Rep. Stefani Carter, R-Dallas, dropped out of the race for Texas Railroad Commission, saying she will instead run for reelection in HD-102. But her contest got busy while she was out, and three of the contestants quickly let the world know they will remain the race. The RRC contest is crowded too, with former state Reps. Ray Keller, R-North Richland Hills, and Wayne Christian, R-Center; Becky Berger of Schulenburg, a geologist; Malachi Boyuls, a Dallas attorney; Joe Pool Jr. of Austin, an attorney; and Ryan Sitton of Friendswood, an engineer.
