Fedorchak to seek re-election

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota Public Service Commissioner Julie Fedorchak says she will seek re-election.

Gov. Jack Dalrymple appointed Fedorchak to the PSC in 2012, after the seat had been vacated by Republican Kevin Cramer who was elected to the U.S. House.

Fedorchak won an elected seat on the PSC in 2014. She has served as the panel’s president for the past year.

The PSC permits and regulates power plants, pipelines, utilities and a number of other businesses in the state.
