Republican Greg Dolezal is running for Georgia lieutenant governor in the Nov. 3, 2026, election. His campaign platform emphasizes tax reductions, parental choice in education and tighter immigration enforcement.
Background
Dolezal was elected to the state Senate in 2018. His campaign biography describes business experience in manufacturing, health care, technology and services and identifies him as chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee.
Taxes and household costs
Dolezal proposes ending school property taxes for people 65 and older and moving Georgia toward eliminating its state income tax. He points to spending cuts and ending corporate incentives as ways to support lower taxes.
The platform reviewed does not supply a revenue estimate, replacement school-funding formula or timetable. Those omissions leave the effects on local school budgets and other taxpayers uncertain.
Schools, housing and energy
He supports expanded parental choice in education and restrictions on hedge-fund and foreign ownership of single-family homes. He also argues that data centers should pay for their power infrastructure rather than shifting those costs to families.
His campaign supports stricter immigration enforcement, including mass deportations. Federal authorities administer immigration enforcement; a state lieutenant governor cannot independently set national deportation policy.
What the office can do
The lieutenant governor presides over Georgia’s Senate and works with legislators on legislation, according to the state’s description of the office. The office can influence legislative priorities, but tax and spending changes require action through the lawmaking and budget processes.
The Sandy Springs Record did not receive a direct questionnaire response from the candidate and does not endorse candidates.
