Lyon County Judge-Executive Wade White is one step closer to being named to the federal Tennessee Valley Authority Board of Directors.
According to a news release from U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell’s Office, the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment & Public Works voted to approve the nomination of White to the board and he nomination of Judge White now goes to the full Senate for consideration.
Senator McConnell says, “The 215,000 Kentucky households that rely on TVA for their everyday power needs deserve a representative who understands the importance of affordable, reliable power. As proven by his successful tenure as Lyon County Judge-Executive, Wade is just that leader. I look forward to the full Senate approving this highly qualified nominee and adding a commonsense, Kentucky perspective to the TVA Board.”
