Your vote could shape Georgia's energy future: PSC seats up for election Tuesday
As early voting ends and Georgians get ready to head to the polls on Tuesday, the outcome of two little-known races could have a big impact on your monthly electricity bill.
Two seats are up for grabs on Georgia's Public Service Commission (PSC) — the state's elected body that regulates electricity, gas, and phone service. While it's not as high-profile as a governor's race or a Senate contest, the PSC's decisions directly affect how much residents pay for power and where that power comes from.
At a recent voter engagement event in Atlanta, volunteers with Georgia Interfaith Power and Light were busy sending text messages — more than 700,000 in total — encouraging Georgians to vote in Tuesday's election.
The nonprofit is nonpartisan, but it's driven by a sense of moral urgency.
