Fighting for you.

I'm running for statewide-elected Georgia Public Service Commission, D5 office to provide independent oversight of utility companies and to fight for lower energy bills and more green energy options for Georgia families.

$5 Today Could Lower Your Power Bills for the Next 5 Years

If we flip the PSC District 5 seat in November, which is elected statewide, we could win the first Democratic majority in 30 years.

Since PSC commissioners serve 6-year terms, that could mean stability, transparency, and lower energy bills until the District 2 seat comes up for election in 2031.

Your Questions, Answered

What is the Georgia Public Service Commission?

The GA Public Service Commission is an independent agency that serves as a watchdog over utilities like natural gas, electric, and telecommunications services. This PSC is made up of five commissioners who oversee things like utility rates, assistance programs, and facilities protections.

While the PSC is not a legislative body, it does have the power to block utility rate increases, to set conditions for data center construction plans, or to require safety measures that protect utility workers and consumers alike.

Why is this the “District 5” race?

Georgia has been sectioned into five Public Service Commission “districts,” which are each represented by a commissioner. While each commissioner technically represents a specific district, they all serve the entire state of GA. This is why everyone in the state votes for all five commissioners.

If you are voting in Georgia this year, you will see the Public Service Commission, District 5 race on your ballot.

Where does Craig Cupid stand on data centers?

Craig Cupid believes in innovation, but also in fair rate allocation. He understands that the PSC cannot decide whether or not data centers will be built — that’s the job of legislators. However, his background as an engineer and an intellectual property attorney give in a distinct advantage in making sure any data centers that are built in GA will be cost-effective, beneficial to their community, and pay their fair share for the energy they use.

Craig knows how and where to look for the latest in energy innovation, as well as what’s coming in the near future. He’ll ask the tough questions of companies looking to cut corners, and he’s eager to prioritize smart solutions like recommending renewables as a key component in the building process.

Craig also sees how GA families are struggling to pay their utility bills while big corporations have been offered massive tax cuts to build in GA. He will push for large energy users — like data centers — to pay their fair share instead of everyday Georgians picking up the tab.

Why I’m Running

Craig Cupid with his wife Lisa, their two sons, and their small dog with green and red trees in the background

Every bill on the kitchen table matters — now more than ever.

I grew up in Augusta, GA where my father built his own business as an electrician. Like many hard-working Georgia families, we grew up turning off lights when we left a room and only running the AC at night, even during sweltering Georgia summers. From Georgia Tech's engineering program, to law school, to my wife and I struggling through unemployment during the Great Recession with our first son on the way, I’ve carried those lessons with me.

Today, I’m an intellectual property attorney, but I’ve never forgotten what it's like to count pennies. The Public Service Commission is a statewide agency that makes decisions that determine how reliable our grid is, how quickly power is restored after storms, and how much Georgia families pay every month.

I’m running to bring the independence, expertise, and perspective that ratepayers deserve. To represent Georgians as someone who understands both the engineering and the economics, someone who won't just rubber-stamp utility requests, and someone who remembers what it's like when every penny counts.

Are You With Me?

Meet Craig Cupid

A man in a suit and red tie is talking to a woman with curly hair and glasses in a stadium or arena setting.

Craig is a man of faith, a dedicated husband, and a proud father of two growing boys. Before becoming an attorney, he earned his electrical engineering degree from Georgia Tech, later completing his law degree at Georgia State University College of Law. This path has shaped Craig’s practical, problem-solving approach to service.

He and his wife Lisa, a committed public servant of Guyanese heritage, live in Smyrna with their two sons. Their family stays busy with school, community events, and youth sports, and Craig has volunteered for several years as a mentor and basketball coach.

Born to parents from Trinidad and raised in Augusta, Craig credits his upbringing for his resilience, humility, discipline, and Democratic principles. Outside of campaign life, you’ll likely find him playing basketball at local courts, attending community events, and cheering on his boys from the sidelines of a basketball court.
