Democratic State Senator Josh McLaurin announced Monday that he will run for lieutenant governor next year, promising a campaign focused on fighting President Donald Trump’s agenda.
McLaurin is a lawyer and was elected to the Georgia House of Representatives in 2018 before moving over to the state Senate in 2022. This year, he has railed on the Senate floor almost daily against Trump’s economic policies and defiance of the rule of law.
McLaurin is the only Democratic candidate thus far to enter the race to succeed Republican Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones, who is widely expected to run for governor.
