Politicians sometimes feel misunderstood and the public just the same… We got the chance to podcast with the current Mayor of Midland, Texas and it did not disappoint! Mayor Patrick Payton begins his political journey at the forefront of the global pandemic!! He handled it well and describes every thought and move along the way. He is also putting a huge amount of energy forward to educate the rest of the political world about energy. This show is every bit exciting and how the leaders of today are guiding us into the best future possible. We look forward to staying in touch and hopefully doing a lot more with him in the future and for the oil and gas industry!
