A Texas rancher donated $2 million to the campaign of Republican political newcomer Sarah Stogner, a lawyer vying for the seat of two-term GOP Texas Railroad commissioner Wayne Christian.
Sarah Stogner, an oil and gas attorney, is running as a Republican for the Railroad Commission of Texas., considered a powerhouse in campaign fundraising, tends to receive individuals checks totaling just as much as $1 million.
Stogner, a political newcomer who shook up the primary with her last ad of herself riding a pumpjack nearly naked, is hoping that the influx of cash from Watt will allow her to pull off a major upset inagainst two-term Railroad Commission of Texas Chairman Wayne Christian. Watt and Stogner, now friends, met when the rancher hired the attorney to represent her.
Wayne Christian, Texas Railroad Commissioner, speaks at the Empower Energizing Bitcoin conference in Houston, Texas, U.S., on Wednesday, March 30, 2022. "I am not a political person. I don't really care about politics," Watt said in a statement to the Tribune. "But when an old Chevron oil well blew out radioactive brine water into my drinking water aquifer, ruining my ranch and forcing me to sell my entire cattle herd, the Railroad Commission teamed up with Chevron to work against me."
"I’m tired of fake conservatives like Wayne Christian trampling on Texans’ private property rights, while lining their pockets with poorly disguised bribes," Watt added.Christian’s campaign, meanwhile, has categorized Stogner as a secret Democrat trying to fool Republican voters. They cite how Stogner made a $25 donation to the 2018 campaign for Democrat Beto O’Rourke in his run against Republican Sen.
