“My passion for these issues has grown over the course of the year, as has my belief that my experience as a state regulator is going to be valuable in Congress and the House.

“We constantly take on new challenges and opportunities, including achieving a clean electric grid by 2040, new regulatory models like utility thermal energy networks, and building out of the transmission system to meet the state’s goals.”
