Geoffrey L. Duncan (born April 1, 1975) is an American businessman and politician who is the 12th lieutenant governor of Georgia. He is a former member of the Georgia House of Representatives.
After playing college baseball for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, Duncan played professional baseball for six years until a shoulder injury forced him to retire. He went into business and was elected to the Georgia House in 2012.
Baseball and business career
Duncan attended Chattahoochee High School in Alpharetta, Georgia, and Georgia Institute of Technology. He played college baseball for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. He played in the 1994 College World Series with Georgia Tech, losing in the final round.[1] He played in Minor League Baseball for the Florida Marlins organization from 1996 through 2000, reaching Triple-A, when a shoulder injury ended his career.[2] Duncan retired from baseball and went into business.[3]
After retiring from baseball, Duncan became chief executive officer for Wellview Health, a healthcare and wellness company.[4]
Political career
Duncan was elected to the Georgia House of Representatives in 2012.[5]
Duncan announced he would run for lieutenant governor of Georgia on April 10, 2017.[6] He resigned from the Georgia House in September 2017 to focus on running for lieutenant governor in 2018.[7][8]
On May 22, 2018, Shafer received 48.9% of the vote in the Republican primary with Duncan coming in second place with 26.6%. Since no candidate received a majority of votes, the election then went to a runoff held on July 24.[9] The runoff election focused largely on Shafer's record at the capitol and a number of ethical questions surrounding his candidacy.[10] On July 24, Duncan defeated Shafer[11] with 50.16% of the vote. He defeated Democratic nominee Sarah Riggs Amico in the general election, receiving nearly 52% of the vote and avoiding another runoff.[12]
Duncan was inaugurated lieutenant governor on January 14, 2019.[13]
Personal life
Duncan and his wife, Brooke, have three sons. They live in Cumming, Georgia
