Georgia's State Ethics Commission has dismissed a complaint and declined to investigate Lt. Gov. Burt Jones regarding a $10 million loan he made to his own gubernatorial campaign committee.
The complaint, filed by Attorney General Chris Carr—Jones' rival in the 2026 Republican primary for governor—alleged the loan may have violated state law. The commission's decision means Jones will face no ethics penalties over the self-financing issue. The controversy has become a flashpoint in the early stages of the Georgia governor's race, with Carr criticizing Jones' campaign financing methods.
Jones' campaign has dismissed the complaint as a political tactic.
