Brian Kemp (jan 14, 2019 – jan 11, 2027)

Description:

Brian Kemp is the current Governor of Georgia, first elected in 2018 and re-elected in 2022, focusing on conservative policies and economic development. His tenure included signing the Election Integrity Act of 2021, which introduced stricter voting regulations and was criticized as voter suppression by opponents. Kemp also enacted one of the nation's strictest abortion laws in 2019, banning most abortions after six weeks, and kept Georgia's economy open during the COVID-19 pandemic, drawing both praise and criticism. Significant events during his governorship included the George Floyd protests in 2020, where he deployed the National Guard, and recent legislation in 2025 limiting lawsuits to benefit businesses, which sparked debate over access to justice.
