Governor Kay Ivey on Friday announced she is tapping State Rep. Cynthia Almond (R-Tuscaloosa) to serve as president of the Public Service Commission.

The appointment fills the seat previously held by Twinkle Cavanaugh, who has taken a role with the Trump administration.

“Cynthia has proven to be an extremely effective public servant and leader, and I am confident the people of Alabama will be even better served when she takes the helm at the Public Service Commission,” Ivey said. “Since 2021, I have been able to count on Cynthia to get real, meaningful work done in the Legislature, and while I know the people of Tuscaloosa will miss her representation in the State House, every person across this state will now benefit from her leadership on the Public Service Commission.”
