Lt. Gov. Duncan Shares About Not Running for Re-Election
From a press release:
“It always feels coldest right before the sun rises. I believe that is the exact moment in time the Republican Party is caught in right now, and I am committed to being a part of creating those better days ahead for our conservative party all across this country. The national events of the last six months have deeply affected my family in ways I would have never imagined when I first asked for their support to run for Lieutenant Governor in 2017. Through all of the highs and lows of the last six months they have never left my side and are once again united behind me in my pursuit of a better way forward for our conservative party – a GOP 2.0.
Today, I am announcing that I will not be seeking reelection for a second term as Lieutenant Governor. It is truly an honor to serve as Lt. Governor and I have no intention of slowing down on my policy over politics platform. The people of Georgia elected me to serve four years and I will give them nothing less. I look forward to working with the Senate during the upcoming Redistricting special session this fall and the 2022 legislative session starting in January. Our office will continue to go to work each and every day looking for ways to positively affect the lives of all 11 million Georgians.
In the coming months, I will begin transitioning a majority of my political energy toward helping to build out an organization called GOP 2.0 on a national level. This organization will focus on healing and rebuilding a Republican Party that is damaged but not destroyed through a strategy called P.E.T. Project. GOP 2.0 will work hard every day reminding Americans the value of conservative Policies through genuine Empathy and a respectful Tone. This effort will no doubt be challenging but well worth it because both this country and this Party deserve better.”

Wow… Duncan is a good guy and can’t wait to see what he brings around.
On one hand, it’s nice to see that there’s some Georgia Republicanism that has political value and a brand worth exporting to other states and the nation. Who would have known that there is a market for “Wisdom, Justice and Moderation”?
On the other, my understanding is that at least a few district conventions censured him with the usual absurd hyper-partisan/anti-fact/anti-wisdom/anti-justice/anti-moderation baloney.
Which means the crops we’re growing are all party-uber-alles, which means when it’s time to sow (in 2022/24) we’re gonna see a lot more that is so extreme that it’s anti-Georgian.
The Suffragettes 2.0 are listening, but still very neutral. Fool us 1,407 times…
