RSLC Statement on Georgia’s Secretary of State Race
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger Beats Back Millions in Democrat Spending to Win Reelection
WASHINGTON, D.C. — 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.”
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.
