Join us on Wednesday, May 24, for the Public Utilities Law Section's
2016-17 Annual Meeting and Lunch with the Commissioners, including a presentation
by the State of Minnesota’s most-recently appointed Public
Utilities Commissioner, Katie Sieben.
Katie Sieben was appointed to the Minnesota Public
Utilities Commission by Governor Mark Dayton, effective January 23, 2017.
Commissioner Sieben is a member of the National Association of Regulatory
Utility Commissioners (NARUC) where she serves on the NARUC Committee on Gas and
the NARUC committee on Consumer Affairs. She is also a member of the Mid-America
Regulatory Conference.
Commissioner Sieben was first elected to the
Minnesota State Senate in 2006, representing District 54, which includes
portions of southern Washington and Dakota counties.
While in the
Senate, Sieben served on the Energy and Environment, Capital Investment, Rules,
and Transportation committees and chaired the Elections subcommittee. Sieben was
a consistent champion of clean air and water, sponsoring laws to monitor and
improve the quality of the St. Croix and Mississippi Rivers. Sieben’s reputation
for being a fair and effective legislator led to her being elected by her caucus
to serve as the Assistant Majority Leader in the Minnesota Senate in 2012.
Commissioner Sieben has served as a community faculty member and
adjunct professor at Metropolitan State University’s Masters in Advocacy and
Public Leadership Program. Previously, she was elected to two terms in the
Minnesota House of Representatives.
Commissioner Sieben earned her
B.A. from Colorado College, was a Policy Fellow at the Hubert H. Humphrey
Institute of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota, and earned a Master
degree in Public Administration from the Harvard Kennedy School. Sieben lives
with her husband, Josh Straka, and three children in Cottage
Grove.
