Georgia Conservation Voters Public Service Commission Primary Runoff Endorsement
Georgia Conservation Voters (GCV) endorses Peter Hubbard in the Special Primary Runoff Election for Public Service Commission (PSC) District 3. Peter’s professional history in the energy and utility industry and expertise in the market forces that shape it make him an ideal candidate for the PSC. Specific aspects of Peter’s background that impressed our staff and members of our Political Committee include:
- Peter’s interventions for working people who need real bill relief in the long-term plans of companies and utilities across the country – including four times at the Georgia Public Service Commission, as well as Indiana, New Mexico, Florida, Tennessee, & Puerto Rico.
- Peter’s work developing solar and storage projects in states with similar regulatory environments, such as Texas and Louisiana, shows that he’s not new to our environment.
- Peter’s understanding of how companies rig the game by hiding the devil in the details, like how Georgia Power’s modeling tends to be biased toward massive construction projects, where customers end up footing the bill, demonstrates the kind of strategic thinker that could benefit Georgians.
“Georgians need real solutions to rising utility bills,” said GCV Political Director Connie Di Cicco. “Right now, a corporate monopoly runs the game, and its decisions drive up costs for everyone—including those served by cooperatives and municipal utilities. Voters had several strong candidates in this primary, but Peter’s experience and practical approach make him the best choice to help lower energy bills and give Georgia families some much-needed relief.”
Other endorsements for Hubbard include: Former NAACP President Richard Rose, State Senator Nan Orrock, Peach County Commissioner Shanita Wilkerson Howell, Dekalb CEO Lorraine Cochran-Johnson, and Rep. Jasmine Clark.
Voting for the Runoff starts today, and the election is held on July 15th. GCV encourages everyone who cares about low bills and safe energy to use their vote to influence this critical election.
