![]() |
The 2022 Georgia lieutenant gubernatorial election was held on November 8, 2022, to elect the lieutenant governor of the U.S. state of Georgia. It coincided with various other statewide elections, including for U.S. Senate, U.S. House, and Governor of Georgia. Georgia is one of 21 states that elects its lieutenant governor separately from its governor.
Incumbent Republican Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan, who was first elected in 2018 with 51.6% of the vote, declined to run for a second term after he openly contradicted claims of election fraud in the 2020 presidential election. [1] [2] A vocal critic of Donald Trump, he had been speculated as a potential presidential candidate in the 2024 election. [3] [4]
Primary elections were held on May 24, with runoffs being held on June 21 for instances in which no candidate received a majority of the initial vote. State legislator Burt Jones won the Republican nomination and was one of two Trump-endorsed statewide candidates in Georgia to do so, along with Herschel Walker in his run for U.S. Senate. [5] [6] Attorney Charlie Bailey won the Democratic primary in a runoff, and former party chair Ryan Graham was chosen as the Libertarian nominee. [7] [8]
Jones was declared the winner on November 9 after all the votes were counted. [9] He was inaugurated on January 9, 2023.
