Former Democratic state Rep. Mesha Mainor, who left the party in 2023, announced her campaign as a Republican for Georgia state school superintendent.

Mainor left the Democratic Party over disagreements with its stance on taxpayer-funded school vouchers for private schools. The school voucher bill passed with her support when she joined the Republican Party.
