Georgia utility commission races test party loyalty after recent power bill hikes
The Georgia Public Service Commission race is testing party loyalty as voters prioritize concerns over recent power bill hikes and data center growth. A Republican voter, Nancy Lubeck, supports Democratic candidates for the commission due to dissatisfaction with rate increases and infrastructure decisions favoring data centers. Republicans currently hold a 3-2 majority, but Democrats aim to flip control in the November election.
