2022 Georgia gubernatorial election
The 2022 Georgia gubernatorial election will take place on November 8, 2022, to elect the governor of Georgia. Incumbent Republican governor Brian Kemp is eligible to seek a second term in office; he has announced that he will run for re-election. He is facing a primary challenge from former U.S. Senator David Perdue, who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump because Kemp refused to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. Stacey Abrams, the former Minority Leader of the Georgia House of Representatives and founder of Fair Fight Action who was  narrowly defeated by Kemp in the 2018 gubernatorial election, is once again seeking the Democratic nomination for governor. Should she face Kemp again, it would be Georgia's first gubernatorial rematch since 1950. Libertarian Shane T. Hazel, the Libertarian nominee for US Senate in 2020, has also declared that he will run. Independent Al Bartell has filed campaign paperwork.
