Ivey Names State Legislator to Head Alabama Public Service Commission
Governor Kay Ivey named state Representative Cynthia Lee Almond of Tuscaloosa to lead the Alabama Public Service Commission on Friday.
This appointment follows Twinkle Cavanaugh resigning last week to take a federal role with the USDA under the Trump administration.
Almond, an attorney and Republican legislator since 2021, will vacate her House seat on June 15 and be sworn in as PSC president on June 16.
Ivey praised Almond as an effective public servant who has done real, meaningful legislative work since 2021, saying her leadership will benefit all Alabamians.
Almond will lead the three-person commission responsible for regulating Alabama's utilities, including rate setting, signaling continuity after Cavanaugh's departure.
