Greg Dolezal highlights legislative record in bid for Georgia Lt. Governor
State Senator Greg Dolezal has backed and authored measures related to school choice expansion, restrictions on diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in public schools, and legislation addressing transgender participation in girls’ and women’s sports.
MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Georgia State Senator Greg Dolezal has entered the race for lieutenant governor, positioning himself as a results-driven conservative focused on education reform, election integrity, and economic policy.
His campaign platform also emphasizes business experience, pointing to his background founding and leading companies across multiple industries, including technology, manufacturing, and healthcare. Dolezal argues that this private-sector experience sets him apart in a crowded Republican primary field.
On economic policy, Dolezal has advocated for deeper tax cuts, including proposals to eliminate state taxes on tips and overtime. However, some of those efforts did not pass during the most recent legislative session, which he has acknowledged fell short in addressing affordability concerns.
Election policy has also been a central focus of his campaign. Dolezal has pushed for a transition to hand-marked paper ballots and has supported increased state oversight of local election systems. Those proposals come amid ongoing political divisions over election security, despite multiple reviews of Georgia’s 2020 election finding no evidence of widespread fraud.
At the same time, Dolezal’s campaign has drawn criticism over its tone and messaging. A recent campaign video warning about the influence of so-called “Sharia law” in the United States sparked backlash from political opponents and some community leaders, who raised concerns about its content and implications.
The lieutenant governor’s race is expected to be closely watched, with candidates focusing on issues ranging from economic growth and education to public safety and election policy. As the campaign develops, Dolezal’s record, proposals, and campaign strategy are likely to remain key points of discussion among voters across Georgia.
