Rate hearing
Alabama families are working hard, but many are feeling squeezed by rising utility costs. The people deserve the opportunity to be heard in a full, open, and transparent rate hearing. That’s how accountability works. When I’m elected as the next PSC Commissioner, I will call for a public rate hearing as the first order of business.
Elected commission
I do not support efforts to remove Public Service Commissioners from being elected by the people. The PSC belongs to the citizens of Alabama, not political insiders.
Matt Gentry is not a current member of Congress, so there is no congressional roll-call record to show. State legislative or local records are not yet compiled.
Only criminal charges, convictions, civil judgments, ethics findings, official censures and open official ethics investigations (House or Senate Ethics Committee, Office of Congressional Conduct, or a state ethics commission), from official records or at least two independent mainstream news outlets. An open investigation is not a finding. Civil suits without a judgment and complaints with no official investigation are not listed.
No records found in sources checked (as of Oct 21, 2026).
