Texas candidate kicks up controversy by posing nearly nude atop an oil pump

A woman running for railroad commissioner in the Lone Star State has raised eyebrows over her racy campaign video — in which she straddles an oil pump wearing little more than a cowboy hat and boots.

“They said I needed money. I have other assets,” GOP lawyer Sarah Stogner, 37, said in a campaign clip posted to TikTok.

Stogner, who posted the steamy video on Super Bowl Sunday, said it was shot in November by a documentary crew she hired for her campaign against incumbent Wayne Christian, the Houston Chronicle reported.

Some friends suggested that she post the video on TikTok to call attention to leaking wells in West Texas, according to the paper.

“I started doing a little digging and was like, wow, this is great,” she told the outlet. “This is how I’m going to communicate to the masses about what’s happening out here, because people are visual.”

Stogner told the paper she decided to release the video because the risk seemed worth it — as a University of Houston poll showed her only a few points behind Christian, who has been bankrolled by oil and gas interests.

“I knew it would be controversial. I didn’t realize it would incite the rage and anger that it did from the press,” she told the Chronicle. Sarah Stogner.

The San Antonio Express-News described the video as “disgraceful” and pulled its endorsement of Stogner.

“We review social media, and Stogner would never have been our pick had the video appeared before we made our recommendation,” the paper said in an editorial.

“It’s painful to rescind a recommendation. But this is an opportunity to reaffirm our principles and expectations,” the editorial board wrote. Sarah Stogner. In the video, Sarah Stogner straddles an oil pump wearing a cowboy hat and boots.

In Texas the railroad Commission is an archaic name for what should be the Texas Commission on oil and gas. The TXRRC regulates the oil and gas industry and oh yeah what little railroads are left from the 1890s. Originally it was railroads that hauled barrels of oil in actual barrels from the east Texas oil field in the early 1900s this is why the RRC is in charge of pipelines and drilling permits.

Hey Laz, is she worth voting for? Tapping, no problem, but voting for someone is very personal and serious and can have long-term implications, so I need the EXPERT to weigh in.
