Midland Reporter-Telegram 9/9/2018
Sen. Ted Cruz and U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke were in Midland recently as they campaign for the Nov. 6 election.
The Reporter-Telegram had the opportunity to ask the same three questions related to issues in the oil industry.
MRT: How do you view the current efforts to update the Endangered Species Act winding their way through Congress?
How do you view the economic and security importance of energy production for the communities of the Permian Basin, the state and the nation?
Don’t tariffs threaten the ability to obtain the steel needed to build pipelines and therefore threaten the nation’s ability to achieve energy dominance?

Looks like Francis is echoing Cruz's opinions.

Yet when not in an energy focused discussion, his real views come out.
From his own web site, under the topic of energy, the first sentence is:
It is crucial now more than ever that the U.S. and world leaders act urgently to address the issue of climate change.
Followed by:
We must ensure the funding and independence of organizations like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) so that they can provide necessary climate science research.
Texans don't be fooled. Judge Robert O'Rourke by his own words and past actions.
