Atlanta, GA - Governor Brian Kemp of Georgia has officially announced he will not be seeking a Senate seat in the next election cycle. Kemp, a Republican who has served two terms as governor, was widely considered a top recruit for the GOP in the state. His decision to forgo a Senate run has surprised many political observers.
"After careful consideration, I have decided that my focus remains on serving the people of Georgia as Governor," Kemp stated in a press release. He emphasized his commitment to addressing issues facing the state, including economic growth and public safety.
