Under Dawn Buckingham’s leadership, Texas is achieving record energy production while defending Texas landowners at every turn. As steward of more than 13 million acres managed by the GLO – the largest land and mineral owner in Texas – Dawn is unleashing Texas energy, protecting landowner rights, beating back federal overreach, and keeping Texas land out of the hands of foreign governments.

Texas landowners and energy workers do not need a lecture from Austin or Washington about how to manage their land or run their industry. They need a Land Commissioner who understands what is at stake and fights for them. Dawn Buckingham has done exactly that.

Dawn has defeated repeated attempts by environmental activists to weaponize the Endangered Species Act (ESA) against Texas oil and gas production — protecting Texas energy jobs and the communities that depend on them. She has managed state lands to support energy production and maximize returns for Texas, not for outside interest groups.

She has also made sure Texas land stays in Texas hands. When foreign governments — including entities linked to Communist China — moved to purchase Texas acreage, Dawn acted. Over 300,000 acres were blocked from foreign purchase under her watch.

Texas land is a Texas resource. Dawn Buckingham treats it that way.
