Now seeking to serve as our next Texas State Railroad Commissioner, Ryan is passionate about impacting three aspects of the Commission:

Ensuring efficient and effective service to the state by providing a vision of technical competence, efficient management, and uncompromising customer service to both the industries and the taxpayers of the State of Texas.

Guaranteeing regulations are consistent with both industry best practice and the latest technology and methodologies used in the drilling, production, and transport of natural gas, crude, and other related products.

Carrying a strong message on our ability to self-regulate inside the State of Texas, and therefore advocate on behalf of Texans by pushing back on the intrusion of the EPA, OSHA, MSHA, and other federal regulatory agencies into our energy production.

Ryan is a passionate conservative who is an active member of his local Republican Party and serves on the Board of Directors of the Associated Republicans of Texas and the Pasadena Conservative Citizens Club.

As a leader on Texas A&M’s Mechanical Engineering Advisory Council, Ryan regularly works with leaders in Texas higher education to support the principles that will keep those institutions leading the nation.

We can live in a safer and more prosperous America if we reduce our dependence on foreign oil. To do so, we must maximize production, and ensure that we have the infrastructure to transfer that production. We also need to work towards opening up exports of our products to make sure that we are competing on the global market with our energy products.
