Bizarre enough that our Georgia Public Service Commission is partisan. A court battle affirmed the statewide election of Commissioners who represent districts. Republicans want state-wide elections because local elections would result in people electing those who they feel represent them.

Georgia Republicans say they fear local elections could help Democrats in statewide utilities race

Unique off-year election for Georgia Public Service Commission seats has Republicans worried about low turnout and potential Democratic mobilization.

More CDC Cuts :: NCHS Edition 📊🔫

At least 1/3 of the staff at the National Center for Health Statistics has been cut (and remain cut). This is catastrophic for our nation’s health data.

Say goodbye to national health statistics that you can trust, healthcare surveys, NHANES and data systems.

Current Public Service Commissioners are all too cozy with providers. Follow the money, and you see how that profits them. Vote for Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard for real accountability!

SHAME on Gov Kemp. He took campaign money from CoreCivic when its for-profit prisons were under investigation for human rights violations. Then he ignored the increasingly inhumane conditions during his entire 8-year tenure as governor. People are dying. He looks away. www.ajc.com/opinion/2025...

Under Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp’s watch, detainees are being treated inhumanely

Private prison companies have donated to Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and other Republicans. Meanwhile, conditions for inmates are poor, as demonstrated with ICE detentions.
