2025 ABC Texas Legislative Conference
Who does ABC PAC support?
Funds are raised through at least two events per year, though contributions may be received at anytime. Contributions to ABC PAC must be personal funds or checks from LLC's or partnerships. No corporate contributions are allowed.
ABC PAC funds are distributed to candidates by the ABC PAC Committee – a committee of representatives from member companies. The committee evaluates the record of the candidate and sometimes requests that campaigns complete a questionnaire and/or submit to an interview with the committee.
To make your donation to our state and local PAC, contact Jane Gimler at jgimler@abcsetx.org.
ABC National also operates a federal PAC. To learn about that effort, visit ABC National PAC.

Texas Energy Day at the Capitol
Texas Energy Day at the Capitol highlighted the vital role of the oil and natural gas industry in the state’s economy, with the industry contributing over $27.3 billion in state and local taxes and royalties in fiscal year 2024—more than the total tax revenue of 34 states. Texas leads the nation in oil and gas production, pipeline miles, and refining capacity, supporting nearly 500,000 jobs.
State lawmakers, including Representative Drew Darby and Senator Brian Birdwell, sponsored resolutions to recognize the industry's impact on economic vitality, energy security, and global stability. Texans also voiced their support online, uniting to demonstrate the importance of oil and natural gas to their families and communities.
