Georgia's State Ethics Commission has declined to investigate Lt. Gov. Burt Jones over a $10 million loan he made to his gubernatorial campaign committee.
The complaint, filed by Attorney General Chris Carr, alleged the loan may have violated state law, but the commission ruled it did not allege a violation and dismissed the case. The dispute has become a focal point in the early stages of the 2026 Georgia governor's race, with Carr attacking Jones over the self-financing of his campaign. Jones' campaign dismissed the complaint as a political maneuver.
The decision clears Jones to continue his campaign without an ethics investigation into the loan.
