Neill Snider is the Libertarian candidate for Texas land commissioner in the Nov. 3, 2026, general election. Republican Dawn Buckingham and Democrat Benjamin Flores are also on the Texas secretary of state’s certified ballot.
Background and campaign priorities
On his campaign website, Snider describes himself as a Waco mechanical contractor and small cattle-operation owner, with nearly four decades working in the trades. He also reports investing in East Texas oil and gas interests.
Snider says state land and mineral assets should be managed efficiently and transparently to maximize revenue for taxpayers and public schools, or sold. He supports responsible energy production, fair leasing practices and reduced spending in the General Land Office. He says the office should focus on its core responsibilities and avoid political favoritism.
