The coalition said in a press release Monday that former Oklahoma Republican Senator Don Nickles will also be co-chairman of the group.
People in several states have begun debating whether deregulation is such a good idea, in light of higher prices. In Texas, a few policy makers have said they worry that the state’s deregulated market could be in jeopardy, though no one has used the R-word here: Re-regulate.
The coalition also said Monday it launched an advertising campaign supporting deregulation.
