The Arizona Corporation Commission regulates Public Utilities.

From the Commission's Web site:

Article 15 of the Arizona Constitution establishes the Arizona Corporation Commission. Only 7 states have constitutionally formed Commissions. Arizona is one of only 13 states with elected Commissioners. In the 37 other states, Commissioners are appointed by either the governor or the legislature.

In most states, the Commission is known as the Public Service Commission or the Public Utility Commission. Our Commission, however, has responsibilities that go beyond traditional public utilities regulation. These additional roles include facilitating the incorporation of businesses and organizations, securities regulation and railroad/pipeline safety.

By virtue of the Arizona Constitution, the Commissioners function in an Executive capacity, they adopt rules and regulations thereby functioning in a Legislative capacity, and they also act in a Judicial capacity sitting as a tribunal and making decisions in contested matters.

This is a very important governmental body, one which hasn't had a single Democrat on it in many years.

Four Democrats are running for the three open seats on the Commission this year, and to qualify to run as clean election candidates, Kara Kelty, Sandra Kennedy, and Paul Newman need our help to get the required number of signatures and contributions from voters (2,000 signatures, with a minimum contribution of $5.00 for each signature.)

The forms are available at the top of this page.
