SUMMARY:Jonathon Hill\, candidate for ACC at DGT
DESCRIPTION:by Carolyn Classen\, blogger \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Please join us for a lively discussion and Q&A with Jonathon Hill about his campaign for Arizona Corporation Commission and the latest news in corporate and utility regulation on Monday\, June 15\, at 12:00 p.m. Arizona time via Zoom. \n\n\n\nYou Must Register in Advance for This Event:\n\n\n\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/UmXcdFgXREivf3J_RuPbQA\n\n\n\nJonathon brings a unique perspective to the Commission\, drawing from an unconventional yet highly relevant background. He is neither a politician nor a businessman—he is a scientist\, an engineer\, and a proud Arizonan. Jonathon has spent the past 18 years at Arizona State University\, working on several NASA space missions focused on Mars\, Jupiter\, and asteroids. He has earned a master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering and a Ph.D. in Geological Sciences\, both from ASU. \n\n\n\nJonathon’s extensive engineering experience gives him a deep understanding of the challenges facing our power generation and water distribution infrastructure. His expertise in geology is particularly valuable for addressing groundwater management issues\, especially in rural communities where it is crucial. Jonathon’s goal is to leverage his engineering and scientific expertise to advocate for you\, ensuring that hardworking Arizonans are protected from unnecessary and excessive rate hikes.” \n\n\n\nCarolyn’s note:  Jonathon is running for one of two seats on the Az Corporation Commission. He ran for this seat previously in Nov. 2024. The other Dem running for ACC is Clara Pratte\, who spoke at DGT on June 1st. They will face off with the Republican nominees in the General Election on Nov. 3\, 2026.

She has investigated anti-trans pseudoscience\, hate groups\, incarceration and more at Uncloseted\, and has written about student activism\, housing and video games for Washington Square News\, City Limits and The A.V. Club\, respectively. Her work has been picked up by local outlets in seven states as well as by long-running publications like GAY TIMES and The Washington Blade. Read Hope’s work here.  \n\n\n\nJohn Washington is a staff writer at Lookout\, where he covers the border and immigration as well as the statehouse. He is also an award-winning translator and author. His latest book\, How to Close a Camp: Dispatches from the Fight Against Immigrant Detention\, will be published by Haymarket Books in July 2026.
