Overview

• Raffensperger announced his run with a video casting himself as a conservative Republican pledging a “bold conservative agenda.”
• He enters a crowded GOP primary featuring Trump-endorsed Lt. Gov. Burt Jones and Attorney General Chris Carr as leading rivals.
• His platform includes eliminating Georgia’s state income tax, capping property taxes for seniors, restricting puberty blockers for minors, and removing “woke curriculums” from schools.
• The campaign spot underscores his Christian faith and a personal push to combat deadly drugs after the loss of his son to addiction.
• The Georgia GOP voted in June to try to bar him from running as a Republican, a move the party chair questioned, and he can self-fund after selling his company in 2023.
