Michael Lozano

Michael D. Lozano joined the Permian Basin Petroleum Association in 2018 to aid in regulatory and government affairs efforts and communications strategy. A graduate of The University of Texas, Michael served as Chief of Staff to former Representative Tryon Lewis (R-Odessa) and current Representative Brooks Landgraf (R-Odessa). A South Texas native, he has lived in and traveled often to the Permian Basin for many years.

Michael’s experience in the Texas House of Representatives includes working for two chairmen, and over the years he has covered 14 different standing and select committees. This range of legislative experience has provided him with an understanding of the many diverse issues that come before the Texas Legislature. In his time representing the Permian Basin in Austin, he has developed important local and statewide relationships that have helped the Association and its member companies in their efforts to effectively advocate for the safe and responsible development of oil and gas resources.

A student of both the political and general history of the state, Michael has also advised several political campaigns, including a few successful ones.

At the Permian Basin Petroleum Association, Michael has successfully advocated for the oil and gas industry in the areas of natural resources, electricity, and environmental regulation. His goal is to continue to advocate for the Permian Basin and those fine folks that call it home and looks forward to ensuring it remains the greatest place to live, work, create jobs, develop natural resources, and raise a family.
