Brad Raffensperger is a Republican candidate for Governor of Georgia in the 2026 election. An engineering entrepreneur, he is the CEO of Tendon Systems, LLC. He previously served in the Georgia House of Representatives and has been Georgia's Secretary of State since 2019. Raffensperger gained national attention for refusing to overturn the state's 2020 election results.
