While serving on the commission, I have fought for energy reliability, especially in standing up against out of state special interest groups that have brought policies to the state that threaten our reliability. I've also stood for affordable rates for our ratepayers, especially seniors in our most vulnerable areas around fixed incomes. I have approved a $40 million rebate for AP's and Tep customers, a utility scale moratorium on disconnections during the global pandemic, and recently approved a $200 million rate cut for AP's customers during the recent rate case.
