Whereas, she was elected to the First Congressional District seat on the Public Service Commission (PSC) by unanimous vote of the General Assembly in 1980; and

Whereas, Mrs. Frazier's election to the PSC marked the first time that an African-American, female, or non-legislator was so elected; and

Whereas, Mrs. Frazier served continuously on the PSC until her recent retirement, highlighted by a two-year term as chairperson from July 1990 until July 1992; and
