ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia state Sen. Greg Dolezal entered a crowded race for lieutenant governor Tuesday with a hard-line MAGA campaign pledging to curb the “radical left.”

Dolezal, a Republican from Cumming, is now the fourth Republican state senator running for lieutenant governor.

His campaign launch video touts his support for President Donald Trump and promises to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion in “every government agency” in Georgia, remove “soft on crime” prosecutors and “stop transgender indoctrination” in schools.
