The battle for Georgia’s Lt. Governor: McLaurin vs. Parkes

The race to become the next second-in-command of Georgia is heading toward a high-stakes finish line. Exactly two weeks, on Tuesday, June 16, Democratic voters will head back to the polls for a pivotal primary runoff election to select their nominee for Lieutenant Governor. With no incumbent in the race—as current Lt. Gov. Burt Jones runs for governor—state Senator Josh McLaurin and former state Senator Nabilah Parkes are locked in a tightening battle to decide who will face the Republican nominee this November.
