Independent Oversight.
Lower Bills.
As an engineer, attorney, and father, Craig understands that every penny on a power bill matters.
He’s running for the public service commission to keep the lights on, keep costs in check, and ensure innovation works for the people.
Why I'm Running
Because every bill on the kitchen table matters.
Craig grew up in Augusta, Georgia. His father was an electrician who built his own business. Like many hard-working Georgia families, the Cupid family turned off lights when leaving rooms, ran the AC only at night during sweltering Georgia summers, and understood that every penny counted. Craig carried those lessons with him — through Georgia Tech's engineering program, through law school, and even through his own family's struggle when both he and his wife were unemployed during the Great Recession, with their first child on the way.
Today, Craig is an intellectual property attorney, but he's never forgotten what it's like to count pennies. The Public Service Commission makes decisions that determine how reliable our grid is, how quickly power is restored after storms, and how much Georgia families pay every month. Craig's running to bring the independence, expertise, and perspective that ratepayers deserve — 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.
Meet Craig
Craig Cupid is a man of faith, a dedicated husband, and a proud father of two growing boys. Before becoming an attorney, Craig earned his electrical engineering degree from Georgia Tech, later completing his law degree at Georgia State University College of Law—a path that shaped his practical, problem-solving approach to service.
He and his wife, a committed public servant of Guyanese heritage, make their home in Smyrna with their two sons. Their family stays busy with school, community events, and youth sports, where Craig has spent years volunteering as a mentor and basketball coach.
Born to parents from Trinidad and raised in Augusta, Craig credits his upbringing for his resilience, humility, and discipline. 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.
