2018 Georgia gubernatorial election
The 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election took place on November 6, 2018. Incumbent Republican Governor Nathan Deal was term-limited and thus could not seek re-election to a third consecutive term. Republican Secretary of State Brian Kemp won the election, defeating Democratic former State Representative Stacey Abrams by nearly 55,000 votes. This was the closest governor’s race in Georgia since 1966.
