Eight qualify to fill two Georgia Public Service Commission seats in long overdue election
ATLANTA - This year's long-delayed elections for two seats on the Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC) have drawn eight candidates, including the two incumbents.
The three-day qualifying period ended Thursday with District 2 Commissioner Tim Echols and District 3 Commissioner Fitz Johnson, both Republicans, signing up to run for reelection.
Echols will be opposed in a June 17 GOP primary by Lee Muns, who ran unsuccessfully for a seat on the Columbia County Commission in 2018. The winner will face Democrat Alicia Johnson of Augusta in November.
In District 3, Johnson is unopposed on the Republican side. Four Democrats will square off in the June primary for their party's nomination to challenge the incumbent.
