The Georgia 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 rival Republican candidate and Attorney General Chris Carr, questioned the legality of Jones' self-financing. The commission dismissed the complaint, stating it did not allege a violation of state law. Jones' campaign called the complaint a political move by Carr to gain attention.
This decision clears a major hurdle for Jones as he launches his campaign, which includes a proposal to repeal the state income tax.
