Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger was tallying 53 percent of the vote with Democrat Bee Nguyen getting 46 percent.
The Republican State Leadership Committee said, "Despite being left for dead at the beginning of the cycle, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger defied all the odds and easily won re-election Tuesday night. Raffensperger’s victory is a major embarrassment for the national liberal groups that combined to spend $3.8 million to oust him."
“Secretary Raffensperger is a principled conservative dedicated to making it easier to vote and harder to cheat and we congratulate him on his re-election,” said RSLC President Dee Duncan. “His victory proves that the people of Georgia were not fooled by the fear mongering of the national liberal groups that went all-in to flip this office. Secretary Raffensperger ran a textbook campaign focused on the truth and we are proud to have supported his candidacy.”
The RSLC said, "While Raffensperger faced a significant television spending disparity of nearly 9:1, the RSLC made a six-figure investment in a targeted digital campaign to strengthen his standing with swing voters. The RSLC spent more on Raffensperger than on any other candidate for secretary of state in 2022."
State Senator and 7th generation South Georgia Farmer Tyler Harper secured a victory to be the state's next Agriculture Commissioner
Following his victory, he said, "What a fantastic win. I am extremely honored and humbled to have won our election to be Georgia's next Commissioner of Agriculture. For the past year and a half, we have been crisscrossing this state, meeting with voters, and sharing our message directly with communities from Blue Ridge to Bainbridge and everywhere in between. We've discussed my background and experience as a 7th generation South Georgia farmer, ABAC and UGA alumnus, and industry leader to our record in the State Senate delivering every day for our famers, producers and consumers across the state - and that message clearly resonated with the voters, and I'm so thankful for their trust and support throughout our campaign.
"We are going to put that same work ethic, record, experience, and passion to work every day as the next Agriculture Commissioner to help lower costs, secure fair trade deals, empower our family farmers, invest in the next generation of Agriculture, expand the Georgia Grown program, and improve the lives of every farmer and family in our state.
"Thank you to every volunteer, supporter, and voter who made this victory possible. We absolutely couldn't have done it without you. We are excited about hitting the ground running to advance our state's number one industry and continue making Georgia the best place to live, work and raise a family."
