Connecticut’s utility giants are waging an all-out war against accountability, and they’re targeting the one person standing in their way: PURA Chair Marissa Gillett. They’ve filed excessive complaints, questioned her ethics without merit, and launched a lawsuit against PURA, all to scare the legislature into pushing her out.

We know exactly why they’re doing this: because she’s doing her job. For the first time in decades, we have a regulator who puts consumers and clean energy ahead of corporate profits, and the utilities will stop at nothing to maintain their monopoly on power—literally and politically. If they succeed in bullying the legislature into removing Gillett, it will send a chilling message: PURA is a toothless agency, and no one who wants to do the job right will step up in the future.

Marissa Gillett has been a fierce advocate for Connecticut ratepayers. She's held utility companies accountable, promoted clean and affordable energy, and stood up for everyday people in the fight for energy justice. Right now, her reappointment as Chair of the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority is in the hands of the Connecticut General Assembly. We need your voice to make sure she stays in this vital role.

This vote could happen at any moment. Let’s make sure our lawmakers hear us loud and clear: Reappoint Marissa Gillett. Our energy future depends on it!

UPDATE! On 4/9, the House voted 91 to 52 to reappoint Gillett as chair of PURA. Now it's on to the Senate! Please send your message today.
