ATLANTA - Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp officially launched his 2022 campaign Tuesday.
The campaign sent out a press release naming Kemp s campaign staff and his grassroots leaders in each of the state s 159 counties. Brian Kemp has a strong, conservative record of fighting for life, standing up for law enforcement, cutting taxes, protecting lives and livelihoods against the COVID-19 pandemic, and defending election integrity, said Kemp s Campaign Manager Bobby Saparow in a statement.
The incumbent already has one challenger. Former state lawmaker and newly-minted Republican Vernon Jones announced his candidacy last month. Jones has publicly criticized Gov. Kemp for not doing enough to support former President Donald Trump after his defeat in Georgia in the 2020 race.
