Candidates Endorsed by the NFIB Georgia PAC Sweep the Primary Runoff

June 29, 2026

Contests included legislative races and two seats on the state Supreme Court

All 14 candidates endorsed by the NFIB Georgia PAC won their races in the June 16 primary runoff.

Incumbent state Sens. Russ Goodman (District 8), Jason Anavitarte (District 31) and Frank Ginn (District 47) won their Republican primaries. Will Wade defeated two challengers to win the Republican nomination in District 51.

In House races, state Reps. Kasey Carpenter (District 4), Katie Dempsey (District 13), Matt Dubnik (District 29), Todd Jones (District 25), Matt Hatchett (District 155), House Speaker Jon Burns (District 159) and Majority Whip James Burchett (District 176) all won their Republican primaries. Ward Black defeated Chat Paton to win the Republican nomination in District 120.

The PAC also endorsed Georgia Supreme Court Justices Charlie Bethel and Sarah Warren, who both won their runoff races.

“It’s important to elect candidates who understand the issues and challenges facing Georgia’s job creators,” NFIB State Director Hunter Loggins said. “The results of the primary runoff show the influence that small business owners, their families and their employees can have at the polls.”

Georgia’s general election will be held Nov. 3. If needed, a general election runoff will be held Dec. 1.
