Expand all | Collapse all

Dr. Alicia M. Johnson is a visionary leader with nearly 30 years of experience transforming communities through human services, healthcare, and economic development. A Savannah native, she has led high-impact initiatives that have helped over 10,000 Georgia households access employment, public benefits, and financial literacy. She holds advanced degrees in communications and organizational leadership, and has served in key roles across nonprofits, public agencies, and the private sector.
  • Transparency & Accountability: Alicia pledges to restore trust through ethical leadership. She believes public service should be guided by integrity, not personal ambition. Alicia will push for accountability in PSC decisions, bring transparency to rate-setting, and honor the trust Georgians place in their leaders.
  • Champion for Fair Rates & Renewable Energy: Utility costs are out of control—and the PSC keeps approving the hikes. Under Echols’ watch, Georgians have paid billions more for dirty, outdated energy. Alicia will fight to rein in unjust rate increases, advocate for ratepayer protections, and push for a bold investment in clean, affordable energy solutions like solar and wind.
  • Community-First Leadership: Born and raised in Georgia, Alicia knows our communities deserve more than broken promises. She’s led initiatives that brought jobs, education, and healthcare to underserved areas—and she’s ready to do the same at the PSC. Alicia will fight to ensure rural communities and historically marginalized neighborhoods aren’t left behind in the energy transition.
Alicia is also a lifelong community advocate, serving on numerous boards and task forces focused on racial equity, public accountability, and economic opportunity. A wife, mother, and grandmother, she brings a deep commitment to family, faith, and service—values that guide her campaign for the Georgia Public Service Commission.
Georgia Power is one of the most powerful entities in Georgia. The Public Service Commission is vital as a way for the people of the state to hold them directly accountable to the citizens of our state.
As Georgia Managing Principal at Health Management Associates, Alicia drives strategy on national projects focused on equity, efficiency, and sustainable development. Her leadership has earned her national recognition, including being named a Bank of America Racial Economic Justice Fellow and a National League of Cities Southern City Leader. This experience in people-focused leadership is what Alicia is most excited to bring to the PSC.
Sierra Club.
Georgia Conservation Voters.

Campaign website

Johnson's campaign website stated the following:

“

Transparency & Accountability

While Commissioner Tim Echols quietly extended his term well beyond its intended limit, Alicia pledges to restore trust through ethical leadership. She believes public service should be guided by integrity, not personal ambition. Alicia will push for accountability in PSC decisions, bring transparency to rate-setting, and honor the trust Georgians place in their leaders.

  • Will uphold term limits and ethical standards
  • Committed to transparent decision-making
  • Public service is a responsibility, not a lifetime seat

Champion for Fair Rates & Renewable Energy

Utility costs are out of control—and the PSC keeps approving the hikes. Under Echols’ watch, Georgians have paid billions more for dirty, outdated energy. Alicia will fight to rein in unjust rate increases, advocate for ratepayer protections, and push for a bold investment in clean, affordable energy solutions like solar and wind.

  • Will fight unchecked rate hikes that hurt working families
  • Supports transitioning to clean, cost-effective energy
  • Committed to protecting consumers, not utility monopolies

Community-First Leadership

Born and raised in Georgia, Alicia knows our communities deserve more than broken promises. She’s led initiatives that brought jobs, education, and healthcare to underserved areas—and she’s ready to do the same at the PSC. Alicia will fight to ensure rural communities and historically marginalized neighborhoods aren’t left behind in the energy transition.

  • Georgia native with deep community ties
  • Track record of serving underserved and rural areas
  • Believes every voice deserves power—literally and politically
