The parent company of the state’s largest electric utility entered the Arizona Corporation Commission race, funding an outside group to support three Republican candidates for the regulatory body.
The Arizona Coalition for Reliable Electricity, an independent expenditure committee filed with the Secretary of State’s office on Oct. 21, will report receiving $1 million from Pinnacle West Capital Corp., the parent company of Arizona Public Service, the IE’s spokesman, Matthew Benson, told the Arizona Capitol Times.
Benson said the group will be spending money to help elect GOP candidates Bob Burns, Boyd Dunn and Andy Tobin.
