2026 battleground election
Ballotpedia identified the May 19 Republican primary for lieutenant governor of Georgia as a battleground election. The summary below is from our coverage of this election, found here.
Eight candidates are running in the Republican primary for lieutenant governor of Georgia on May 19, 2026. Greg Dolezal (R), Steve Gooch (R), John Kennedy (R), and Blake Tillery (R) lead in polling and media attention. Incumbent Lt. Gov. Burt Jones (R) is running for governor of Georgia rather than for another term as lieutenant governor.
While all four leading candidates are members of the Georgia Senate, they have taken different approaches with their campaigns.
Dolezal was first elected to represent Georgia Senate District 27 in 2018. He became chief deputy majority whip in 2019. His campaign website states that he "stood with President [Donald] Trump when it mattered most" and "has authored some of the most conservative laws to pass the Georgia legislature."[2] Dolezal was one of four state senators in 2020 who called for a special session to select a separate slate of presidential electors.[3] At the time, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) said he would not call a special session.[4]
Gooch was first elected to represent Georgia Senate District 51 in 2010. He also served as majority leader from 2023 to 2025. Gooch's campaign website states that he "has been a consistent and vocal supporter of President Donald Trump ever since he came down the escalator in Trump Tower in 2015."[5] It also states that, if elected lieutenant governor, he "[will] not only deliver real relief for our families by eliminating the state income tax, he will overhaul our property tax system to ensure our seniors and veterans are no longer taxed out of their homes by runaway local governments."[5]
Kennedy represented Georgia Senate District 18 from 2015 to 2025. He also served as president pro tempore from 2023 to 2025. The Georgia Recorder's Maya Homan wrote that "While other candidates for the seat emphasized their loyalty to President Donald Trump and MAGA policies, Kennedy took a different approach, focusing on his conservative values and work in the state legislature."[6] According to Kennedy's campaign website his priorities include improving education, addressing public safety, and "continuing [Georgia’s] historic run of job creation and investment."[7]
Tillery was first elected to represent Georgia Senate District 19 in 2016. He became chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, which develops the state's budget, in 2020. Tillery said he is focusing his campaign on messages on issues "that seem to appeal to everyone": "We're talking about eliminating the state income tax. We're talking about making sure that Georgia immigration laws are followed, and that sanctuary cities don't exist. We're talking about making sure that state taxpayer dollars are not used to pay for transgender surgery."[8]
David Clark (R), Brenda Nelson-Porter (R), Takosha Swan (R), and Jerry Timbs (R) are also running in the Republican primary.
In Georgia, a primary candidate must earn a majority of the vote to win. If no candidate wins a majority, a runoff election is held on June 16, 2026, between the top two vote-getters.

Polls

Polls are conducted with a variety of methodologies and have margins of error or credibility intervals.[9] The Pew Research Center wrote, "A margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points at the 95% confidence level means that if we fielded the same survey 100 times, we would expect the result to be within 3 percentage points of the true population value 95 of those times."[10] For tips on reading polls from FiveThirtyEight, click here.

