(Form on p. 11) 2 2 From the President... The PRC was created 22 years ago by voters in the 1996 election through a constitutional amendment and just barely passed, 51 percent to 49 percent. It merged two regulatory bodies that had difficult, troubled histories – the State Corporation Commission and the Public Utility Commission. One of the predecessors of the PRC --- the State Corporation Commission (SCC) -- the three commissioners were elected in state- wide elections. In the other predecessor, the Public Utility Commission (PUC), the three commissioners were appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate. The current PRC is made of 5 members-- which took over the duties of both the SCC and the PUC-- are elected one each from five separate districts. Qualification requirements for all SCC commissioners and PUC commissioner were minimal, and like its predecessors, PRC Commissioners were originally required to have no special qualifications for serving. That changed with legislation passed in 2013, which implemented a constitutional amendment that voters approved in 2012. Now anyone seeking to become a PRC Commissioner will be required to have either ten years of professional experience in an area regulated by the PRC or ten years of combined relevant education and professional experience. The 2013 law also requires that all commissioners have ethics training and take 32 hours a year of continuing education. The commission is responsible for the regulation of public utilities, transportation companies, transmission and pipeline companies, insurance companies and other public companies. Commissioners are elected to staggered four-year terms beginning January 1 following their election. The commission currently includes the following members: • District 1: Cynthia Hall (D) • District 2: Patrick Lyons (R) • District 3: Valerie Espinoza (D) • District 4: Lynda Lovejoy (D) • District 5: Sandy Jones (D - PRC Commission Chair) BOARD OF New Mexico’s Primary Election date is scheduled for June 5, 2018. The following DIRECTORS candidates have met requirements to be put on the primary election ballot: District 2 Current Commissioner Patrick Lyons is unable to run because of term limits. Officers: Democrat: Kevin Sanders Sonia Phillips, President Republican: Jefferson Byrd District 5 Ed Borchardt, Secretary Jerry Partin Democrats: Sandy Jones– Incumbent Dan Lyon, J.D., Treasurer PRC Commission Chair District 4 Steve Fischmann Directors: Democrat: Lynda Lovejoy - Incumbent Republican: Ben L.
