From Controlling Mars Rovers To Controlling Arizona Utilities And Corporations. Steve Williamson and Karen McClelland welcome Jonathon Hill, candidate for the Arizona Corporation Commission. Hill is an engineer and scientist who has worked on the Mars probe for the past 17 years.
Now he would like to bring his expertise with science and technology to the commission that controls utilities and corporations, as well as railroad and pipeline safety in Arizona.
Traditionally, commissioners have consisted of attorneys, business owners, politicians and people with ties to utility companies. But with the growing number of technical and cybersecurity issues, Hill believes it’s time for a commissioner with a technical background.
His other priorities include reinstating renewable energy standards and helping small utility companies that are struggling and lack the resources to ask the commission to raise their rates.
Hill is running a Clean Elections campaign and is currently collecting signatures to be on the ballot. You can sign his other candidates’ petitions online and donate to Clean Elections candidates at the Arizona Secretary of State’s website.
