Via Byron, I see that Railroad Commissioner Michael Williams blog. Well, sort of, as Byron says, since the index page is a set of links to individual entries rather than a set of the entries themselves. His links page does establish himself as a blog reader, though, so you have to give him credit for that. Political views and taste in reading aside, I heartily approve of elected officials who blog, and so I salute Michael Williams, whose archives show that he's the pioneer here, beating State Rep. Aaron Pena to the punch by a few months. May Williams' (hopefully Democratic) successor pick up the habit as well.
