Brad Raffensperger runs for Georgia governor and tries to defy Republicans who called him 'repugnant'
Brad Raffensperger generally avoids the explosive topic that made him famous.
As the state’s top election official, Raffensperger refused Donald Trump’s demand to “find” the votes needed to overturn the president’s 2020 loss in the Peach State. Now, as a candidate for the Republican nomination for Georgia governor, he prefers to talk about making state government leaner and lowering costs — even as Republicans either talk about their anger at him or just want him to go away.
Billionaire health care executive Rick Jackson kicked off his campaign last month with an ad that compared Raffensperger’s actions to those of Judas. Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, who served as a false Republican elector in 2020 and is running now with the president’s endorsement, has cast Raffensperger as a member of “Team Never Trump.”
Delegates to a state party convention last year approved a resolution that labeled him “repugnant” to the party brand and sought to bar him from seeking any office as a Republican.
