Arizonans are struggling to keep up with rising utility costs. In the last five years alone, the average utility bill has gone up 23%. And the people jacking up your rates aren’t who you likely think they are.
Hint: It’s not the utilities . . .
The Arizona Corporation Commission, or the ACC, is a branch of state government with enormous power over your daily life. They are the ones responsible for setting the rates you pay. They approve utility profits. They decide how Arizona's energy future gets built.
They were created for one purpose: to make sure monopoly utility companies don’t take advantage of working Arizonans.
They're not doing their job.
Your skyrocketing power bill isn't a coincidence.
It's the result of decisions made by five elected officials.

Utility companies have spent millions of dollars electing commissioners they can influence.

The ACC is Out of Touch!
For decades, Arizona's utility companies have invested in electing commissioners who side with them over ratepayers. The result is a commission that approves rate increase after rate increase, while utilities report record profits and Arizona families struggle to keep up.
The ACC is supposed to be a watchdog. Instead it has become a rubber stamp.
This November Can Change Everything
On November 3rd, 2026, Arizonans will have the opportunity to elect two new ACC commissioners who will put ratepayers first, not utility shareholders.
Commissioners who will:
REJECT
Unreasonable rate increases that pad utility profits at our expense
DEMAND
Transparency from the utilities that hold a monopoly over our power
INVEST
In affordable, reliable energy that lowers costs for Arizona families and small businesses
STAND UP
To corporate greed and do the job they were elected to do
Most Arizonans have never heard of the ACC. Change that. Share this page with your friends, family, and neighbors because the more people who show up to vote in this race, the harder it is for utility-backed candidates to win.
Vote on November 3rd
Arizona's utility companies have had friends on the ACC for too long. It's time for commissioners who answer to ratepayers, not shareholders.
Your vote on November 3rd is the most powerful tool you have. Use it.