Campaign website
Tillery's campaign website stated the following:
Income Tax
Blake Tillery is the ONLY candidate for Lieutenant Governor that has called for eliminating our State Income Tax! He’s cut taxes and has been leading on this issue for years. When we vote for Blake Tillery, we vote to lower our income taxes!
Due to his leadership on this issue, Senator Blake Tillery was appointed by Lt. Gov. Burt Jones to chair a committee to eliminate the state income tax.
When asked by the media what the goal was, Senator Tillery responded with “My mission is simple: eliminate Georgia’s income tax entirely.”
Blake believes this issue is about competitiveness, economic freedom and, above all, it’s about you keeping more of your money.
Senator Blake Tillery is committed to delivering on this goal in a way that protects our state’s ability to fund its core priorities – education, public safety, infrastructure and healthcare.
Illegal Immigration
Blake authored a bill to force sanctuary cities to comply with our laws. He realizes that without borders, we are not a country. Part of our crime problem is due to drug cartels, fentanyl, and human trafficking. Blake Tillery will defend our borders!
As a Senator, Blake has been leading on this issue. He authored a bill that will ensure GA officials uphold the law – or face consequences!
Blake believes we must:
- Secure our border
- Deport the illegal aliens currently here
- Enforce our laws
- Have a legal, effective system in place to handle real immigrants
Without a true border – and that means border security or it’s not a real border – we don’t have a country. You lock your doors at night. You don’t allow strangers to enter your house and stay without your permission. Neither should the USA.
Blake is also against any form of amnesty. Illegal means illegal. They broke the law to get here and shouldn’t get rewarded for that action.
Fighting Crime
To fight crime, we have to be tough on criminals. Blake believes we must solve our illegal alien problem to reduce crime as well as support our law enforcement officers that are on the front lines.
Illegal aliens are one of the biggest drivers of crime. The drug cartels poison our country and fight for territory killing anyone in their path. We have a massive human trafficking problem as well as the risk of fentanyl poisoning affecting innocent Georgians.
On top of that, we have liberals that refuse to hold criminals accountable. They even want to get rid of the cash bail system to get them back on the street faster!
If we elect Blake Tillery as Lieutenant Governor, he will put a stop to criminals running rampant. He will hold those in charge of our justice system accountable and will demand results that protect our families.
Fighting For Our Freedom
Our rights & freedoms are spelled out in the US Constitution but given by God so protecting those rights is vital. Blake Tillery will fight to his last breath to protect those rights from being attacked or diminished.
The right to free speech is guaranteed by the First Amendment of the Constitution and, according to the Declaration of Independence, is a right given by God. That’s why Blake authored a bill to stop big banks from closing your accounts just because they didn’t like what you said.
The same is true with the 2nd Amendment too. Blake is standing up for gun manufacturers that have been debanked. But he has to fight the big business lobby as well as RINOs.
The Trump Organization filed suit against Capital One the day after Senator Tillery’s bill was debated. The day before that suit was filed, some of Blake’s opponents said debanking didn’t really happen. They must not ever listen to our President or average Georgians!
Fighting For Our Values
The cultural shift over the past few decades has been stunning. From boys competing in girls’ sports, to Drag Queen Story Hour, to taxpayer-funded gender-altering surgeries — this is not the Georgia any of us want for our children.
Imagine telling someone that we wouldn’t be able to know what a woman was in 2025! Just a few years ago, Ketanji Brown Jackson was asked in a Senate confirmation hearing to define what a woman was and responded, “I’m not a biologist.” Sadly, she was confirmed to the Supreme Court even after that response.
Why do drag queens need to read stories to children? Why should the most qualified person not get a job based on the color of their skin? Why do we allow woke nonsense to prevail?
Senator Blake Tillery has been on the front lines fighting against DEI, CRT, and other divisive and woke ideologies. He authored a bill (SB 39) to put a stop to Georgia taxpayers funding gender-altering surgeries — both through the State Benefit Plan and in our prison system. Georgians should not be forced to pay for elective procedures with which they fundamentally disagree.

Jobs/Economy
- Excerpt: "When we make growing South Georgia a priority and work together as a team, we can get the best jobs for our neighbors. This lowers the tax burden for all of us, increases the vibrancy of our area and helps keep our kids closer to home with opportunities for a good career."
Taxes
- Excerpt: "By reducing expenses, pushing economic growth, and eliminating unnecessary regulations on our small business owners, Blake has plans and ideas to see our state grow AND lower taxes at the same time."
2nd Amendment
- Excerpt: "Blake believes the 2nd Amendment is an INDIVIDUAL right, not a corporate right. Its purpose was to protect individuals from the power and tyranny of government."
Local control
- Excerpt: "We believe in local control and solutions that work for the specific community not in a 'one size fits all' approach."
Education
- Excerpt: "Blake has ideas on reforming education funding through a more fair sales tax instead of the property tax mechanism."

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
Click here for an overview of legislative scorecards in all 50 states. To contribute to the list of scorecards, email suggestions to editor@ballotpedia.org.
