Georgia is holding a special election for two of five seats on the Georgia Public Service Commission on November 4, 2025. The primary was held on June 17, 2025, and a primary runoff was held on July 15, 2025. A general runoff (if necessary) will be held on December 2, 2025.
The Georgia Public Service Commission regulates the state's utility services, such as electricity, phones, and gas.[1][2] While the position is elected statewide, candidates must live in the district they are running in.[3]
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Mark Niesse wrote that this was the first election "following three years of canceled races and a court battle over the legality of statewide voting that has elected only one Black candidate to the board."[4] To read more about the lawsuits that caused the cancellation, click here.
Incumbent Tim Echols (R) and Alicia Johnson (D) are running in District 2, which covers the eastern part of the state and includes the cities of Athens and Savannah. Echols was first elected in 2010.[5] In his response to Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey, Echols wrote he wanted Echols wrote he wanted a "Moratorium on Rate Increases," "More Smart and Clean Energy," and "additional nuclear reactors to replace aging coal plants."[6] Johnson is a nurse. In her response to Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey, Johnson wrote she would “push for accountability in PSC decisions," "Champion for Fair Rates & Renewable Energy," and "fight to ensure rural communities and historically marginalized neighborhoods aren’t left behind in the energy transition."[7]
Incumbent Fitz Johnson (R) and Peter Hubbard (D) are running in District 3, which covers much of the Atlanta metropolitan area, including Fulton County and DeKalb County. Governor Brian Kemp (R) appointed Johnson to the commission in 2021.[8] In a statement, Johnson said he was "committed to keeping energy reliable, affordable, and grounded in conservative principles.”[9] Hubbard has worked in renewable energy development. In his responses to Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey, Hubbard wrote that he wanted to “stop the increase in power bills," "shine sunlight on bad deals," "enact policies and create a plan that lowers energy costs, reduces emissions, and increases reliability for Georgia’s power grid."[10]
Bolts Magazine's Camille Squires wrote that turnout from other down-ballot elections could help Democrats: "turnout may be helped by the fact that there will be municipal elections on the ballot in some places, including the mayoral race in Atlanta... [the Democratic candidates] will need very heavy support in the Atlanta region."[11] University of Georgia Prof. Charles Bullock says that Republicans will have the advantage of incumbency and partisan dynamics: "Georgia is still more Republican than Democratic... It also helps that once we get to the general election ballot, it’ll have the ‘I’ beside their name, indicating they are the incumbents."[1]
In all 50 states, the public service commission is a multi-member board responsible for regulating utilities. Most states' commissions have three seats, though some states have as many as seven seats.
Voters elect commissioners in 10 states, governors appoint commissioners in 38 states, and the legislature chooses commissioners in two states.

Submitted Biography: "A younger Tim Echols was selected by the Airport Rotary Club as "Student of the Year" from his high school in 1978. While at the luncheon, he met Truett Cathy, a member of the club. After the meeting, Truett invited Tim to his Hapeville office where he gave him a set of motivational tapes and a challenge. Shortly after graduating from UGA, Tim and his wife Windy founded TeenPact, a training experience for conservative high school students. The program began at the Georgia Capitol and now operates in all 50 states, having trained 115,000 students. After building TeenPact, Tim ran for and was elected to statewide office in 2010. The PSC's primary job is energy regulation. When Tim took office, Georgia was 34th in solar power. Now, the state is 7th in the nation for installed solar. In 2020, Conservatives for Clean Energy dubbed Tim the "Solar Architect of Georgia." Tim has also created the Clean Energy Roadshow that has traveled the state every summer for the past 14 years. This educational event helps commuters, businesses and municipal governments evaluate alternative fuel for their transportation and residential use. In December 2017, Tim authored the motion to keep the expansion project at Plant Vogtle moving forward. Georgia has now finished the project. Tim has lobbied for the freezing of rates after numerous increases due to the pandemic, the finishing of the reactor, and needed upgrades. That freeze has now happened."

Tim Echols (R)
More Smart and Clean Energy
Additional nuclear reactors to replace aging coal plants
Alicia Johnson (D)
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:
Tim Echols (R)
I have solar on my home and have helped Georgia move forward with a non-subsidized solar program that has made financial sense for Georgia.
I also have been at the forefront in fighting human sex trafficking. I created the "Unholy Tour" that helps policy makers see first-hand the harms of human trafficking.
Helping consumers get on rate-plans that save them money and help them use less energy is important to me too.

