FERC Commissioner Lindsay S. See’s Statement on the Resignation of Commissioner Willie L. Phillips

“It has been an honor to serve alongside Willie Phillips. His steady leadership, thoughtful approach to complex issues, and commitment to collaboration made him a strong colleague. He was one of the first to reach out after my nomination, and I have been grateful for his warm welcome and the steady example he sets as a public servant.

“I appreciated his excellent leadership as Chairman and his dedication to aligning the Commission’s mission with today’s energy needs. His efforts made a meaningful and lasting contribution to the Commission’s work.

“It has been a pleasure to work with him on a wide range of important and challenging issues before the Commission—not only when we agreed but also in the (very few) cases where we did not. I deeply appreciate his collegiality and good faith, and will miss having him as a colleague. I wish him great success as he embarks on the next chapter of his career."
