Michael Williams Unveils Campaign Tour Bus

Austin, TX--

This morning in Austin, TX, Railroad Commissioner Michael Williams unveiled his new campaign bus and launched a 21-day campaign tour of Texas. The bus runs on clean-burning natural gas produced in Texas!

Michael Williams has been a major proponent of energy independence and using renewable energy resources such as clean coal, nuclear power, natural gas, and wind for the ten years that he has served Texas in his position as Railroad Commissioner.

Under Michael Williams guidance, the Texas Railroad Commission promoted energy independence and promoted the use of Texas energy resources, all while maintaining a balanced budget and exploring free market solutions to our energy needs. The Railroad Commission, despite its title, is actually the regulatory board for energy resources in Texas. Williams said the focus for his office in the upcoming 81st Legislative Session will be finding ways to utilize our renewable energy resources through free market incentives instead of tax increases.

Williams launched his tour today from the Travis County Republican Party Headquarters while serving dozens of his supporters breakfast. Also in attendance were Jerry Mikus and Pam Waggoner who are both running for State Representative seats in Travis County.

Commissioner Williams to Debate Opponent

Texas Railroad Commissioner, Republican Michael Williams, announced that he will debate his challenger Mark Thompson in the near future. Details have not yet been worked out for a time or venue as of this morning.

"I'm looking forward to a productive discussion on energy policy and the role of energy in Texas' future," said Williams.

The Texas Railroad Commission is comprised of three elected commissioners. The role of the Railroad Commission is to regulate oil and natural gas in Texas. Needless to say, the three commissioners of the Railroad Commission have a big hand in creating energy policy for Texas.

Texas is responsible for 1/4 of all of the United States domestic oil production and gasoline refining. Because of the business friendly community that the Railroad Commission and the State Legislature have worked towards, Texas has been able to take the lead in finding clean and safe ways to increase domestic oil production while also moving into wind, clean burning coal, and solar production. Michael Williams is one of the big reasons why Texas has been able to take the lead on energy issues.

Michael Williams for US Senate!

Michael Williams, the current Texas Railroad Commissioner, would be the perfect person to represent Texas in the US Senate. When Kay Bailey Hutchison runs for Governor in 2010, Michael Williams should be the only candidate to replace her. Nobody else articulates conservative principles, speaks passionately to the audience, and inspires those around him to achieve greatness. Listening to tonight's speech at the Republican National Convention solidifies my opinion.

Michael Williams already has my vote for Senate. Does he have yours?
