Some asked why I care about a low level race most Texans haven’t heard of. TX RRC makes decisions that affect me, my family and yours. I want smart, experienced “adults” for this job, not somebody just buying favors for their next run.
Read daddy L.R. French Jr’s obituary. Quite the man in his day. But unlike his brothers, Bo fell so far from the family tree the only thing like his old man is the hair.
His life’s been one long party interrupted by business and personal failures plus two losing runs for office in his home district. Not surprising for an egotistical bully who brags about destroying people, men and women. I know some of them. They’re why I’m here.
With enormous family wealth Bo’s never had to actually work or worry about anything. He makes up fluffy resumes, stomps his foot and calls anybody who criticizes him a liar. He couldn’t relate to real people if there was a gun to his head. Texans deserve better.
Bo’s fanboy team tells me this election is already a done deal. Apparently he doesn’t need my vote or yours.
The big question is can they keep those skeletons in the closet cause Bo French wants to be your governor.
Making it easy for you to label and judge me, I’m a conservative leaning Independent raised by East Texas Democrats. I see life from both sides.
@LSPmatt@bofrench@GregAbbott_TX Everything Bo French touches turns to ashes. Marriage, business, politics. He won’t serve out his term. Bo’s not a finisher.

This is why gay Republicans are really counting on Bo French. Thanks to Ken Paxton adultery is completely normalized and celebrated within the Texas GOP. It won’t be long before Bo French becomes the same symbol for gays. We’re rooting for you girl! #txlege
Can you hear Bo French begging his top fanboys Posobiec, Andrew Kolvet, Bannon to pull him a Trump endorsement even if it’s only symbolic now. Might come with a certificate suitable for framing.
Problem is Bannon’s not tight with the Boss anymore and Trump supported Wright.
Interesting as we get further into this century a political candidate’s honesty, integrity, good works becomes less important than what they’re against, who they hate. In a few years we’ll see campaign headquarters in prisons. It’s possible now for President and Congress and a few states allow felons to hold office.
@TrueTXProtect@Texansfan46 Dunn’s son sued the RRC through CrownQuest. Wright pissed em off and Bo finally gets to buy a seat on something after two losses.
RRC’s had no authority over crude oil production since the 70’s. It’s a regulatory agency making rules for fossil fuel/mining industries. French and billionaire benefactor Dunn need control to benefit their companies. Wright was updating rules so they killed him, politically.
Just one notable Republican has so far not gotten behind French. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who was among his harshest critics, has so far remained silent on his victory. https://t.co/xGNud0CMOX
I can speak from experience that if a landowner has considerable acreage and one of those consortiums comes along offering to rain down millions on you, it’s tough not to say yes. I didn’t but know a few who did. They can provide for their families now and I don’t judge them. The public desperately needs truthful info on the good and the bad about these centers.
So many good tidbits in here, but this is particularly illuminating:
@TexasTribune found that nearly half of the planned data centers in Texas are set to be built in unincorporated areas — up from 12% now.
That's important bc TX counties lack the broad zoning power cities have.
The sweet deal for him, other than Elon giving him a million, is hard metrics are hard to come by. All his claims are promotional and folks keep sending him money. Audited tallies supporting Lara Trump calling him the top individual Republican voter registrar don’t exist. Some of his claims have been disputed, in particular the Amish. No doubt though, as a gay Republican, he’s generated awareness. His book sales are proof publicly works.
