The Center for Progressive Reform consists of a full-time staff and more than 60 Member Scholars who volunteer their time to support and provide independent policy research, advocacy, congressional testimony, legal insight and analysis, and more.
Our Scholars represent dozens of colleges and universities in every region of the country. They live and work in big cities and small towns, on the coasts and in the heartland, and in about half the states — including blue, purple, and red ones.
Alexandra Klass is the James G. Degnan Professor of Law at the University of Michigan Law School, and she served in the Biden-Harris administration as Deputy General Counsel for Energy Efficiency and Clean Energy Demonstrations at the U.S. Department of Energy. Professor Klass’s scholarship and teaching centers on energy law, environmental law, natural resources law, tort law, and property law. Along with fellow Member Scholars Shelley Welton and Hannah Wiseman, she co-authored a March 2024 paper on modernizing governance as a key to boosting electric grid reliability, along with a related Utility Dive op-ed. She was also one of the featured panelists on the Center’s October 2024 webinar, “Rising to the Challenge: How State Public Utilities Commissions Can Advance Clean Energy and Energy Justice.”
