Linda joined Fresh Energy as the Clean Energy Director in October 2008 to advance clean energy policy and regulation, and influence the public discourse on energy issues in Minnesota and the Midwest. She has worked in energy as an attorney and analyst for the Minnesota House of Representatives Research Department, as the Deputy Commissioner for Energy at the Minnesota Commerce Department, and as a consultant in energy and environmental law and policy. She believes the future is bright with the potential for energy to lead the way to a restructured economy, a healthier natural environment, a more stable and livable worldwide climate, and a more equitable delivery of energy services and sharing of energy burdens. Outside of her work on energy, Linda sings with the Well-Intentioned Harmonists, weaves, bikes, and travels. She holds a JD from the University of MN Law School and a LL.M. in Natural Resources and Environmental Law from NW School of Law, Lewis & Clark College as a Bush Foundation Leadership Fellow. Linda is currently an election judge and a bicycle traffic monitor.
