Texas candidate took money from Democrats, then flipped to GOP [View all]

A Texas Railroad Commissioner candidate is in hot water after flipping her candidacy from Democrat to Republican—just days after fundraising from Democratic donors.

Katherine Culbert, a process safety engineer who has worked in the oil and gas sector, reportedly raised money for her 2026 campaign as a Democrat through ActBlue, a fundraising site for Democratic candidates, before suddenly filing to run as a Republican.

Culbert signaled that she had switched gears, announcing that she officially filed to run as a Republican on X on Tuesday, writing, "I am directing my campaign toward all Texans and stressing that effective statewide leadership must rise above partisan expectations."
