Republican candidate for lieutenant governor Greg Dolezal made a campaign stop in Savannah, Georgia, where he addressed several economic and community concerns facing Coastal Georgia. Speaking at Hotel Bardo, Dolezal specifically highlighted the expansion of large-scale data centers as a significant local issue.

During his remarks, Dolezal criticized the practice of using taxpayer money to subsidize what he called "large, trillion-dollar corporations" building data centers in the state. He expressed his disapproval of non-disclosure agreements between government entities and private companies, arguing that taxpayers should have full transparency regarding such commitments. This stance aligns with scrutiny from residents in neighboring Effingham County concerning data center developments.

Beyond data centers, the state senator also focused on broader affordability issues, identifying property tax reduction as a top legislative priority aimed at alleviating financial burdens on homeowners across Georgia. He further affirmed confidence in recent state legislative efforts to ensure election integrity.
