So far, 5 candidates vying for Public Service Commission seat
The race for Public Service Commission is getting a lot of interest.
Five people have announced their candidacy for the seat that represents southwest Montana, now held by commissioner Roger Koopman, a Bozeman Republican, who is termed out.
Alan George, a Montana State University associate professor of mechanical and industrial engineering, is running as a technical expert. The Republican’s professional work has focused on thermodynamics, heat transfer and fluid mechanics, which, he said, are relevant to the energy regulation the PSC does.
