2 Democrats face runoff in Georgia Public Service Commission primary

(Atlanta Journal-Constitution) Two Democratic candidates vying for a metro Atlanta district seat on Georgia’s Public Service Commission are headed to a July runoff election.

Former Atlanta City Council member Keisha Sean Waites claimed 46% of the vote Tuesday in a three-way primary, and Peter Hubbard, chief executive of Georgia Center for Energy Solutions, came in second with 33%. Democratic candidate Robert Jones trailed behind with 21% of the vote, according to results posted by the Secretary of State’s Office.

Since no candidate cleared the 50% bar required to win, the top two finishers — Waites and Hubbard — will face off in a runoff election July 15.
