Democrats have flipped two seats on the Georgia Public Service Commission in what were seen as a key bellwether ahead of the 2026 midterms, according to Decision Desk HQ.

Democratic candidates Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard, who ran for Georgia Public Service commissioner in Districts 2 and 3, respectively, have defeated GOP incumbents Tim Echols and Fitz Johnson.

People were pissed at the all-GOP commission rubber-stamping residential rate increases for Georgia Power to subsidize electricity for data centers (and guarantee profits).

Is this the department that stops ballot counting for pipe leaks?

Are these statewide races? If not, what parts of the State are they in?

Rather than using their majorities to get stuff done, republicans have gone full corruption, led by the crypto scammer in chief.

I really don’t understand touting these seats as “bellwether” elections for the midterms. It’s such a hyper-specific office / issue. Plenty of conservatives, myself included, were fed up with the constant rate hikes and pulled the lever for democrats.

And unlike NJ voters, actually punished the party that did it.

Seen by whom?

Axios, Vox, The Atlantic, and nine political analysts in their 40’s?
