The Lake Travis Republican Club invites you to join us for our March Luncheon on Tuesday, March 17, featuring special guest Chairman Jim Wright of the Texas Railroad Commission.
Chairman Wright is a fifth-generation Texas rancher and lifelong South Texan who has spent decades working in the energy sector. Since his election to the Railroad Commission in 2020, he has focused on maintaining a fair and consistent regulatory environment that supports innovation while protecting the long-term strength of Texas’ energy industry.
During his time at the Commission, Chairman Wright has championed solution-oriented leadership, encouraging collaboration between regulators, industry leaders, and the public to ensure Texas remains a global energy powerhouse. He understands the vital role energy plays in the Texas economy and has emphasized the importance of expanding access to global markets while preparing for the future of energy production.
Chairman Wright has also worked to ensure the Commission is proactive in addressing emerging issues such as water and carbon management, geothermal energy, and hydrogen production and storage, recognizing that the energy industry of tomorrow will look very different from today.
Before his service on the Railroad Commission, Wright began working in the energy industry at just 19 years old, eventually building a successful group of environmental management companies serving the sector. In addition to his professional career, he spent more than two decades as a rodeo bull rider and remains a devoted family man, living in Orange Grove with his wife, Sherry, and their five children.
This will be an engaging discussion about Texas energy policy, economic growth, and the future of the industry that powers our state. You won’t want to miss this opportunity to hear directly from one of Texas’ key energy leaders.

That’s why we have invited our friends at Texans for Vaccine Choice to join us this month and give us their Vaccine Safety Overview presentation, as well as a look ahead at their priorities for the Texas GOP convention. Texans for Vaccine Choice is joining us to provide vital information about the changing vaccine landscape along with steps you can take to join in the battle for medical liberty in Texas.

He became passionate about vaccine choice and informed consent after an adverse reaction to the Hep B shot in his early 30s. This passion solidified in 2021 in the wake of the COVID vaccine rollout.

Bo French is a lifelong Texan with deep roots in the Permian Basin and a family legacy in the oil and gas industry spanning more than 80 years. Raised in Midland and born in Fort Worth, Bo was shaped by a strong work ethic, entrepreneurial spirit, and a commitment to keeping Texas energy strong.
Since 1994, Bo has been actively involved in the energy sector, including a decade as an energy trader, where he gained firsthand experience navigating complex markets and delivering results. As a rancher and mineral owner, he understands both sides of the industry—balancing energy production with property rights and advocating for practical, common-sense regulations.
In addition to his work in Texas, Bo has operated security businesses in the Middle East, providing protection for major energy companies in high-risk environments. His leadership under pressure reflects his ability to take on complex challenges and deliver real results.
Bo also served as Chairman of the Tarrant County Republican Party, where he led major fundraising efforts and helped deliver key wins for Republicans. Known as a strong and outspoken conservative, he has consistently taken bold stands on issues impacting Texas and the nation.
Now running for Texas Railroad Commissioner, Bo French is focused on ensuring Texas remains the energy leader of the world—protecting jobs, strengthening our economy, and standing firm against federal overreach.

Loren Spivack “The Free Market Warrior”
Speaker:
Loren is a popular speaker at Republican and conservative events all over the United States. He was the key note speaker at the Oregon state convention of Republican Women Federated in 2025 and also a featured speaker at the California RWF convention that same year. In the past he has been the key note speaker at state Republican Women Federated conventions in Michigan, Minnesota, Illinois, Virginia, Arizona and Nevada.
Loren was, along with Kelly Ann Conway, the key note speaker at the Delaware state Republican Convention in April of 2023. Previously, he has been key note speaker at the Idaho and Oregon state Republican Conventions. He spoke at the Michigan GOP’s biannual Mackinac conference in 2023.
Always with a fresh take, Loren examines the issues of our time through the eyes of an economist. And reveals fundamental truths underlying the political challenges we face.
He speaks on a very wide variety of topics both narrowly focused (e.g. “The Path not Taken: Fixing American Healthcare with Capitalism.”) and very broad (e.g. Why We Fight. Understanding The Modern Left”)
Author:
Loren writes unique parodies that teach conservative principles and offer conservative critiques, in a humorous way.
So far, he has written seven books:
•The New Democrat, a parody of the Obama Administration.
•The Gorax, an anti-environmentalist parody.
•The Wizard of Iz, a parody of the Clintons and the Democrats in general.
•To Think That I Saw It on CNN Live, A parody of the media in the Trump era.
•Motley Clique, a parody of ‘critical race theory’ and identity politics.
•Kamalat, a parody of the Biden Administration.
•The Fisherman’s Husband, a parody of the LGBTQIA+ – ÷ Movement.

About the Event

Join the Lake Travis Republican Club for a special July Dinner Meeting—our first July gathering and an evening you won’t want to miss.

Following the recent Texas GOP Convention, “Stop Sharia Law” emerged as the second-highest legislative priority, behind only securing Texas elections. This timely discussion will explore what this priority means for Texans, why it has become an important legislative issue, and how it could impact our communities and educational institutions.

We’re honored to welcome an outstanding panel of experts from the Texas Public Policy Foundation, along with Texas State Representative Brent Money, for an informative and engaging discussion.
