Election Day is Tuesday, June 17, 2025.

6/16/2025

 
Particularly for the Public Service Commission which approves what costs Georgia Power can transfer to its customers.
Our friend Julian Bene recommends Peter Hubbard for Public Service Commission. 
Note: this is not an endorsement, but the only information UHNA received from anyone on this election.
​

"T
he current commissioners know you’re not paying attention – that’s why they’re shifting the cost of Georgia’s rapidly growing data centers onto YOUR bill.
While you’re stuck paying $0.21 per kWh for electricity, data centers are only paying $0.05.  That’s just not fair.
The PSC has SIGNIFICANT regulatory authority and could protect residential customers like me and you, but they’re simply not doing it.  
I presented a plan to the PSC that meets all generation and reliability needs, while lowering energy costs.  You can see clips of my testimony right here: 
[He's quietly competent while eviscerating Georgia Power's greedy, planet-burner of a plan.- JB]

​
Please vote TODAY for Peter Hubbard for Public Service Commission.
It’s time we had someone on the Commission fighting for residential customers throughout GA.

Voting should only take 5 minutes.

Thank you

Urban Plan Academy for Community Leaders

Picture
Urban Plan Academy for Community Leaders is a hands-on, one-day workshop that builds participants’ understanding of the fundamental forces shaping real estate development in their communities. The course focuses on the trade-offs, challenges, and risks associated with the entitlement and negotiation processes related to land use. 

Through project-based learning, participants assume roles in a fictional city-led redevelopment project, working as part of a development team, neighborhood coalition, or public agency. The experience helps sharpen real-world skills in collaboration, compromise, and strategic thinking, all while illuminating the complex dynamics that influence what gets built and why. 

Event Details 
 Date: Saturday, June 28, 2025 
 Time: 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM 
 Location: Roosevelt Hall, Clark Atlanta University
