GA-LG: Georgia Senate's top budget writer (R) officially launches campaign for lieutenant governor
Vidalia Republican state Sen. Blake Tillery has joined the race to become Georgia’s next lieutenant governor in 2026.
The second-highest executive office in the state will be open next year because Lt. Gov. Burt Jones is running for governor.
Tillery, who was first elected to his south Georgia district in 2016, launched his campaign Monday with a fly-around with stops including Savannah, Augusta, Columbus and Perry.
During a stop at the state Capitol in Atlanta, Tillery said that he will prioritize conservative values.
