Democrats Break 25-Year Losing Streak in Georgia’s Historic Election

In a historic win for the Democratic Party, Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard have been elected to the Georgia Public Service Commission. This marks the first time Democrats have won a statewide race in Georgia since 1998. The Public Service Commission oversees the state's utilities.

Hubbard defeated Fitz Hubbard, who was appointed by Gov. Brian Kemp in 2021. Johnson unseated Tim Echols, who had served on the commission since 2011. Echols conceded the race during a live broadcast on X around 8:30 p.m., with Johnson and Hubbard leading 60% to 40%.

The Democratic National Party attributed the victory to focusing on lowering costs. The other three members of the commission remain Republicans. The Georgia Conservation Voters Action Fund poured $2.2 million into the campaigns for Johnson and Hubbard.