In regulating rates, the Commission does not guarantee profits to service providers. It is the company's responsibility to make prudent, sound business decisions to produce earnings. When regulated companies bring a rate request before the PSC, it may be taken up first by one of the Commission's standing committees on which the commissioners serve: Telecommunications, Facilities Protection, Energy, or Administrative Affairs.
Assisting the commissioners are experts on utility operations. These experts may provide testimony and make recommendations at rate, arbitration or other proceedings. To protect the public interest and to fulfill its responsibilities, the Commission may:
Conduct investigations, hearings, and gather evidence Inspect properties, books and papers of regulated companies Determine costs Make and enforce rules Issue orders to enact Commission decisions Institute judicial proceedings to enforce orders, rules and regulations.
Proceedings are open to the public.

Peter Hubbard (D)
Number 2: I will shine sunlight on bad deals. The way Georgia Republicans make energy policy for the state is secretive and it is conducted in the shadows of the PSC. In this way, the public cannot see the true costs of Georgia Power Company’s fossil fuel buildout until it hits all our power bills. What we have are energy plans that are bad for business, bad for affordable power bills, bad for fiscal conservatism, bad for national security, bad for human health, bad for climate change, and bad for Georgia. We need accountability in the Commission and that is the first thing I bring.
Number 3: I will proactively enact policies and create a plan that lowers energy costs, reduces emissions, and increases reliability for Georgia’s power grid. Residential customers of electricity in Georgia demand electricity that is cheap, clean, and always on. Republicans rubber stamp Georgia Power’s self-dealing IRPs to maximize corporate profit by increasing power bills for hardworking Georgians. That ends when I replace unelected Fitz Johnson as commissioner.
Robert Jones (D)
I will drive the growth of Georgia’s economy with secure, reliable sources of climate friendly energy at affordable prices for businesses and consumers alike, including working to have Georgia become the nation’s leader in rooftop solar energy.
I will advocate to further expand the cost-effective delivery of advanced high speed internet services to our rural and agricultural communities, and work to enable them to both access and be empowered to take advantage of emerging technologies for increasing the production yields of farming and livestock.
As the only candidate in the race with legislative and city government experience, I know how to navigate policy and deliver results. I’ve been elected before, and I’ve fought and won for everyday Georgians.
Putting People Before Profits
I will stand up to monopoly utility companies like Georgia Power and stop the pattern of unchecked rate hikes that burden working families. It’s time the Public Service Commission truly served the public.

Noteworthy events
Election lawsuits (2022-2025)
Elections for the Georgia Public Service Commission were originally supposed to be held in 2022. On August 5, 2022, United States District Court judge Steven Grimberg ruled that the Commission's use of districts for statewide elections reduced the power of black voters and that the 2022 general election should not be held using that system.[12][13] Shortly after this, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) appealed the decision, which the 11th Circuit stayed. The Supreme Court of the United States voided the stay by the 11th Circuit on August 19, 2022.[14][15]
In November 2023, the 11th Circuit ruled that Georgia could again hold at-large elections for seats on the public service commission.[16] In March 2024, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) said the elections would not be held due to challenges to the 11th Circuit's ruling.[17]
In January 2025, Judge William M. Ray II dismissed the case, allowing elections to proceed as a statewide election with districts.[18]
Past elections
The section below details election results for this office in elections dating back to 2020.
2024
Georgia was scheduled to hold an election for two of five seats on the Georgia Public Service Commission on November 5, 2024. On March 6, 2024, the office of the Georgia Secretary of State announced that the election for public service commissioners would not be held due to an ongoing lawsuit challenging the structure of elections for public service commissioner.[19]
On August 5, 2022, United States District Court judge Steven Grimberg ruled that the commission's at-large elections violated the Voting Rights Act and that the scheduled 2022 general election should not be held using that system.[12][20] Grimberg's decision was overturned by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. Subsequently, the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated Grimberg's decision in August 2022.[21] In November 2023, the 11th Circuit ruled again that Georgia can hold at-large elections for seats on the public service commission.[22] At the time of the 2024 filing deadline, the 11th Circuit ruling remained under appeal.[19]

2022
Georgia was scheduled to hold an election for two of five seats on the Georgia Public Service Commission on November 8, 2022. The general election was canceled after United States District Court judge Steven Grimberg ruled on August 5, 2022, that the Georgia Public Service Commission's at-large elections violate the Voting Rights Act and that the scheduled 2022 general election should not be held using that system. The state submitted an appeal to stay the decision until after the general election but withdrew the appeal on August 19, 2022, meaning the two races did not appear on the 2022 ballot.[12][20]
A primary was held on May 24, 2022, before the general election was canceled.
