A Fresh Face for Texas Land Commissioner: Why Jose Loya Stands Out

West Texas, USATuesday, December 30, 2025

West Texas has been stuck in a loop of empty promises and tired politics from both sides. People here know the truth: those in power don’t really care about the hardworking folks in the oil fields, the veterans raising families, or the immigrants who worked hard to become citizens. It’s time for a change, and Jose Loya’s campaign for Land Commissioner might just be what West Texas needs.

Jose Loya: A Leader Who Understands

Jose Loya isn’t your typical politician. He’s not some smooth-talking suit from the big cities. He’s one of us.

  • Born in Mexico, raised in Dumas
  • Served two tours in Iraq as a Marine
  • Worked in oil refineries
  • Fought for safer workplaces alongside the United Steelworkers
  • Married to a public school teacher
  • Raising three kids in the Texas Panhandle

His life story resonates with West Texans.

A Practical Approach to Energy

Loya’s approach to energy is practical and forward-thinking. He supports an "all-of-the-above" strategy:

  • Producing oil and gas safely
  • Investing in solar and wind energy

This isn’t just good for the environment; it’s good for jobs and the economy. It’s a strategy that has worked in New Mexico under Democratic leadership, and it could work here too—benefiting everyone, not just those with connections in Austin.

Unity: The Key to Moving Forward

The key to moving forward is unity. Texans share common values:

  • Low taxes
  • Maximizing natural resources for the future
  • Pride in the military
  • Faith
  • Protecting West Texas’ interests

It’s time to break free from the old, stale politics and demand better. Both parties need to hear loud and clear: we’re done with hypocrisy and backroom deals. We need leaders who will actually get things done.

A New Kind of Politics

Jose Loya represents a new kind of politics—one built by everyday people like:

  • Marines
  • Oilfield workers
  • Teachers
  • Churchgoers

It’s time for a fresh start, and Loya might just be the leader West Texas has been waiting for.
