Democratic Party of Georgia Responds to Announcement by Lt. Gov. Duncan That He Will Not Seek Re-election

In response to the announcement by Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan that he will not seek re-election in 2022, Scott Hogan, Executive Director of the Democratic Party of Georgia, released the following statement:

“Lieutenant Governor Duncan’s announcement that he will not seek re-election confirms what we already knew – there is no room for common sense or basic truth in the Georgia GOP. Donald Trump and the far-right have completely taken over the Republican Party with extreme rhetoric, racist voter suppression policies, and a barrage of blatant lies about our presidential election. While Republicans try in vain to salvage their broken party, Democrats are focused on electing new, forward-looking leadership to the Lieutenant Governor’s office and statewide offices in 2022.”
