The 2026 legislative session came in a contentious election year as top lawmakers focused mostly on cutting taxes. Despite billions of dollars more for roadwork, little was earmarked to build new sidewalks, signals and crossing paths. #gapol pro.stateaffairs.com/ga/tran…

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp endorses Lt. Gov. Burt Jones in the 2026 race for governor, one day before tomorrow’s primary runoff. Jones sees the endorsement as pivotal: “I think it’s going to put us over the top.” Why the endorsement now? Kemp says: “Because I want to win.” #gapol

Over the last eight years, we’ve achieved historic wins for hardworking Georgians from all walks of life and made our state the best place to live, work, and raise a family. We’ve passed the largest tax cut in state history, announced the largest economic development projects ever, raised teacher pay by nearly ten thousand dollars, led the entire nation in recovering from a pandemic, cracked down on criminal street gangs, invested historic amounts in school safety and classroom excellence, and made Georgia a national leader in job creation from businesses large and small. That’s a conservative record of success that Marty, the girls, and I are proud of—and it’s one that would not have been possible without our partners in the General Assembly. Whether it was during his service in the state senate or as Lt. Governor, @burtjonesforga has been a strong, trusted ally in those victories for the people of our state. He worked hard alongside me and my administration to return over $9 billion back to taxpayers, raise pay and retirement benefits for state law enforcement, and he never wavered when we took on the special interests to pass meaningful tort reform for the first time in twenty years. Burt knows how to get things done as governor because that’s what he has done as a state senator and as your Lt. Governor. The hardest part about being governor is making decisions that aren’t always popular or easy. I’ve worked alongside Burt for nearly fifteen years and I’m confident that he will always put hardworking Georgians first. This fall, Georgians will have a clear choice to make in their next governor. I believe Burt Jones will make a strong case to the voters for four more years of conservative leadership that ensures our state’s best days are ahead, while Democrats try to run from Keisha Lance Bottoms’ record of complete failure as mayor of Atlanta. Marty, the girls, and I are proud to endorse Burt Jones to be the 84th Governor of the great state of Georgia and ask you to join us in supporting him on Tuesday.
