Nebraska Public Service Commissioner Landis retiring after 30 years
After 30 years of service, Nebraska Public Service Commissioner Frank Landis has retired from representing District 1, ending his tenure as the longest-serving Public Utility Commissioner in the country.
Landis is a Republican, a resident of Lincoln, Nebraska, and was first elected to his current position in 1988. Since then, he has gone on to serve five, six-year terms, which followed a nearly 33-year service with the Nebraska Air National Guard. While on the Commission, he also served on a variety of boards and task forces, including the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners and the Mid-America Regulatory Conference.
“For three decades Frank has been a true public servant for the people of Nebraska,” Commission Chair Mary Ridder said. “Not only has he helped guide and manage multi-million dollar funds, he has worked tirelessly with the industries we regulate to build strong relationships ensuring our citizens receive the quality services they deserve.”
Incoming Commissioner Dan Watermeier will replace Landis.
