  The Conservative Energy Network engages in 21 states across the country to identify and promote conservative solutions for moving to a clean energy future. We believe that the energy industry is undergoing an unprecedented evolution—one that is shifting away from the traditional model of using fossil fuel generation managed by centralized monopoly utilities to a system that prioritizes the use of advanced emerging technologies, environmental sustainability, market competition, and customer choice to fuel the economy. As this transition occurs, we work every day to encourage the development of a system that leverages the powerful forces of free markets over heavy-handed government mandates. We believe this market-based approach will lead to the most effective and efficient outcomes for consumers, the economy, and—as a byproduct—lower emissions. Show less

  I had the honor of serving as the Policy Advisor for Commissioner Lea Marquez Peterson, and formerly Commissioner Andy Tobin of the Arizona Corporation Commission. The ACC acts as the State's Public Utility Commission and works on the rate-making process for regulated utilities in Arizona. Our Commission, however, has responsibilities that go beyond traditional public utilities regulation. These include facilitating the incorporation of businesses and organizations, securities regulation and railroad/pipeline safety. I worked with the Commissioners and our nine different divisions to adopt rules and regulations, make executive decisions, and pass judgment in contested matters that the Commission heard.
