At its open meeting on January 14, 2026, the Arizona Corporation Commission selected Commissioner Nick Myers as its new chairman.
Chair Myers expressed gratitude to his colleagues for their support. “First, I want to thank my colleagues, for the confidence you’ve placed in me by electing me to serve as Chair,” he said. “I’m extremely proud of the work this Commission has already done together. Over the past several years, this body has made meaningful improvements in how we deliberate, how we engage the public, and how we approach our responsibility to provide fair, consistent and transparent utility regulation. Those improvements did not happen by accident. They are the result of serious effort by commissioners, dedicated staff, and legal counsel who care deeply about getting this work right.”
Myers outlined his intention to maintain stability at the commission while making incremental changes where needed. “As Chair, my primary goal is continuity. Continuing what is working well, while making thoughtful, incremental improvements where they are needed. I believe strongly that stability and professionalism are strengths of this institution, especially at a time when utility issues are becoming more complex and more consequential,” he added.
He also thanked other commissioners and staff for their dedication: “I want to thank my fellow commissioners for your professionalism and your willingness to work through difficult issues. I also want to thank our staff and counsel for their expertise, patience, and dedication to public service,” said Myers. “I look forward to working with all of you to build on the progress we’ve made under the leadership of Chair Thompson and prior chairs and to guide this Commission with fairness, transparency, and respect for the people we serve. Thank you again for the trust you’ve placed in me. I’m honored to serve.”
