      • Nick Myers is an American politician who serves on the Arizona Corporation Commission, first being elected in the 2022 election. Prior to serving in the commission, Myers worked as a software engineer for Intel and various satellite communication companies, before starting his own small businesses.


      Early life, education & career


      Myers was born in Kansas, and graduated from the University of Kansas. After graduating, he worked as a software engineer for Intel, as well as several other satellite communications companies, for about 18 years. Following this, he started his own small businesses which ranged from running a train service for children's birthday parties to hauling water to rural residents, as well as dog boarding.


      Political career


      Myers began his political career as a policy advisor to Justin Olson, whom he would later succeed as a member of the Arizona Corporation Commission. Myers ran for the Arizona House of Representatives in 2018, but placed in a distant fourth in Republican primary, losing to Warren Petersen and Travis Grantham, and another candidate.
      In 2016, Myers filed a complaint with the Arizona Corporation Commission, after his water-hauling business had been cut off by Johnson Utilities, a water utility company in the Phoenix area. The complaint eventually led to the restoration of Myers's services.
      In 2022, Myers ran again for public office, alongside Kevin Thompson as the Republican slate for the two open seats on the Arizona Corporation Commission. Along with Thompson, he defeated incumbent Commissioner Sandra Kennedy in the general election, as well as Lauren Kuby, both of whom ran as Democrats. During his time as commissioner, Myers has opposed clean energy mandates, and solar subsidies, stating that the solar industry "should stand on its own two feet."


      Personal life


      Myers lives with his wife and three children in Pinal County, Arizona.
