Republicans are seeking to hold their majorities in Georgia’s legislature and maintain their lock on statewide offices as voting concludes Tuesday, even as Democrats compete heavily for governor and U.S. senator at the top of the ballot.
But Republicans have incumbents defending four statewide offices. Attorney General Chris Carr is running against Jordan and Libertarian Martin Cowan. is opposed by Nguyen and Libertarian Ted Metz. State School Superintendent Richard Woods faces Democrat Alisha Thomas Searcy. Insurance Commissioner John King is running against Democrat Janice Laws Robinson.
And Republicans nominated state senators for the three other statewide positions. Burt Jones is running for lieutenant governor against Democrat Charlie Bailey and Libertarian Ryan Graham. Tyler Harper is running for agriculture commissioner against Democrat Nakita Hemingway and Libertarian David Raudabaugh. Bruce Thornton is running for labor commissioner against Democratic state Rep. William Boddie and Libertarian Emily Anderson.
Democrats were hoping to gain in the General Assembly after redistricting. Fair Districts Georgia, a group that opposes gerrymandering, projected that Republicans have the advantage in 98 of the new state House districts drawn by a Republican majority last year, while Democrats have the advantage in 82 districts.
In the Senate, Fair District Georgia predicted that Democrats might be able to trim the Republican majority by a seat, to 33-23. Republicans, though, are trying to maintain their majority by holding or taking over several districts that favor Democrats.
