As you may be aware, incumbent PSC Commissioner David Burgess (D) is facing Republican challenger Chuck Eaton in a runoff election on December 5th. Appointed by Gov. Roy Barnes in 1999, Burgess is the ONLY Democrat remaining on the 5-member PSC. Eaton's campaign has been well-funded by key Republicans and special interests.
We all know that runoff elections have very, very low turnout...especially with no other key races in play. Although Dem performance in GA in the November elections was less than stellar, this is one race we can impact significantly with TURNOUT. Your vote and the vote of your Democratic and progressive friends CAN make a difference. If you are reading this and DON"T live in GA, please email the link to your GA friends and family.
More on the flip:
The PSC regulates utilities and the rates you are charged for your utility bills...please help ensure that the Georgia PSC does not become another solid Republican corporate handout agency. DAVID BURGESS needs your support to win.
