the state economy, and other issues that will confront the commission in the years ahead.Want more Tribune live events?
