All eyes on Georgia Public Service Commission race as power bills climb

Update: 2025-10-17

Description

Two Republicans who sit on Georgia's Public Service Commission -- Tim Echols of District 2 and Fitz Johnson of District 3 — are being challenged by Democratic candidates Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard.

It's a race that has gone under the radar: until now.

All five seats are currently held by Republicans. So Democrats are stumping loudly about utility affordability

Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson and Republican strategist Brian Robinson stress with host Lisa Rayam how voters need to pay attention: and turn out for race that ultimately affects their households.
