In a surprising turn of events, Democratic candidates Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard have successfully defeated incumbent Republicans in the highly contested Georgia Public Service Commission races. This historic victory not only flips two key seats but also signifies a potential shift in political power in the state, with implications for Georgia Power bills and utility regulation. Voter turnout surged as local issues, including rising electricity and gas rates, drove many to the polls. The outcomes are seen as a bellwether for the upcoming 2026 midterms and reflect a growing trend of Democratic strength in statewide elections.
