Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Arizona Corporation Commission?
The Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) is one of the most powerful elected bodies in the state — and most people don’t even know what it is. The ACC regulates your electricity and water bills, approves or denies utility rate hikes, oversees energy policy, and influences how much you pay each month for basic services. It also regulates corporations, pipeline safety, and securities fraud in Arizona.
In short: the ACC can raise or lower your bills, control your energy options, and shape Arizona’s economic future.
Why is the Corporation Commission so important in 2026?
Arizona families are already paying too much for basic services — and special interests are pushing policies that put radical environmental ideology ahead of affordability and reliability. The 2026 election will decide whether we fall down that path or fight back with common sense leadership.
With power demand rising, water rights under pressure, and ESG politics creeping into Arizona’s infrastructure, the Corporation Commission is where freedom meets the front lines.
Who are David Marshall Sr. and Dr. Ralph Heap?
David Marshall Sr. is a U.S. Air Force veteran, retired police officer, pastor, and conservative state legislator from Snowflake. Dr. Ralph Heap is a fourth-generation Arizonan, orthopedic surgeon, pastor, medical missionary, and fellow conservative lawmaker. Both are proven, principled leaders who serve with humility, integrity, and boldness.
They are running together to restore accountability, fight rate hikes, oppose ESG mandates, and put Arizona ratepayers first.
What are “ESG mandates,” and why do they matter?
ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance — a political scoring system used by corporations, banks, and now some regulators to push woke agendas. These mandates often prioritize global climate goals over local economic realities, and they can lead to forced green energy transitions, higher rates, and restricted access to water or gas.
Marshall and Heap believe Arizona’s energy and water policies should be made by Arizonans — not by out-of-state activists or Wall Street consultants.
What does the Corporation Commission have to do with my monthly bills?
Almost everything. When your electricity or water bill goes up, it’s often because the Corporation Commission approved a rate increase from your utility provider. Marshall and Heap will fight for transparency in billing, fairness for families, and policies that protect your wallet — not grow government.
