Georgia GOP Governor Race: Jones vs Jackson
Description
Georgias Republican gubernatorial primary is heating up between Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones and billionaire Rick Jackson. Jones, endorsed by Trump, is facing off against Jacksons massive spending and healthcare company controversies. Jones has attempted to block Jackson from state contracts and disqualify him from the race, but these moves have failed. Jackson retaliates with ads accusing Jones of corruption and highlighting no-bid pandemic deals. The primary also features Attorney General Chris Carr and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. Tensions have boiled over at the state capitol, with House Republicans shutting down Jones anti-Jackson push and endorsing Jackson. The election is also causing headaches, with a deadline to ditch barcode ballots and ongoing tax fights. The messy session may haunt Jones campaign as House Republicans lean towards Jackson.
