Conversations not Speeches!

Have your utility bills gone through the roof? Wondering who has the power to do something about it?

The Arizona Corporation Commission may be one of the least-known elected bodies in the state—but its decisions affect all of us. Sometimes called Arizona’s “Fourth Branch of Government,” this five-member commission regulates utility rates, oversees securities and investor protections, and helps ensure the safety of railroads and interstate pipelines.

Join us for an informal Zoom conversation with Democratic Corporation Commission candidates Clara Pratte and Jonathon Hill. Get to know the candidates, hear their priorities, and learn why electing two Democrats could dramatically change the balance and direction of the Commission.

Come listen, ask questions, and find out why this race matters to every Arizona household.

Grab your favorite beverage, settle into your favorite chair, and let the candidates come to YOU! No speeches, no scripts, just a chance to get to know the candidates and their positions before you vote!
