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.
