For Immediate Release:

    Raleigh, NC     Governor Pat McCrory has reappointed Ed Finley as chairman of the North Carolina Utilities Commission.

    "Ed brings vast experience and a wealth of knowledge on issues relating to the utility industry and our economy," said Governor McCrory. "I appreciate Ed's willingness to continue in this leadership role and I look forward to working with him in the future."

    Finley has served as chairman since 2007 when he was appointed to an unexpired term by Governor Mike Easley. Governor Beverly Perdue reappointed Finley chairman in 2009 to a term that expires on June 30. Governor McCrory's reappointment will keep Finley chair on the commission until 2017.

    Prior to his service on the utilities commission, Finley practiced law with the Raleigh firm Hunton & Williams. His speciality was public utility regulation.

    Finley lives in Wake County with his wife Ginger and their two sons.

    Governor McCrory would also like to congratulate Representative Jerry Dockham of Davidson County and James Patterson of Guilford County, two new members of the commission who were just approved by joint resolution in the General Assembly.
