MONUMENTAL ELECTION EARTHQUAKE IN ARIZONA TONIGHT: Consumer advocates & clean energy candidates defeated Turning Point USA in a huge utility election and FLIPPED the majority of the utility board. SRP will be the largest utility in the country with a clean energy majority. 🧵
TPUSA pumped in an unprecedented amount of money into the election — no one in Arizona had ever seen anything like it before. Still, voters came out in droves against TPUSA. Turnout was more than 400% of 2024 turnout.
What’s even more wild is that SRP (which serves more than 1 million Arizonans) uses acreage-based voting: the more land you own = the more votes you win. Stacks the deck in favor of large landowners and against the little guy. Renters aren’t even eligible to vote.
Despite this very uphill terrain, the clean energy candidates & consumer advocates won — and won big.
After the massive Democratic victories we’ve seen across the country, the blue wave has now hit Arizona. Just wait until November: TPUSA is going to get crushed at the ballot box. Mark my words.
