The Georgia State Ethics Commission has declined to investigate Lt. Gov. Burt Jones over a $10 million loan he made to his own gubernatorial campaign committee.
The complaint, filed by rival Republican candidate and Attorney General Chris Carr, questioned the legality of Jones' self-financing and sought an official inquiry. The commission dismissed the complaint, stating it did not allege a violation of state law. This decision comes as both Jones and Carr vie for the Republican nomination in the 2026 Georgia governor's race, with campaign finance practices becoming a flashpoint.
Jones' campaign dismissed the complaint as a political maneuver by his opponent.
