Defend Rural Arizona’s Energy and Water Access

David Marshall Sr. and Dr. Ralph Heap will ensure rural Arizona receives fair treatment from the ACC by advocating for targeted infrastructure investments to improve water and power reliability without imposing excessive rate hikes. Drawing on Heap’s experience serving underserved communities through medical missions and Marshall’s commitment to fiscal responsibility, they will push for streamlined regulations that empower rural cooperatives and small utilities to deliver affordable, reliable services. They will also promote innovative solutions, such as localized solar projects, to enhance energy independence for rural areas while keeping costs low.
