Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger officially launched his long-expected campaign for governor Wednesday with a video announcement touting his conservative bona fides.
Im a conservative Republican, and Im prepared to make the tough decisions, he said. I follow the law and the Constitution, and Ill always do the right thing for Georgia, no matter what.
Raffensperger became a household name after the 2020 election when President Donald Trump called on him to find 11,780 votes and help overturn his loss in the state.
Raffensperger refused, and elements of the GOP have been hostile to him ever since delegates at this years state GOP convention passed a resolution barring him from running as a Republican, though they acknowledge they do not actually have the power to do so.
