Georgia's State Ethics Commission has declined to investigate Lt. Gov. Burt Jones regarding a $10 million loan he made to his own campaign committee for the 2026 governor's race.
The complaint, filed by Attorney General Chris Carr, alleged the loan may have violated state law, but the commission found no grounds for an investigation. Jones, a Republican, is running for governor and has made repealing the state income tax a key part of his platform. The dismissal of the complaint removes a potential obstacle from Jones' campaign.
The dispute highlights early tensions in the Republican primary for Georgia governor.
