Bo French Ran an Openly Racist Campaign. Texas Voters Went With His Opponent Instead.

Democrat Jon Rosenthal has defeated GOP nominee Bo French to secure a seat on the three-member Texas Railroad Commission. This regulatory body oversees the oil and gas industry within the state. Bo French faced significant backlash and criticism from fellow Republicans due to inflammatory and racist comments made during his campaign. Consequently, Texas voters chose Rosenthal over French, as projected by NBC News, following the controversy surrounding the Republican candidate's openly racist campaign strategy.
