For now, Scheel’s keeping the public in the dark on the energy plan’s details. The potential campaign has made no formal announcement. Scheel wouldn’t say what, precisely, the initiative would cover or who’s backing it.
Phoenix New Times received tips that a possible energy initiative was on the works and made a few inquiries among people who might know such things. New Times contacted Democratic organizer Tom Reade, who helped in 2016 with the planned Yes on AZ Solar initiative. Reade said Javelin was handling PR for the effort.
