North Miami – State Representative Ronald Brisé of North Miami today became one of the newly appointed Commissioners on the Florida Public Service Commission, and the state’s first PSC member of Haitian-American descent. This afternoon, Governor Charlie Crist announced appointments for two of the four vacant seats.
Representative Brisé issued the following statement:
“I am humbled and grateful for this unique opportunity to serve the great people of Florida in this new capacity. I thank Governor Crist and the PSC Nominating Council for doing their due diligence in conducting a fair and thorough review. I applied for this position because I think my combined experience within the telecom industry and the Florida Legislature will allow me to work in a fair manner to the benefit of the public good.
State Rep. Ronald Brisé
“While I have gained valuable information about our state’s diverse population and unique utility structure in the Legislature, I understand that my role and duties will change drastically – from legislative to regulatory. Regardless, I intend to regulate with the same traits that have helped me to become a well-respected public servant: integrity, sound judgment, and sensitivity to all parties.”
Representative Ronald Brisé was elected to represent District 108 in the Florida House of Representatives in 2006 at the age of 32 and subsequently re-elected without opposition. He served as Democratic Whip during his first term, 2006-2008. He also served as Vice Chair of the Florida Conference of Black State Legislators. Rep. Brisé’s knowledge of utilities stems from his work at an international telecommunications carrier based in Miami.
Rep. Brisé also served as the ranking Democratic Member on the Utilities & Telecommunications Committee. Representative Brisé is a faithful member and elder of Tabernacle S.D.A. Church and is married to Jo An Solomon Brisé, a registered nurse, and they are proud parents of their 4-yeard old son Ronald Brisé II.
