Strategy Focus — Demystifying the ACC:
The “Fourth Branch”: The ACC is a 5-member elected body that serves as the only check on utility companies, directly setting your water, electricity, and gas rates.
Broad Authority: Beyond utilities, they function as corporate gatekeepers, regulating business registrations, local investor securities, and railroad/pipeline safety.
The Current Landscape: The commission is currently a 5-0 Republican supermajority. Because these are partisan positions, whoever wins these statewide seats heavily dictates clean energy mandates, solar incentives, and rate caps.
Perk: Wear your Tempe Rising T-shirt to get an exclusive partner discount at the venue.
