OnAir Post: 2022 GA Secretary of State Race
Brad Raffensperger
Current Position: Secretary of State since 2019
Affiliation: Republican
Candidate: 2022 Secretary of State
Bradford Jay Raffensperger (born May 18, 1955) is an American politician, businessman, and civil engineer, serving as the Secretary of State of Georgia since 2019. A member of the Republican Party, he previously served in the Georgia House of Representatives, representing District 50.
Raffensperger rose to national attention in the aftermath of the 2020 U.S. presidential election that November. President Donald Trump lost the election, and lost Georgia, to challenger Joe Biden. After his loss, Trump refused to accept defeat and made false claims of fraud. Trump launched a protracted campaign to overturn the election results and keep himself in power, but was ultimately unsuccessful. As part of this campaign, Trump made a recorded phone call on January 2, 2021, in which he attempted to persuade Raffensperger to change the vote count in Georgia in Trump’s favor. He resisted pressure from Trump, and claimed that the outgoing president’s claims were based on falsehoods.
Raffensperger is running for reelection in the 2022 Georgia Secretary of State election, after defeating Trump-backed Jody Hice in the Republican primary.

The 2022 Georgia Secretary of State election was held on November 8, 2022, to elect the Secretary of State of Georgia. Incumbent Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger won re-election to a second term. Raffensperger emerged as a major national figure in early January, 2021 when he faced significant pressure from then-President Donald Trump to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. Trump had been taped in a phone call asking Raffensperger to “find 11,780 votes,” the exact number needed for Trump to carry the state.[1] The party primary elections took place on May 24, with runoffs scheduled for June 21.
Raffensperger was elected in 2018 to a first term in a runoff against Democratic former U.S. representative John Barrow, the first time in Georgia history that any statewide executive election went to a second round.

Despite opinion polls suggesting a tight race between Brad Raffensperger and Jody Hice as well as Trump’s endorsement of Hice, Raffensperger ultimately won the primary election with a 19-point margin over Hice and avoided a potential runoff by winning an outright majority of the vote. This has been attributed to Hice’s insufficient name recognition across the state and crossover voting in Georgia’s open primary system where some Democratic voters voted in the Republican primary to vote against “Trump-backed extremists” like Hice.[18][19]
Raffensperger performed best in the Atlanta metropolitan area, while Hice performed best in Georgia’s 10th congressional district, where he served as a U.S. representative; only five counties outside the district are won by Hice. The only county to not be won by either Raffensperger or Hice is Treutlen County, Hudson’s home county, which he won with 76.42% of the vote.[20]
