Are you saying there are no progressives in Texas?

Because I know many progressives in Texas.

if someone is running for office and successful in Texas, odds are they are getting fossil fuel money. it's a pretty good rule of thumb.

now, does supporting building fossil fuel infrastructure make someone not progressive? i'll let you decide where to draw the line for yourself. we are all more of a combination of various policies and beliefs and just one more conservative policy isn't going to throw it for me at least.
