Ted Metz started life as the son of an US Air Force pilot, living in 13 states by age 11. “Being raised in the cultural diversity of base housing makes it easy for me to recognize the propaganda employed by the powers that be to perpetuate and incite the tension that keeps all Americans from enjoying Domestic Tranquility.”

Ted worked his way through college as an entrepreneur in the Satellite Telecommunications Industry after serving in the US Navy from 1979 to 1985. He studied Organic Chemistry at the University of Georgia, was employed as a Scientist, heading the Research Division of a major consumer products corporation. After burning out on corporate culture, he fell back on his Risk Management and Business Administration degree from Georgia State University, then built and ran an Insurance Agency, eventually retiring from a career as Chartered Senior Financial Planner.

Since 2012 he has been fighting to restore the Rule of Law and to stop the Corporate Takeover of the Government by joining the Republican Party with the Ron Paul movement. He has been tirelessly engaged to affect people’s attitudes about Liberty and Self Determination with involvement in many groups and organizations to steer elected officials towards smaller, fiscally responsible, constitutional government. He was the 3^rd Vice Chair of the 13^th District and a Cobb Precinct Chair.  Also, in 2012 he started filming Garland Favorito’s presentations on Georgia’s election systems which launched his deep dive into Georgia Elections.

In 2014 he took advantage of an opportunity to run for Georgia Insurance Commissioner as the Libertarian candidate. Afterwards, he took leadership roles in the LP of Georgia, serving two terms as Chairman, running for Governor in 2018, then for Secretary of State in 2022. In his words he was “running to reframe the political rhetoric of my opponents to steer them to uphold the Constitution and the rule of law.” The televised debates against Kemp and Abrams and against Raffensperger are still online for you to see.

Diagnosed on October 31st of 2017 with an aggressive metastatic carcinoma, it took until January 30th of 2018 for him to undergo radical surgery that removed much of the left side of his head, neck and shoulder. To cover the scars, he wears his hair long, in his words, “so I don’t have to see it or gross-out my grandkids.” Most folks have no idea that he was undergoing radiation and chemo therapy during his campaign for Governor in 2018.

After the Libertarian National Convention in 2024, Ted concluded the LP had become irrelevant and that he could no longer actively participate and contemplated retiring from the political sphere. Although he was nominated to run for Secretary of State by the Libertarians, he was not going to follow through. After several conversations with his republican friends, he was persuaded to run for the office as the Republican they knew him to be. So, the prodigal son returned to his Reagan Republican roots.

Along with his research partners, Ted has filed multiple election integrity law suits in Georgia at the county level, 11^th Circuit and 11^th District Federal Courts, all the way to the Georgia Supreme Court in addition to playing key roles in Ad Litum noticing the Legislature and all 159 County Election Boards.

Ted Metz can prove that fixing Georgia elections is as simple as following the State and Federal Black Letter laws that are already on the books by returning election administration, including voter registration, to the counties where it belongs. Hand-marked paper ballots counted by humans at the precincts on election day.
