IN HER FIRST TERM on THE COMMISSION, FIELDER RESTORED GOOD GOVERNANCE, EXPANDED CONSUMER CHOICE, INCREASED SERVICE QUALITY & SAVED MONTANANS MILLIONS.

An elected official for the past 12 years, Jennifer is the current Vice President of the Montana Public Service Commission (PSC) and a former Montana State Senator. Since being elected to the PSC in 2020, Jennifer has executed numerous complex regulatory cases that improved service quality, expanded consumer choice, and saved Montanans more than $35 million dollars (scroll down for docket details).  She also took on crucial extra duties to lead the state agency's strategic planning, technology modernization, and internal policy reforms that improved public access to Commission business and resulted in a remarkable turn-around at the once beleaguered agency. 

In 2023, Fielder was unanimously elected by fellow Commissioners as the Commission Vice President and later that year the PSC received its best fiscal audit in a decade. Plus, for 3 straight years now, the PSC earned 100% perfect scores on all of its audits from the federal Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA ). 

Jennifer's policy strengths include public lands, forestry, energy, environment, wildlife, and natural resources. She is an avid outdoorswoman and experienced administrator who has successfully implemented higher standards of conduct, order, and performance in public and private sector organizations over her 30+ year career. She has become a nationally recognized leader in the quest for responsible, beneficial use and care of public lands as CEO of the American Lands Council. Most of her work has been within the private sector although her background includes oversight of multiple public agencies and extensive governmental interactions as a planner/project manager, stewardship practitioner, hunter, angler, and elected representative of the rural west. She and her husband Paul, who is a State Representative, reside in beautiful Northwest Montana.
