JACKSON, Wyo. — Two local candidates, Max Moran and Victoria Lee, are in the running for a seat on Lower Valley Energy’s (LVE) Board of Directors. Moran and Lee are both in the race for District 6 challenging incumbent Scott Anderson.
Anderson has served on LVE’s Board of Directors since October 2017 when he replaced Peter Cook, who resigned in August of the same year. Anderson is a broadcaster and manages KMTN, KSGT, KZJH and KJAX along with other radio stations in Wyoming.
One of Anderson’s challengers is Max Moran, a professional civil engineer specializing in energy optimization. Moran is running to achieve clean, consistent and cheap power for Jackson residents.
Also in the race is Victoria Lee, an occupational therapist with Teton County School District. Lee has been a co-op member of LVE since 2019 and has lived in Jackson for five years. Lee wants to bring “more new ideas to the table that will help continue the forward-thinking that LVE already displays.”
According to Lower Valley Energy, District 6 comprises the western portion of the Town of Jackson with Cache Street defining the eastern boundary. The southern boundary is WY22 with the Snake River being the western border. Zenith Drive serves as the northern boundary and includes the Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis Club.
Two other districts, 1 and 7, were also up for reelection this year. Board members in those districts are running unopposed.
Ballots were mailed to bill-paying members last week and must be returned by mail before the June 29 Annual Meeting.
The Lower Valley Energy Annual Meeting will be held at 6 p.m. on Thursday, June 29, at the Lower Valley Energy office in Jackson. Registration begins at 5:30 p.m.
LVE is a local energy cooperative in northwest Wyoming and southeast Idaho. The co-op serves electricity and natural gas to Jackson’s surrounding communities.
