ATLANTA — Peter Hubbard is set to move on to the general election in the race for Georgia’s Public Service Commission (PSC) after securing a lead in the Democratic runoff for the District 3 seat.
According to unofficial results from the Secretary of State’s Office, Hubbard holds a 58% to 42% advantage over opponent Keisha Waites. He will now face Republican incumbent Fitz Johnson in November.

Hubbard expressed gratitude following the win, while Waites offered her support, stating she will do what she can to help him secure victory in the general election.
