Georgia Governor

There will be no incumbent in the 2026 race for Governor. Current Governor Brian Kemp (Rep) is term-limited and cannot run again. This has led to a wide-open field in both major parties. Enough candidates are running in both parties that we should expect a runoff in both from the May 19th primary; the runoff would occur on June 16th.

The following people have filed to run for Governor as Democrats in the 2026 primary. Links go to campaign websites. A candidate’s name with no link did not have a website when last checked. The “playlist” link below the names takes you to our Committee’s YouTube playlist channel for the Governor’s race.
