Elected Governor

Keisha Lance Bottoms
Democratic

The 2026 Georgia gubernatorial election took place in the US state on November 3, 2026, to elect the governor of Georgia. Keisha Lance Bottoms, a Democrat and former Atlanta Mayor, defeated Republican billionaire businessman Rick Jackson. [1]

Contents

Primary elections were held on May 19, 2026, with a primary runoff held on June 16. Jackson and incumbent Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones received the most votes in the first round of the Republican primary, but failed to reach the 50% threshold, causing a runoff which Jackson won. Jackson's campaign was predominantly self-funded, managing to overcome endorsements for Jones from President Donald Trump and outgoing governor Brian Kemp. Bottoms won the Democratic nomination without a runoff against six other candidates.

This race was expected to be highly competitive due to the state's nearly even partisan lean and Bottoms' perceived poor electability. Most polling showed the two candidates within the margin of error. However, in the midst of a historic Democratic wave nationwide, Keisha Lance Bottoms unexpectedly pulled away on election night and won by a comfortable 8.6% margin, much to her own surprise. [2] Along with her victory, Democrats won every other statewide office in Georgia on the same ballot. [3] Bottoms is the first woman and first African-American to be elected governor of Georgia. Bottoms will be the first African-American woman to be governor of any U.S. state. She is also the first Democrat to be elected governor of Georgia since Roy Barnes in 1998. [4]

Republican primary

Candidates

Incumbent Republican governor Brian Kemp was ineligible to seek re-election to a third consecutive term. With Kemp term-limited, speculation mounted about Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, and Attorney General Chris Carr. Carr and Raffensperger sought to associate themselves with Kemp, drawing on his relative popularity. [5] Jones sought to ally himself with Trump, who endorsed him in August 2025.

Rick Jackson, a healthcare CEO, announced his campaign in February 2026. Previously unknown in the political realm, Jackson quickly consolidated support from right-wing primary voters, in part due to his significant personal financial resources. Jackson spent more than $83 million in personal funds during the primary. Jackson's campaign emphasized his success as a self-made billionaire, highlighting his impoverished childhood. Jackson also sought to tie himself to Trump, claiming he would be "Trump's favorite governor" and "just like Trump, but with a Southern tone." [6] An aggressive television ad campaign allowed Jackson to take a small polling lead by spring 2026. Jackson's self-funding represented the largest amount any candidate had ever spent in a primary race for Georgia governor. [6]

Jones's campaign focused primarily on rural connections, Trump, and support from Republican allies in the General Assembly. Jones accused Jackson of "[making] his fortune recruiting for Planned Parenthood" and funding Transgender surgery for minors. [7] Jackson denied these accusations and filed for defamation against Jones, a lawsuit he later dropped. [8]

Jones won a plurality of the vote at 38.4%, winning most rural counties. Jackson came second at 32.5%, drawing strong support from the north Atlanta suburbs. Raffensperger came in third and won DeKalb County. The lack of a majority meant that a runoff was held on June 16.

Jackson won the runoff by a 5-point margin, despite Kemp endorsing Jones two days before the vote. With the Democratic primary already over, focus shifted to the candidates' ability to counter Keisha Lance Bottoms. Jackson had consistently attacked Bottoms's record as mayor since he launched his campaign.

In the previous two occasions (2018 and 2010) where the Republican primary did not feature an incumbent governor, the plurality-winner in the primary went on to lose the primary runoff. This trend repeated itself in 2026.

Analysis

A Republican stronghold during the 2000s and 2010s, Georgia is today considered a swing state at the federal level, a feat attributed to the rapid population growth and diversification of Metro Atlanta. However, the state maintained a Republican lean at the state level, with Republicans holding all statewide executive offices in the 2022 midterms, where incumbent governor Brian Kemp was re-elected in a rematch against Democrat Stacey Abrams by a 7.5 percent margin. [159] Republicans also control both the state senate and House of Representatives, together with Kemp's governorship establishing a government trifecta, alongside an all but one Republican pick on the state's supreme court. A year prior to the 2026 elections, the 2025 Georgia Public Service Commission special election resulted in two Democrats being elected to the Commission, both by landslide victories, and marking the first time that Democrats won any seats on the PSC since the 2000 elections or any state-wide non-federal offices since the 2006 elections. [160] [161] Previously, Democrats had not won a gubernatorial election in Georgia since 1998.

Bottoms became the first gubernatorial Democratic candidate to win Houston County (home to Warner Robins) since Roy Barnes in 1998; neighboring Peach County since Barnes in 2010; and the fast-growing Metro Atlanta county of Fayette since Joe Frank Harris in 1986. [162]
