In the last year, the Mississippi Public Service Commission has received approximately 22,132 complaints from consumers in the Central District regarding unsolicited telemarketing calls. Mississippians are fed up with robocalls, and, as your Commissioner, I am committed to working with phone companies, industry leaders, and stakeholders to cease these unwanted calls. Additionally, I believe consumers should have the ability to choose and invest in alternative energy technologies and easily interconnect without burdensome regulatory barriers and without sacrificing safety and reliability.

Thank you again for allowing me to serve you in this capacity. I am truly honored to be your Public Service Commissioner. I value your feedback and would like to hear from you. Please contact me or my staff with any questions, comments, or issues that are important to you. Collectively and individually, we will make sure that consumers are being treated fairly, have a voice at the Mississippi Public Service Commission and that your interests are being served. I look forward to providing you with any assistance you may need.
