Quick intro - I'm here so I don't lose track of people I'm following over at Threads (I'm lwintx over there). I'm a blue dot in a red area of a currently blue county in TX that's gerrymandered to hell and back, and trying to keep up with election news without having an anxiety attack.

My name is Jon Rosenthal. I’m a career engineer, not a career politician. Today, I’m announcing my candidacy for the Texas Railroad Commission, one of the most corrupt offices in our state.
Together, we’ll clean up the Railroad Commission and return it to the people.

Texas House Democrats breaking quorum isn’t on the taxpayer dime, but Greg Abbott’s stunt to punish them in court is.

Governor Abbott filed a lawsuit to remove Democrats from office for breaking quorum to stop Republicans’ racist redistricting scheme.
The lawsuit is stupid, but we’re entering into dangerous territory.
